Sudanese pastor pleads for help
In the last month, Sudan, Africa has been engulfed in violent conflict at the hands of Muslim jihadists. International Christian Concern recently received a letter from a pastor requesting help.
He wrote, “Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. My name is Peter, and I am serving as a pastor at a church in Sudan. On behalf of our church and the people of my village, we are writing to seek your assistance in helping the people of Sudan.
“The conflict was triggered by gunfire which has led to the suffering of my church and other churches in Sudan. Many people have been forced to flee to neighboring countries. However, there are still many people who are not able to leave the country because they are surrounded by bombs. As a result, many people are suffering due to lack of basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter. …
“In my community, there are 10 children who have died due to hunger. This has further exaggerated people’s fears of starvation.”

Tim Scott’s optimistic American message
On Saturday, Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, a 2024 presidential candidate, spoke in Des Moines, Iowa at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
SCOTT: “I scare the dickens out of the radical Left and Joe Biden. The proof of my life destroys their lies.
“When I was just a 7-year-old kid, my parents divorced. I moved back in with my grandfather and my grandmother. My grandfather who grew up in a very different America. Born in 1921, in a segregated part of South Carolina, he knew a very different story. But the first words out of his mouth to me was, ‘You can be bitter or you can get better. But you can’t be both!’
“My grandfather believed then, what some doubt now, in the goodness of what America would one day be. He taught me that if you have faith in God, faith in yourself, and faith in America, all things are possible. Thank God Almighty for a man who understood the American story!”
Glamour Magazine features “Pregnant Man”
The latest edition of Glamour Magazine in Britain features on its cover a picture of a pregnant woman identifying as a man, reports FaithWire.com.
Logan Brown was once lesbian but now, in further moral confusion, she identifies as a “trans pregnant man.”
According to Fox News, she said, “I am a trans pregnant man. No matter what anyone says, I am literally living proof.”
In response, British commentator Piers Morgan tweeted, “Living proof of what? Logan is a biological female who got pregnant, as hundreds of millions of biological females do each year. Why are you presenting this as a man getting pregnant which is biologically impossible?”
To put this controversy into proper perspective, watch Matt Walsh’s explosive documentary, “What Is A Woman?” which can now be seen for free. Already, 110 million people have watched it on Twitter in the first 24 hours with 160,000 retweets.
Genesis 1:27 declares, “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.”
San Antonio, TX Mayor brazenly flies homosexual pride flag
San Antonio, Texas Mayor Ron Nirenberg, who has previously acted as the Grand Marshall of the Homosexual Pride Parade, celebrated the sexually perverted citizens in the Alamo City in his June 1st tweet.
Back on June 26, 2021, for the first time, the San Antonio, Texas City Council had the audacity to fly a homosexual pride flag, with the San Antonio insignia, over City Hall.
[In a picture linked in our transcript at www.TheWorldview.com, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, the one wearing jeans and boots, can be seen holding the right side of the homosexual pride flag.]
Not surprisingly, Nirenberg, in a point of personal privilege during the June 1st City Council meeting last week, announced that the homosexual pride flag had once again been hoisted up the flag pole over City Hall earlier that day.
NIRENBERG: “First of all, San Antonio remains a city that is welcome to all and where everyone’s dignity is recognized, and that we treat people with compassion. June 1st begins Pride Month throughout the country. And so, you will see on top of City Hall, starting today, that the [Homosexual] Pride Flag will be flying from June 1 through June 30. So, [I] wanted to recognize that.”
Needless to say, there is nothing dignified about perverse sexual behavior.
Indeed, Romans 1:24, 26-27 says, “Therefore, God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”
To politely object to San Antonio, Texas Mayor Ron Nirenberg for celebrating sexual perversion, please call 210-207-7107, email him, or write a letter: Mayor Ron Nirenberg, City Hall, 100 Military Plaza, San Antonio, TX 78205.
Capitol police stop children’s choir from singing National Anthem
And finally, lawmakers are criticizing Capitol police for interrupting children singing in the U.S. Capitol building, preventing them from finishing a performance of the National Anthem, reports LifeSiteNews.com.
On Friday, May 26, the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir from Greenville, South Carolina, was told to stop singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” because a police officer deemed the performance a “demonstration.”
In a 26-second clip circulating on Twitter, the choir’s director and founder, David Rasbach, can be seen conducting a small group of children beautifully singing the National Anthem.
Listen.

He verified that a female capitol officer told him that “The Star-Spangled Banner” could be “offensive” to some people.
Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin tweeted, “What is happening to our country? Instead of stopping children singing the National Anthem, let’s stop the Radical Leftists who are destroying America.”
