Muslims in Congo killed 17 patients in a Christian hospital
Sheer evil has struck Africa again.
Last Friday, Muslim militants with the Allied Democratic Forces killed 17 people at a Christian hospital in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
The armed rebels killed patients in their hospital beds, including women who were nursing their babies. Such civilian massacres are becoming more common in the Christian-majority area.
Congo is ranked 35th on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of the most dangerous countries to be a Christian. Open Doors’ profile for the country notes, “Allied with the Islamic State group, the [Allied Democratic Forces] abduct and kill Christians and attack churches, leading to widespread terror, insecurity and displacement.”
European Court of Human Rights denied rights of unborn humans
The European Court of Human Rights ruled in favor of abortion last week, denying the rights of unborn humans.
The case began when a woman wanted to get an abortion in Poland after discovering her baby had a genetic disorder. However, Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal had struck down abortion on the basis of disability.
So, the woman travelled abroad for an abortion and challenged Poland’s decision. The European court ruled against Poland in the case.
Dr. Felix Böllmann with Alliance Defending Freedom International warned, “This judgment sends a troubling signal that the Court is again willing to overstep its role. The Court should return to its original mission of protecting genuine human rights, not inventing false ones.”
Isaiah 10:1-2 says, “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune, which they have prescribed to rob the needy of justice … that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless.”
U.S. pregnancy centers are seeing growth
In the United States, pregnancy centers are seeing growth in recent years.
The Charlotte Lozier Institute released its 2025 National Pregnancy Center Report. The study found 2,775 pregnancy centers provided over $452 million in care, education, and material goods to families in 2024.
The centers also saw over one million new clients for the first time last year. That’s the equivalent of each location serving a new client every day!
The phase out of the unnecessary Department of Education
The U.S. Department of Education announced Tuesday it is handing off major responsibilities to other federal agencies. This is part of the Trump administration’s plan to close the department.
The plan transfers major programs to the Departments of Labor, Interior, State as well as Health and Human Services.
Listen to comments from U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon.
MCMAHON: “The announcement really follows the plan that President Trump has had since Day 1, and that is returning education to the states. He fully believes, as do I, the best education is that that is closest to the child, and not one run from a bureaucracy in Washington D.C.”
Only 11% of U.S. churchgoers have Biblical worldview
Christian researcher Dr. George Barna released his latest survey on the worldview of Americans, specifically regular churchgoers.
The report found only 11% of churchgoers have a Biblical worldview. Only 54% say the Bible is the inspired, error-free Word of God. About 50% or less believe the Bible speaks clearly on moral issues. And 32% of churchgoers now prefer socialism over capitalism.
Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at the Family Research Council, commented on the study. He said, “The answer to these trends is not despair, but a return to the faithful proclamation of God’s Word. We must help Christians connect their zeal for God with the knowledge of God, as Scripture commands in Romans 10:2.”
That verse says, “For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.”
WalMart CEO and Berkshire Hathaway CEO retire
And finally, CEOs of U.S. companies are leaving at record rates this year. This comes as many executives are reaching retirement age.
For example, 59-year-old Doug McMillion will retire from being CEO of Walmart next year after leading the retailer’s growth for over a decade.
In another case, 95-year-old Warren Buffett is stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway this year. After 60 years in leadership, the renowned investor sent out his final letter to shareholders last week.
In his final thoughts, Buffett wrote, “Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it’s hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior.”
Buffett’s billions funded millions of abortions
Too bad Buffet has not used his resources to treat the unborn children in the womb with such Golden Rule kindness.
Instead, the Media Research Center reported that Buffett’s grants to abortion groups through the Buffett Foundation totaled at least $1.3 billion between 1989 and 2012. (The tax returns from 1997 to 2000 were missing.) The New York Times reported, “Most of the [Buffet] Foundation’s spending goes to abortion and contraception.”
Buffett’s biographer describes him as having “a Malthusian dread” of population growth among the poor.
And the Buffett Foundation’s spending in this area was accelerating rapidly as the 2000s unfolded.
Beneficiaries of Buffett’s deadly giving include $300 million for abortion giant Planned Parenthood as well as millions more for the National Abortion Rights Action League, the National Abortion Federation, Catholics for a Free Choice, Abortion Access Project, Population Council, Marie Stopes International, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and dozens of other pro-abortion advocates.
In addition, the Buffett Foundation gave money that was instrumental in creating the abortion drug RU-486 and pushing it through clinical trials. Tragically, 63% of mothers who abort in America today use this deadly drug to kill their babies.
