Since 2000, Nigerian Muslims have slaughtered 100,000

This week marks 10 years since the International Criminal Court began to investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity in Nigeria, Africa.

Since 2000, Islamic militant groups are responsible for the deaths of 100,000 Nigerians. Christians are often targeted in these attacks.

Nigeria is ranked 12th on the Open Doors World Watch List of places where it is most difficult to be a Christian. Please remember our brothers and sisters in Christ there in your prayers.

Trump to Iran: Stop abusing Christian converts

The Trump administration leveled new sanctions against Iran on Wednesday over human rights violations.

The Muslim regime is known for its abuse of human rights. For example on Sunday, an Iranian Christian convert received 80 lashes just for drinking communion wine.

Elsewhere in the Middle East, the U.S. is bringing thousands of troops home. By January, the number of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq will be reduced to 2,500 in each country.

U.S. hate crimes on the rise including against Christians

The FBI’s latest statistics show hate crimes in the U.S. increased in 2019 to their highest level in over a decade.

Law enforcement agencies reported 7,103 single-bias incidents last year.

Over 20 percent of the incidents were prompted by religious bias. About 10 percent of the offenses motivated by religious bias were against Christians. The most common crimes prompted by religious bias were assault, intimidation, and vandalism.

Jesus said in John 15:20, “A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.”

Giuliani: “Joe Biden is in lead because of fraudulent ballots”

The Trump campaign legal team held a fiery press conference yesterday about alleged voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani said the evidence they are taking to the courts could change the election.

GIULIANI: “In the states we have indicated in red—Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona—we more than double the number of votes needed to overturn the election in terms of provable illegal ballots. . . . We cannot allow these crooks—because that’s what they are—to steal an election from the American people. They elected Donald Trump. They didn’t elect Joe Biden. Joe Biden is in the lead because of the fraudulent ballots, the illegal ballots, that were produced and that were allowed to be used after the election was over. Give us an opportunity to prove it in court, and we will.”

Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell also revealed how multiple American voting systems are controlled by foreign entities and how the software used in them was originally created by Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez to rig his elections.

One of the systems, called Dominion Voting Systems, is used in 2,000 jurisdictions in 30 states. Powell said the systems give users the ability to flip ballots from one candidate to another as well as delete ballots.

Leviticus 19:11 says, “You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.”

Florida police officers arrest 170 on sex-trafficking charges

The Tallahassee, Florida Police Department announced the conclusion of a two-year operation known as “Stolen Innocence” this week.

The operation began with the rescue of a 13-year-old girl from sex trafficking. Law enforcement went on to arrest over 170 people on human-trafficking related charges.

An estimate 199,000 human trafficking incidents occur each year in the U.S. Florida is ranked in the top five states for reported cases.

Abortions dropped during coronavirus shutdowns

A study by researchers at the University of Kansas found that abortions and visits to abortion mills decreased this year between February and May compared with last year.

Many states restricted elective medical procedures, including surgical abortions, in response to the coronavirus shutdowns.

Despite the decrease, abortion is still far deadlier than the coronavirus. This year, over 1.3 million people have died from the coronavirus worldwide, while over 37 million babies have been murdered in the womb.

Black Christian astronaut headed to Int’l Space Station

And finally, Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched their second crew to the International Space Station on Sunday. The four astronauts on board are on a six-month science mission.

One of the astronauts, Victor Glover, is a Christian and the first black crew member on the space station.

Glover told The Christian Chronicle that his family, church, Bible reading, and prayer will be important sources of encouragement during his mission.
