Nigerian Muslims beheaded 4 people including a Christian
Open Doors UK reports that Muslim extremists beheaded four abducted individuals recently in northeast Nigeria. At least one of them was a Christian.
The terrorists released a graphic video of the murders and are believed to be from Boko Haram. In the video, an armed terrorist said, “Wherever there is an infidel, we will go and find them out by ourselves and execute them.”
John Samuel with Open Doors said, “Boko Haram extremists have clearly said time and time again that they are waging a jihad against people they call ‘infidels’ – that is anyone who does not sign up to their extreme interpretation of Islam. Some of the people at the top of this list, then, are Christians who are clear targets because of their faith.”
60,000 Brits sign freedom of prayer petition
Alliance Defending Freedom released a petition for freedom of prayer in the United Kingdom. this month. Already, nearly 60,000 people have signed it.
Authorities in the U.K. recently convicted a Christian of violating censorship zones around abortion mills. Army veteran Adam Smith-Connor had simply prayed silently near an abortion mill!
Alliance Defending Freedom sent the petition to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It states, “Freedom of thought is our most basic and precious of rights — and has long been recognized in British law and every major human rights document from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights onwards.”
Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.”
Kamala calls Trump a “petty tyrant,” likening him to King George III
Last night, Vice President Kamala Harris made her campaign’s closing argument in a speech at the Ellipse in the nation’s capital, reports The Epoch Times. Her campaign claimed that 75,000 people were in attendance.
The rally was located at a symbolic site for two reasons. First, it had a direct view of the White House. And secondly, it’s the place where Trump delivered his speech on January 6, 2021, that preceded the Capitol breach.
HARRIS: “Nearly 250 years ago, America was born when we wrested freedom from a petty tyrant. Across the generations, Americans have preserved that freedom, expanded it, and, in so doing, proved to the world that a government of, by, and for the people is strong and can endure. (cheers)
“Those who came before us, the patriots at Normandy and Selma, Seneca Falls and Stonewall (cheers), on farmlands and factory floors, they did not struggle, sacrifice, and lay down their lives only to see us cede our fundamental freedoms. (cheers)
“They didn’t do that only to see us submit to the will of another petty tyrant. (cheers) These United States of America, we are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators.”
GOP Congressman: People are done with Kamala’s fear mongering
Appearing on The Angle with Laura Ingraham on Fox News, Republican Congressman Byron Donalds of Florida rejected the nasty tone, fear mongering, and unsupported accusations in the waning days that Kamala Harris has adopted.
Listen.
DONALDS: “They were joy and vibes three weeks ago. Now, everything is ‘attack Donald Trump,’ ‘call him Hitler,’ ‘call his supporters fascists.’
“We were at Madison Square Garden. Laura, it was great to see you there. It was a fantastic night.
“You had people like myself, Vivek Ramaswamy, ‘Harry-O,’ the founder of Death Row Records. We spoke at that rally. Do you think the Nazis would let two black guys and a guy of Hindu dissent speak at a rally? At one of theirs? Absolutely not! But that’s all they have.
“The constant fear mongering and gaslighting is enough. People are sick of it. They’re done. They’re done with Kamala Harris and they’re done with this version of the Democrat Party.”
Washington Post, L.A. Times, & USA Today don’t endorse for president
Breaking with recent practice, major news outlets are not endorsing a candidate in the upcoming presidential election.
The Washington Post announced last Friday it is not making a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years.
The Los Angeles Times and USA Today also announced they will not be endorsing a candidate for president. In the wake of the decisions, top editors resigned and 200,000 left-leaning subscribers to the Washington Post cancelled their subscriptions.
Many conservatives have concluded that Jeff Bezos and Patrick Soon-Shiong, the billionaire owners of the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times respectively, have concluded that Trump is likely to win the 2024 election and do not want to irritate him by endorsing Kamala Harris.
How God spared a couple in Hurricane Helene
Queen City News reports a North Carolina couple is giving thanks to God after surviving Hurricane Helene.
Howard Ray and his wife, Lisa, thought they were about to die as flooding swamped their trailer in Yancey County. However, they were able to escape the trailer and use their couch as a flotation device. Eventually, they made their way to safety.
HOWARD: “I don’t understand. We shouldn’t be alive. I mean, there’s just no way. It’s all God.”
LISA: “Yeah, we shouldn’t be alive, but God has a purpose.”
REPORTER: “What do you think that purpose is?”
LISA: “I’m not sure. I’m still asking questions.”
HOWARD: “I think maybe what we’re doing right now, maybe it gets out and shows people that there is a God.”
Lisa had to be hospitalized for some cuts, and Howard, a lieutenant with the local volunteer fire department, returned to the area to help first responders. They both praised God for His protection.
Worldview listeners fully fund Pakistani orphanage well
And finally, if you heard the newscast on Monday, you learned that a 200-foot-deep well of a Pakistani Christian orphanage, which housed 87 orphans, had become polluted with chemicals which tragically led to the deaths of two orphans.
Toward the $15,000 cost of building a 500-foot-deep well which will deliver safe drinking water, Pastor Michael, the founder of the orphanage whom I have met personally, still needed to raise the final $4,185. Thanks to several Worldview donors on Monday, the amount remaining was $3,110.
And yesterday, Michele in Altha, Florida gave $100, a couple from San Antonio, Texas gave $150, a family in Lexington Park, Maryland gave $150, a couple in Paw Paw, Michigan gave $500, a couple in Kailua Kona, Hawaii gave $500, a couple in Simpsonville, South Carolina gave $1,000, and Dick and Deborah in Wayland, Michigan — along with their teenage sons Jonas and Jeremiah who contributed money from their dog-sitting business – gave $1,054.75.
Those 7 donations add up to $3,454.75. That means we surpassed the goal by $344.75. The additional money will go toward the $2,000 monthly budget which pays for the food, clothing, medical care, and Christian education of the 85 orphans.
If you would like to help with that budget, send your tax-deductible donation made out to Rio Grande Valley Prayer Center, their sister organization here in America. The address is 3106 Harmony Lane, Mission, TX 78574. In the memo, write: “Pakistani orphanage.” The prayer center will then wire your money to a nearby bank in Pakistan. Please email me at Adam@TheWorldview.com to let me know how much you sent so I can offer one final report on Thursday’s newscast.
James 1:27 says, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
