Gunwoman kills 3 kids and 3 adults at Christian school
This may be the first instance of an attack on a Christian school in U.S. history.
Yesterday morning, a young woman entered Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee armed with two military-type rifles and a handgun, killing three staff members and three children, reports The Christian Post. The K-6 school is operated by Covenant Presbyterian Church (PCA).
According to police reports, the 28-year-old woman was attempting to change herself into a male, and preferred “he/him” pronouns. Now identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, she was a former student at the Christian school.
Hale entered the school around 10:13 am, and within 14 minutes, she was fatally shot by a team of five police officers. An FBI study of these rampages found that nine out of 250 involve female perpetrators.
In Matthew 15:19-20, Jesus tells us “Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries … These are the things which defile a man [or a woman].”
80,000 Israelis protest Netanyahu’s judicial restructure
Over the weekend, 80,000 citizens hit the streets in Israel, protesting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to restructure the nation’s judiciary, reports CBS News.
A nationwide strike kicked in yesterday. At issue appears to be the anti-Palestinian, anti-LHBTQ, and pro-gun positions taken by some of the conservative government.
The controversial legislation has been put on hold until the next legislative term following Passover observance in April.
Russia to place nuclear weapons on Ukraine’s northern border
Over the weekend, Russia announced it will be stationing nuclear weapons in Belarus, located on Ukraine’s northern border, reports Reuters.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he will place nuclear-armed, hypersonic Iskander missiles north of Kiev.
In addition, those Leopard tanks, promised by the German government to aid Ukraine, have been delivered to Kiev, as confirmed by TASS, the Russian news agency.
Proverbs 21:1 says, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water, He turns it wherever He will.”
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) supports disfiguring trans surgeries for kids
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is urging Kentucky Democrat Governor Andy Beshear to veto a bill that would protect children from body-mutilating gender surgeries.
An official letter from the stated clerk of the denomination affirmed that “The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) strongly affirms the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and transgender people.”
Chick-fil-A tops most profitable restaurant list
QSR Magazine has released its latest list of most profitable fast food restaurants in the U.S.
Once again, Chick-fil-A tops the list with annual average receipts of $6,100,000 per store. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts comes in second place with $4,000,000. In and Out and McDonalds come in at third and fourth place.
There are 2,732 Chick-fil-A stores. That compares to 12,775 McDonald’s. The largest restaurants in the U.S., by total sales, are McDonalds with $46 billion of annual income, Starbucks with $24 billion, and Chick-fil-A with $16.7 billion of annual income.
Chick-fil-A and In and Out comprise two of the top four most profitable restaurant chains in the U.S. — and both have a reputation of holding to Christian values. Chick-fil-A is closed on the Lord’s Day for family and worship. And In and Out features Scripture verses on their packaging.
Christian weatherman prays on air
And finally, you gotta hear this folks.
Coming back to that monster tornado that took down Amory, Mississippi last week.
A local meteorologist, Matt Laubhan, was warning the town of the imminent approach of the cataclysm. And then, Matt prayed on air that Jesus would help the people of the town.
Listen.
LAUBHAN: “So Amory, [Tennessee], we need to be in our tornado safe place. We got a new scan coming in here as we speak. Oh man. Like north side of Amory, this is coming in. Oh man. Dear Jesus, please help them. Amen. Okay, so.”
Samaritan’s Purse has set up two U.S. Disaster Relief units—in Rolling Fork and in Amory. To help with the relief fund, just go to SamaritansPurse.org.
