Ugandan Muslim terrorists massacre 40 Catholics with machetes
Members of the Islamic Allied Democratic Forces, based in Western Uganda, struck the Congo town of Komanda on Sunday, killing almost 40 Catholic worshipers with machetes.
This follows a similar massacre of 70 Protestant Christians in February in the city of Mayba, Congo.
522,000 Sudanese babies died of malnutrition
Famine is on the rise across the world today, according to the World Food Program.
A total of 600,000 Sudanese face catastrophic hunger, and 8 million face emergency levels of hunger. The problem is four times worse in Sudan than it was last year.
Since the outbreak of the Sudanese civil war in 2023, over 522,000 babies have died of malnutrition, as well as thousands of older children. That’s according to the Committee of Sudanese Doctors. This represents a sharp increase of deaths by famine — a metric that has averaged around 100,000 per year since the 1970s.
Other nations facing emergency levels of hunger include Myanmar, South Sudan, Mali, and Haiti.
127 people starved to death in Gaza
The World Food Program revealed about half a million people face catastrophic hunger in Gaza.
Specifically, the AP reports that 127 people have starved to death in Gaza this year.
From Psalm 146:5-9, we read, “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, Who made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.”
Cambodian/Thai ceasefire
It all started when Cambodian tourists visiting Thailand began singing the Cambodian national anthem back in February. Then, on May 28th of this year, Cambodian and Thai soldiers took a few pot shots at each other across the border.
One Cambodian soldier died. Tensions increased over the next month. During early July, several Thai soldiers were severely injured when stepping on Cambodian-placed landmines at the border.
That’s what it took to ignite all-out war between the two countries, beginning on July 24th. At least 33 citizens and soldiers were killed in the conflict.
This conflict, which became deadly, illustrates the biblical principle from 1 Corinthians 3:3. It says, “For you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?”
Thankfully, as of yesterday, the two nations have reached an agreement to an “immediate and unconditional ceasefire,” reports The Khmer Times.
Japan’s conservative political party rising in stature
An anti-immigrant, anti-foreigner party called Sanseito has gained ascendance in Japan for the first time since World War II — moving from 1 to 15 seats in the nation’s governing body.
Other conservative type parties gained another 15 seats in the 248 seat upper house, for a total of a 12% gain.
Trump to Russia: 12 days to reach ceasefire
President Donald Trump is upping the ante with Russia.
He gave Russian President Valdimir Putin 12 days to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine, or he will impose 100% tariffs on countries which purchase Russian exports. That would include China, India, Turkey, Brazil, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Democrats viewed extremely unfavorably
The Democrats are now viewed extremely unfavorably here in America by the public.
A new Wall Street Journal poll revealed that 63% of voters look upon the party unfavorably. Only 33% view it favorably.
The American public appreciates the Republican views over the Democratic views on issues like immigration, inflation, and foreign policy.
Americans are also most upset with the Trump administration over tariffs, healthcare, and the Ukraine war.
63% of Americans want abortion legal in most cases
The latest Associated Press/National Opinion Research Center polling indicates that 63% of Americans want abortion legal in most cases, and 52% support abortion for any reason whatsoever.
Hulk Hogan rededicated faith in Christ at baptism 18 months before death
And finally, a pastor with Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Florida has publicly announced baptizing Hulk Hogan, whose given name was Terry Bollea, prior to the pro-wrestler’s recent passing. According to the New York Post, Hogan was baptized 18 months before his death on July 24, 2025.
Hogan was asked about it on the Christian Broadcasting Network.
REPORTER: “Public baptism. You have said: the greatest moment of your life.”
HOGAN: “Yes, without a doubt.”
REPORTER: “Terry, what did that mean for you?”
HOGAN: “It broke down that fourth or fifth wall to tell people the truth about my Lord and Savior, and it set me free. I wasn’t that perfect vessel that I should have been. Once I was baptized, I felt I was all new. It really was a major pivot in my life.”
In December 2023, Hogan wrote that his baptism marked “Total surrender and dedication to Jesus.”
Pastor Aaron Filippone included an extended eulogy for Hogan on an X post over the weekend. The pastor noted that Hogan had worshiped faithfully with his wife at the church over the past two years..
He said, “He didn’t just talk about his faith—he lived it. He walked in grace, and he made sure everyone around him knew that grace was available for them too.”
The pastor added: “Jesus offers hope, forgiveness, and eternal life to anyone who believes. We invite you to visit a local, Bible-believing church—just like Terry did.”
Hogan, referencing his actual first name of “Terry” in this portion of the CBN interview, talked about his desire to live a faithful life as a Christian.
HOGAN: “What Terry brings to the table is a meat suit, a meat suit, filled with the Spirit of Christ, and it’s a testing ground for me. I accepted Christ as my Savior. I was 14, but I derailed. It wasn’t my life. He has given me the opportunity to prove that I’m faithful and I’ll never make those same mistakes again.”
Indeed, Hogan had led a rocky life, marked by two unhappy divorces.
