Muslims slit throats of Christians in Mozambique, Africa
Barnabas Aid reports that fighters from the terrorist group called “ISIS Mozambique” killed four Christians in northern Mozambique this month.
In one incident, Muslim militants slit the throats of Christians they described as “infidel Christians.” They killed another Christian in a machine gun attack.
Militants began an insurgency in the southern African country in 2017, killing thousands of people since then.
Mozambique is ranked 39th on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of nations where it most dangerous to be a Christian.
Christians oppose Britain’s End-of-Life Bill
Christian leaders sent a letter to the United Kingdom parliament, opposing a proposed End of Life Bill.
The measure would allow terminally ill adults to seek assistance in ending their own lives. The bill moves forward with a second reading on Friday.
The recent letter warned, “This bill, in our view, undermines the value of life and lacks the safeguards needed to protect those most at risk from being coerced into premature death.”
Trump threatens tariffs on Canada, Mexico, & China until illegals & drugs stop
In the United States, President-elect Donald Trump announced his plans for tariffs on Monday.
The plan affects America’s primary trading partners—Canada, Mexico, and China.
At the start of his second term, Trump said Canada and Mexico will face a 25% tariff until they curb the flow of migrants and drugs across the border. Trump also announced a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, in addition to any other tariffs on the country, until it deals with fentanyl smuggling.
Trump picks Scott Turner for Sec. Housing and Urban Development
Last Friday, President-elect Trump nominated Scott Turner to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Turner played football in the NFL before serving in the Texas House of Representatives. He worked in the first Trump administration, and is an associate pastor at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas.
Turner responded to the nomination on X. He wrote, “Thank you, Mr. President. I am thrilled to continue the outstanding work we began in your last administration at HUD with an incredible team. … I would also like to express the sincerest of gratitude to my mentor, Secretary Ben Carson. … We have an important mission ahead. To God be the glory. Let’s get to work!”
Target fired Christian who wrote “Trust in Jesus” on Target nametag
KVLY-TV reports that Target has apologized for firing an employee over Christian messaging on her name tag.
Denise Kendrick worked for a Target store in Fargo, North Dakota. She said she was fired earlier this month for writing “trust in Jesus” on her Target nametag.
A manager told her that she couldn’t wear the nametag. Kendrick replied, “Well, I’ve seen people with rainbows on theirs. I’m going to continue to wear this nametag,” And then they said, “Well, you can’t work here anymore.”
After the incident, a Target spokesman said, “Upon learning of the situation, we conducted a review and determined that the team member should not have been terminated. We apologized to her and offered to reinstate her immediately.”
In Matthew 10:32, Jesus said, “So everyone who acknowledges Me before men, I also will acknowledge before My Father who is in Heaven.”
Walmart rolls back Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies
On Monday, Walmart announced it is rolling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
It’s the latest large company to do so.
The world’s largest retailer will no longer participate in the Human Rights Campaign, the largest lobbying group for sexually perverted lifestyles in the U.S.
Robby Starbuck is a conservative activist who has been calling out companies for their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. After talking with Walmart, he wrote on X, “This is the biggest win yet for our movement to end wokeness in corporate America.”
World’s oldest man died
And finally, the world’s oldest man died in England on Monday. He was 112 years old.
John Alfred Tinniswood was born on August 26, 1912, just months after the Titanic sank. He lived through both world wars and served in the British Army Pay Corps during World War II.
Tinniswood’s family said he was active in retirement. He volunteered as an elder in this local church where he gave sermons. He said moderation was important to a healthy life.
Tinniswood is survived by his daughter, Susan, four grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
Proverbs 3:1-3 says, “My son, do not forget My law, but let your heart keep My commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you. Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.”
