Nigerian Muslims kill 23 in 3-day string of attacks
From February 16th to February 19th, suspected Islamic terrorists in Nigeria killed 23 people, injured 10, kidnapped five, and set ablaze 28 houses across multiple villages, reports International Christian Concern.
It is unknown if these are coordinated attacks or if the same terrorists are committing each attack in the area.
Audu Tanko said, “There is tension now in my village. We are killed because of our faith in Jesus.”
Luke 11:49-51 says, “God in His wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’ Therefore, this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.”
Trump wallops Haley in South Carolina
On Saturday, Donald Trump cruised to victory in the South Carolina Republican primary. He had received 59.7% of the vote over former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley with 39.5% of the vote, reported Fox News.
TRUMP: “This was a little sooner than we anticipated. (cheers) It was an even bigger win than we anticipated. (cheers) And I was just informed that we got double the number of votes that has ever been received in the great state of South Carolina. So, that’s pretty good. (cheers)
“I just want to say that I have never seen the Republican Party so unified as it is right now. (cheers)
“We’re going to be up here on November 5th, and we’re gonna look at Joe Biden and we’re gonna look him right in the eye. He’s destroying our country. And we’re gonna say, ‘Joe you’re fired. Get out! Get out Joe. You’re fired.’” (cheers)
South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said this.
McMASTER: “I would like you all to remember this moment, that you were here. This is a great moment in American history. We will probably never see another one like it. Every time a rocket launches you know it goes up slow and it is climbing and climbing and then boom, that next stage comes off and it goes. Well, we just did that. We just hit maximum velocity! We going all the way!” (cheers)
And South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham spoke at Trump’s victory as well.
GRAHAM: “America, the nightmare (cheers) you’re facing is just about over. Help is on the way. (cheers) This is the most qualified man to be president United States. (cheers) And let it be said that South Carolina created the biggest political comeback in American history!”
Nikki Haley vows to continue
Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley received an unusual introduction after having lost the primary in her home state.
ANNOUNCER: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the next President of the United States, Nikki Haley.”
She congratulated the victor.
HALEY: “I want to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory and I want to thank the people of South Carolina for using the power of your voice. … I feel blessed tonight. I’ve felt blessed through this entire journey, even when it’s been tough. I haven’t lost sight of that. I’ve felt God’s strength and grace every step of the way.”
Haley described what she believed was the underlying message.
HALEY: “It’s a blessing to know that across our sweet state everyone wants to bring back the America we know and love. (cheers) That’s the underlying message of what happened today.”
But she doesn’t think that Biden nor Trump is the answer.
HALEY: “We can’t afford four more years of Biden’s failures or Trump’s lack of focus. (cheers) Does anyone seriously think Joe Biden or Donald Trump will unite our country to solve our problems? One of them calls his fellow Americans fascists. The other calls his fellow Americans vermin. They aren’t fighting for our country’s future. Their demanding we fight each other. The younger generation, my children’s generation, knows it better than anyone. They deserve better. They deserve leadership.” (cheers)
Despite receiving a trouncing in her home state, Haley vowed to stay in the race.
HALEY: “I said earlier this week that no matter what happens in South Carolina, I would continue to run for president. (cheers) I’m a woman of my word. (cheers) I’m not giving up this fight when a majority of Americans disapprove of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden. (cheers) South Carolina has spoken. We’re the fourth state to do so. In the next 10 days, another 21 states and territories will speak. They have the right to a real choice.”
Biology professor fired for teaching chromosomes determine sex reinstated
And finally, a Texas college has reinstated a professor who was fired for teaching about the traditional, biological definition of gender, reports The Christian Post.
Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
In a statement published Tuesday, the Christian law firm First Liberty Institute announced that Johnson Varkey, a St. Philip’s College adjunct professor, has been reinstated after he was fired in January 2023 for rejecting aspects of homosexual and transgender ideology.
The law firm filed a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission after the San Antonio, Texas-based historically black community college fired Varkey because the biology professor told his students that sex is determined by an individual’s chromosomes.
In a letter to St. Philip’s College last summer, First Liberty Institute complained to administrators that Varkey’s termination violated the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as well as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The settlement reached Tuesday will enable Varkey to return to the classroom by the fall semester of the 2024-2025 academic year.
