Nigerian Muslims slaughtered 27 Christians including 3-year-old girl
At 3:00 a.m. on July 15th, the Christian village of Bindi near Jos in the Plateau State in Nigeria, was plunged into a nightmare. Twenty-seven Christians were slaughtered, including a 3-year-old girl and nine members of Pastor Davou Musa’s family, burned alive in their home, reports TruthNigeria.com.
These attacks are not isolated incidents.
They are part of a coordinated, radical Islamic campaign carried out by Fulani terrorists, with a mission to eradicate Christians from Nigeria and establish a Muslim caliphate. The perpetrators shouted “Allahu Akbar” as they hacked, shot, and burned families alive.
One pastor shed light on what that Arabic phrase means.
PASTOR: “Allah Akbar. Some will translate that as ‘God is great.’ ‘ Perhaps a better translation of that Arabic phrase is, ‘Our God is greater.’ This is a declaration that the demon and demons working through these people consider themselves to be greater than Jesus Christ, the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
“Ephesians 6:[12] says that our war is not just ‘against flesh and blood, but powers, principalities and spirits.’ Practically, what this means is, when you see conflict in the seen realm, there is far greater conflict in the unseen realm. And when you hear, ‘Our God is greater,’ that is a declaration of spiritual warfare from a demon against Jesus Christ, the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.”
And where was the military? Just two miles away, but they arrived two hours late, a disturbing pattern of complicity that Christians have endured over and over again.
Equipping The Persecuted is mobilizing immediately to assist survivors, providing emergency aid, trauma care, food, and security. But they urgently need your help.
They are the only organization on the ground whose mission is to stop the persecution, not just clean up after it. This is not just a humanitarian crisis. It is genocide. And the world is ignoring it.

Huckabee rebukes attackers of Christian church in Palestinian town
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee condemned recent attacks on a Christian village and its historic church in the West Bank, calling them “a crime against humanity and God,” reports The Christian Post.
His statement came after visiting the site of the arson and ongoing harassment.
Huckabee travelled Saturday to Taybeh, a Christian Palestinian town that residents say has endured a wave of assaults by Israeli settlers in recent weeks, according to The Times of Israel. The attacks include a fire set near the ruins of the Church of St. George, which church leaders described as among the most severe incidents to date.
Huckabee, a longtime Evangelical supporter of Israel, said during his visit that the desecration of religious sites represented “an act of terror” and that such actions should carry “harsh consequences.”
Trump diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after leg swelling
Last Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gave the press an update on President Donald Trump’s health. She told reporters that he has experienced mild swelling in his lower legs, according to a memo from Dr. Sean Barbarella, the physician to the president.
LEAVITT: “The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity veinous doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign, common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.”
Leavitt also talked about photos showing some minor bruising on the back of the President’s hand. She explained the bruising is a minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, reports CBN News.
Intercessors for America featured this prayer. Pray with me now, if you would.
“Father, we lift President Trump before You. We ask You would heal him and strengthen his body as he continues to serve our great nation. Amen.”
Why Republicans defunded NPR and PBS
The U.S. Congress voted to defund the Public Broadcasting Corporation by $1.1 billion, reports The Epoch Times.
Republican Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas spoke from the floor of the House.
GILL: “Tonight is the culmination of months of work from House Republicans to defund left wing state sponsored media outlets like NPR.
“During that process, we got to bring in leadership from these outlets, like the CEO of NPR, Katherine Maher to testify before the House Oversight Committee she’s written extensively about every single major woke buzz word that you could think of, including, ‘the ravages of late stage capitalism,’ ‘structural privilege,’ her own ‘cis white mobility privilege.’ Most Americans, including myself, didn’t know what that meant until reading this.
“She’s written about how ‘I do wish Hillary, [meaning Hillary Clinton], wouldn’t use the language of ‘boy and girl.’ It’s erasing language for non-binary people.
“This is the person running the outlet the other side of the aisle wants our tax dollars to subsidize non-partisan news outlets are not run by lunatics like this. Republicans are done using the power that voters give us to fund Democrat media machines. We’re playing to win now.”
Chip and Joanna Gaines promote homosexuality on new TV show
And finally, Christians across America are objecting to the moral compromise of self-proclaimed Christians Chip and Joanna Gaines known for their home renovation show Fixer Upper and the Magnolia Network, reports the New York Post.
As producers of a new reality show “Back to the Frontier” which premiered on July 10th, they sparked backlash for casting a homosexual male couple.
A source close to Chip and Joanna – who cast a faux-married couple Jason Hanna and Joe Riggs and their 10-year-old twin sons through surrogacy – says they have long affirmed perversion.
Conservative Christian leaders like Reverend Franklin Graham and podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey both slammed their decision, with Graham calling the casting “very disappointing.”
Graham was clear in his stance, writing: “His Word is absolute truth. God loves us, and His design for marriage is between one man and one woman.”
This prompted Chip to pour gasoline on the controversy by tweeting: “The way of ‘modern American Christian culture’ is ‘Judge 1st, understand later/never.’ ”
Christian author Matt Walsh replied, “Maybe you should endeavor to understand the basic moral teachings of your own alleged religion before you give lectures to other people about their lack of understanding.”
And Robby Starbuck, another Christian influencer, said, “Promoting this show means cash is greater than Christianity. When you reduce it to that simple truth, it’s eye opening. I hope you correct course Chip. ‘For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?’” (Matthew 16:26)
The TV couple – parents to five children ranging between 20 and seven in age – are active members of the traditionally conservative Antioch Community Church of Waco, Texas. On its website, the church proclaims, “God commissions each of us to go into our spheres of influence and represent Jesus so that His Kingdom would come and His will would be done.”
