Myanmar Bible School shelled by Burmese Army
Last Thursday, a Baptist seminary in Shan State, Myanmar was attacked by the Burmese Army, injuring four men in the dormitory, reports International Christian Concern.
The victims were hit by shrapnel and sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Those injured were Myitung Doi La, age 24; Ndau Awng San, age 27; Nhkum Sut Awng, age 21; and Sumlut Brang San, age 22.
One local resident said that this kind of attack by the military threatens the Christian Bible School and the entire Kachin nation.
MSNBC host vs. New York Governor Kathy Hochul on crime
MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle surprisingly called out Democrat New York Governor Kathy Hochul for the state’s out-of-control crime surge, saying on Friday’s edition of “The 11th Hour”, “we don’t feel safe.”
RUHLE: “But I’m gonna interrupt you then. Here’s the problem. We don’t feel safe. You might be working closely with [New York City] Mayor [Eric] Adams, you may have spent a whole lot of money, but I walk into my pharmacy and everything is on lockdown because of shoplifters. I’m not going in the subway. People don’t feel safe in this town. So, you may have done these things. But, right now, we’re not feeling good. We’re worried we could be San Francisco.”
Oprah’s hypocritical endorsement of John Fetterman
TV icon Oprah Winfrey endorsed Democrat John Fetterman on Thursday in Pennsylvania’s hotly contested Senate race and rejected Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz, whom she had helped launch to stardom nearly two decades ago when she brought him on her popular daytime talk show as a regular guest, reports CBS News.
Until now, Winfrey had said she would leave the election to Pennsylvanians, but she changed that position in an online discussion.
Winfrey said, “I said it was up to the citizens of Pennsylvania, but I will tell you all this, if I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already cast my vote for John Fetterman for many reasons.”
Joy Behar of ABC’s The View congratulated Fetterman on last Friday’s program.
BEHAR: “Overnight, our very own Oprah Winfrey endorsed you over Dr. Oz in the race. We all know that Oprah is the creator of Dr. Oz’s TV career, and she went for you instead. What does this mean to you and your campaign?”
FETTERMAN: “I mean, she’s an icon. I mean, it’s, it’s it’s unbelievable. It’s an honor. And I’m so grateful. And, you know, she understands what’s at stake here in this race. And as I said, I was just incredibly, incredibly honored to have her support in this race. Truly.”
Ironically enough, Oprah mirrors Fetterman’s radical support of abortion despite the fact that her own mother, Vernita Lee, who died in 2018, was pregnant out of wedlock at the age of 17, and courageously chose life for Oprah.
In the April 17, 2019 edition of O Magazine, Oprah recalled telling her mother the year before, “I know it must have been hard for you as a 17-year-old pregnant, scared girl in Mississippi. Many people no doubt told you to get rid of that baby. To have an abortion or give me away. But you didn’t. And for that I thank you. I know you did the best you could with what you had. And for that I thank you. And look how it’s all turned out.”
In Matthew 23:27, Jesus confronted the Pharisees about their hypocrisy, saying, “You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean.”

Most Americans don’t view the Bible as primary determinant of right and wrong
A new study reveals that less than one-third of Americans believe the Bible should serve as the foundation for determining right and wrong, even as most people express support for traditional moral values, reports The Christian Post.
It’s part of the fourth installment of the America’s Values Study, released by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University,
When asked to identify what they viewed as the primary determinant of right and wrong in the U.S., a plurality of participants (42%) said: “what you feel in your heart.”
An additional 29% cited majority rule as their desired method for determining right and wrong, while just 29% expressed a belief that the principles laid out in the Bible should determine the understanding of right and wrong in the U.S.
Not surprisingly, that figure rose to 66% among Spiritually Active, Governance Engaged Conservative Christians, or SAGE Cons, a demographic description coined by Christian pollster George Barna.
Singer Aaron Carter dead at 34
And finally, Aaron Carter, a former child pop singer and younger brother of Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter, drowned in his bathtub in Lancaster, California on Saturday, reports CNN. He was 34.
During the late 90s and early 2000s, he sold millions of copies of his four albums, the first of which was when he was only nine years old, according to the BBC.
As he grew older, Carter transitioned into rap, and also appeared in Broadway musicals and on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.
He faced a number of struggles, checking in to rehab several times and filing a bankruptcy petition in 2013 over millions of dollars of debt, much of it tax-related.
James 4:14 says, “You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.”
So, let’s redeem the time.
