Muslims killed 21 people in Niger
Following the most recent Muslim jihadist attack in Niger, Africa on Thursday, March 17, that killed 21 people, government authorities decided to continue attempting peace talks with the Muslims, reports International Christian Concern.
The attack occurred in the troubled Tillaberi region, near Niger’s border with both Burkina Faso and Mali. Heavily armed Muslims attacked a bus, killing 19 people, and later a truck, killing two more individuals. Terrorist groups linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State frequently carry out violent attacks in that region.
According to the United Nations, thousands of civilians have died in Niger and neighboring Burkina Faso, more than 2.5 million have fled their homes, and 10.5 million are facing crisis levels of hunger.
Jesus said, “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” (John 15:19)
Biden’s female Supreme Court pick cannot define a woman
On yesterday’s newscast, The Worldview documented the inability of Biden’s Supreme Court pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson, to answer the question of when life begins.
In addition, in a televised exchange with Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Jackson had similar difficulty defining what a woman is.
Listen.
BLACKBURN: “Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’?”
JACKSON: “Can I provide a definition?”
BLACKBURN: “Yeah.”
JACKSON: “No. I can’t.”
BLACKBURN: “You can’t?”
JACKSON: “Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”
BLACKBURN: “The meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you can’t give me a definition?”
JACKSON: “Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is I address disputes. If there’s a dispute about a definition, people make arguments, and I look at the law and I decide. So, I’m not …”
BLACKBURN: “The fact that you can’t give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about.”
Did you catch that? Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson actually said that she couldn’t define what a woman is because she’s not a biologist.
Romans 1:21-22 describes Judge Jackson to a “t”. It says, “For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.”
Former Democrat Congressman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii tweeted, “The hypocrisy and absurdity of this is that she was nominated by President Biden in large part because she is a woman.”
Judge Clarence Thomas hospitalized
Last Friday, conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, age 73, was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. where he was being treated for an infection, reports the Associated Press.
Please pray for his full recovery. And join me and send Judge Thomas a get well card at the Supreme Court, 1 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20543. If you get your kids to write him, please take a picture of it and email me at Adam@TheWorldview.com.
Atlanta Hillsong pastor resigns
Sam Collier, the first-ever black lead pastor of a Hillsong church, has announced he is stepping down from his position as a slew of scandals continue to surround the church and its founder, Brian Houston, reports The Christian Post.
Collier, who led the Atlanta, Georgia-based branch of Hillsong, announced his departure from the church on Wednesday afternoon.
The author of A Greater Story: My Rescue, Your Purpose, and Our Place in God’s Plan, wrote, “My greatest reason for stepping down as Pastor of Hillsong Atlanta is probably not a secret to any of you. With all of the documentaries, scandals, articles, accusations and the church’s subsequent management of these attacks, it’s become too difficult to lead and grow a young church in this environment.”
Worldview listeners communicate outrage to Citi Bank
And finally, in reaction to The Worldview’s report on Wednesday that Citigroup is paying for its female employees to travel to kill their babies, a number of you took the time to call (212-793-0710) or email Jane Fraser, the Citigroup CEO, at citisalutes@citi.com.
Ann Baker in Toledo, Ohio wrote, “I think your attitude and disregard for human life and the law is shameful. I will be cutting up my CitiCard and sending it back as I will no longer be using it.”
Morgan Harvey in Lincoln, Nebraska wrote, “It’s in Citigroup’s financial interest to not have women out on maternity leave and that is a repulsive incentive to make for your employees. I can’t think of something more unethical, anti-family, anti-community, and anti-woman. Incentivizing women to have abortions is a disgusting way to make your company money. What weak leadership from a high-profile woman in business such as yourself. I will never do business with Citigroup or its subsidiaries.”
Mikal Dalley in Riverton, Wyoming wrote, “I have used your bank in the past and will not do so again as long as this is the case. Such a shame.”
Cheryl Allison in Waldorf, Maryland wrote, “You just sentenced potentially thousands of innocent babies to death by providing funding for employees in Texas to travel out of state to obtain abortions. You need to know that, by doing so, you are committing a major felony. While prosecutors may look the other way, ordinary citizens have the power under Texas law to sue you in civil court, and I hope they do.”
And Raju Kakumanu, in Charlotte, North Carolina, wrote, “When you help support the killing of a human being you are in violation of the Sixth Commandment, ‘You shall not murder.’ [Mrs. Fraser], you are alive today because God formed you in your mother’s womb and she did not hinder your birth.”
