200 Hindu extremists attack Christians in India
A mob of 200 Hindu extremists attacked a Christian church service in northern India on the Lord’s Day, October 3rd, reports International Christian Concern. At least three sisters in Christ were hospitalized with serious injuries.
Christian leaders in Uttarakhand, located in Northern India, are now calling on authorities to take strict action against the perpetrators. However, no arrests have been made.
Nipah virus, with 70-90% fatality, spreading in China and Australia
In the providence of God, another more deadly virus, called the Nipah virus, is now active in Southern India and Bangladesh.
Discovered in 1999, the Nipah virus (NiV) led to the outbreak of disease in pigs and people in Malaysia and Singapore. That outbreak resulted in nearly 300 human cases and more than 100 deaths. One million pigs were killed to help control the outbreak.
While there have been no other known outbreaks of the Nipah virus in Malaysia and Singapore, outbreaks have been recorded almost annually in some parts of Asia since then—primarily in Bangladesh and India.
Now, the Nipah virus has spread into Australia, Indonesia, and China. This virus has proven 70-75% fatal, with 260 deaths recorded so far. That’s about 7,000 times more deadly than COVID-19.
The Nipa virus is a zoonotic virus. That means humans can pick it up from animals like fruit bats, pigs, dogs, and cats.
Dr. Steven Quay told Fox News the Wuhan, China laboratory has experimented on and developed the Nipah virus, similar to how the same lab adapted a much-less fatal COVID virus for human hosting.
QUAY: “Some of the additional work I’ve done has shown that this very laboratory, that I believe was involved with SARS COVID-2, was working on the Nipah virus, which has an 80 to 90% lethality. So, in December 2019, they were working on doing genetic synthetic biology with the Nipah virus.
“This has to stop! We need to stop doing these kinds of dangerous experiments.”
Christian churches & ministries received $6 billion of PPP money
Ministry Watch reported that Christian churches and ministries received between $6 and $10 billion dollars of government handouts through the Paycheck Protection Program in 2020.
For example, Joyce Meyer Ministries received a PPP loan of at least $5 million.
And churches and ministries which received over $2 million included:
- Shadow Mountain Community Church (led by well-known radio and TV preacher David Jeremiah)
- Ligonier Ministries (founded by R.C. Sproul)
- Elevation Church (led by Steven Furtick)
- Summit Church (led by former Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear)
- Redeemer Presbyterian Church (formerly led by pastor and best-selling author Tim Keller)
- Potter’s House (pastored by T.D. Jakes) and
- Oak Cliff Bible Church (pastored by Tony Evans).
NC Lt. Gov: Perverted curriculum for elementary kids is “filth”
North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, a Republican, is furious with the sexually explicit curriculum in the elementary school classrooms. He referred to LGBTQ education of primary school students as “filth.”
After homosexual activists tried to pressure him to back down, Robinson released a video on Facebook, this past Saturday, in which he doubled down on his initial objection.
ROBINSON: “The idea that our children should be taught about concepts of transgenderism and be exposed to sexually explicit materials in the classroom is abhorrent.
“I will not back down. I will not be silent. And I will not be bullied into submission. I will continue to fight for the rights of our children to receive an education that is free from sexual concepts that do not belong in the classroom. And I don’t care who doesn’t like it!”
His video presents particularly objectionable visual depictions of the violation of sexual sin made available to little children in North Carolina public schools.
Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.”
Texas Heartbeat law saves babies again
The attempt made by the U.S. Justice Department to stop the Texas Heartbeat Bill isn’t working.
On Friday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the baby-protecting legislation could still remain in effect while the lawsuits continue moving through the justice system, reports FoxNews.com.
U.S. inflation and gas prices up. Wages down
One of the best measures of inflation — the Mannheim used car vehicle value index — increased 5.3%, month over month, in September. It was a whopping 27.1% increase over last September.
Median housing prices in the U.S. have inflated at 12% per year over the last two years. And gasoline prices have inflated by an average of 7% over the last two years.
Meanwhile, wages aren’t keeping up. Nominal wage growth is hovering around 4.6%, year over year. And the average savings rate in American bank accounts is a lousy .06%.
The consumer confidence index took a precipitous fall over the summer. Prior to the COVID crisis, it averaged around 130 for years. Now, the index has fallen to 115.2.
And economists point out that “every recession since the 1980s has been precipitated by at least a 10-point drop in the expectations indices,” reports FoxBusiness.com.
DC Comics has outed Superman
And finally, another fallen hero?
The favorite American icon, Superman, has now been outed by DC Comics. He’s participating in sexual sin described as an abomination in Leviticus 18.
Superman was first created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and released to the public in April of 1938. He appeared in Short Films in 1941, and his first feature film was released in 1951.
Superman was the first prototype superhero in American media history.
Here is the word from Psalm 52 for Superman:
“Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? … You love evil more than good,
lying rather than speaking righteousness. … God shall likewise destroy you forever; He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and uproot you from the land of the living.” (Psalm 52:1a, 2,5)
