Muslim brothers beat Christian convert to death in Uganda
A Christian teacher at an Islamic school in eastern Uganda, who had just converted from Islam on October 4th at an Christian evangelistic crusade, was subsequently murdered on October 21st, reports The Christian Post.
Wanjala Hamidu, age 32, was a teacher at Swidiki Islamic School in Nankoma. When his brothers learned about his conversion, they confronted him at the school, demanding that he renounce Christ. After Hamidu refused, they beat him to death, yelling, “Infidel, infidel, shame, shame to our family!”
His mother stood nearby shouting for help, but no one dared to defy the Muslim brothers.
In Matthew 10:32, Jesus said, “Whoever acknowledges Me before others, I will also acknowledge before My Father in Heaven.”

Will Elon Musk buy MSNBC?
Comcast’s corporate reorganization will move cable news channels CNBC and MSNBC, along with other TV brands, into a new company tentatively named SpinCo, sparking speculation about their future, reports Newsweek.
Wall Street Mav tweeted, “Comcast is putting MSNBC up for sale. CNN just announced massive layoffs [are] coming. Maybe the new owners will figure out that lying non-stop to your audience is a lousy business model.”
On Friday, Donald Trump Jr. jokingly suggested that Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a Trump surrogate, buy the liberal network, calling it the “funniest idea.“
Musk tweeted, “How much does it cost?”
Babies conceived in rape should be protected from abortion too
Imagine for a moment, watching repeated news stories where people say that a person like you shouldn’t exist. Imagine hearing, over and over again, that you should be dead. Imagine someone telling you on TV or in real life that you should have been aborted.
That’s been Ryan Bomberger’s experience nearly his whole life.
In an attention-getting new 60-second video, he shares his testimony and challenges those who do not object to abortion in the case of rape to rethink their position.
BOMBERGER: “Some say that I should have been aborted. I am the 1% that’s used 100% of the time to justify abortion. You see, my birth mom was a victim of the violence of rape. But I’m so grateful that she didn’t make me a victim of the violence of abortion.
“You know who else is grateful? My two incredible parents who adopted 10 of their 13 children, and my amazing wife and four kiddos, two of whom were also adopted. Triumph can rise from tragedy.
“My birth mom’s courage proved that to be true. She was stronger than abortion, and her resilience will have beautiful reverberations for generations.
“My name is Ryan Bomberger. I was conceived in rape, but adopted in love.”
Powerful words indeed.
Did you know that Frederick Douglass, the famed former slave and abolitionist, was also conceived in rape?
Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Including those conceived in rape.
Minnesota hospital apologizes for serving free Chick-fil-A sandwiches
Staffers at a Minnesota hospital got triggered by a free Chick-fil-A sandwich.
St. Mary’s Medical Center treated staff to complimentary chicken sandwiches as a way to thank them for their hard work. It turns out some of those staff members were also perpetually-offended snowflakes.
In an email to medical staff that was exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire, Tammy Kritzer, senior vice president at Essentia Health, wrote, “We have received feedback from some colleagues who were concerned or offended by this occurrence, and we value colleagues feeling comfortable expressing their reservations.”
Instead of telling the offended staffers to eat their free meal and relax, the hospital apologized. Kritzer wrote, “We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity.”
Daily Wire reports that staffers came down with a raging case of woke indigestion because Chick-fil-A is owned by a Christian family who follows the teachings of the Bible. They also accused the privately-owned company of donating money to “anti-gay” hate groups like the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Christian talk show host Todd Starnes wrote, “For the record, there’s no evidence that Chick-fil-A has ever discriminated against a member of the LGBTQIA community. It is their pleasure to feed everyone chicken.”
Anniversary of Jackie Robinson named Major League Baseball’s MVP in 1949
And finally, a week ago Monday, November 18th, was the anniversary of the date in 1949 when Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers was named the National League’s Most Valuable Player.
He was the first African-American man to play major-league baseball, having broken baseball’s color line in 1947 as Rookie of the Year.
Robinson led the Brooklyn Dodgers to six league championships and one World Series victory.
Amazingly, he stole home plate 19 times while many players never steal home plate once.
ANNOUNCER #1: “The fans will never forget the sight of Jackie Robinson preparing for the plate on his daring steal.”
ANNOUNCER #2: “Here comes Robinson trying to steal home. He’s safe!”
ANNOUNCER #3: “The Yankee pitcher appears upset.”
Robinson’s presence was controversial in racially segregated Florida. He was not allowed to stay with his white teammates at the team hotel, and instead lodged at the home of Joe and Dufferin Harris, a politically active African-American couple.
Then, in October 1959, Robinson entered the Greenville Municipal Airport’s whites-only waiting room. Airport police asked Robinson to leave, but he refused. At a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People speech in Greenville, South Carolina, Robinson urged “complete freedom” and encouraged black citizens to vote and to protest their second-class citizenship. The following January, approximately 1,000 people marched on New Year’s Day to the airport, which was desegregated shortly thereafter.
Most importantly, Jackie Robinson’s Christian faith sustained him through his career. As he told one reporter about his nightly practice of kneeling by his bedside to pray, “It’s the best way to get closer to God,” adding with a smile, “and a hard-hit groundball.”
