It's Monday, April 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Indonesian Church closed the day before Easter The joyful atmosphere of the Easter weekend celebration at the Ecumenical Christian Communion congregation in Java, Indonesia, turned sorrowful when local government officials sealed the prayer house building on Saturday, April 19, one day before Easter, reports International Christian Concern. The sealing occurred only one day after the congregation held a Good Friday procession to mark one of the three holy days of Easter at their Prayer House.  250,000 attended Pope Francis' funeral Pope Francis' funeral took place in St. Peter's Square on Saturday morning, attended by 250,000 people, before his body was taken to his place of burial across the city, reports LifeSiteNews.com. (audio from male choir) Following the funeral, Francis' body was transferred back inside St. Peter's Basilica before then being placed into a popemobile. His coffin was transported across the city, making a ceremonial tour of Rome's historic center including the Colosseum and Roman Forum. In a rare break from tradition, Francis chose not to be buried inside St. Peter's Basilica, like many of his predecessors. Instead, he selected the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome as his final resting place, reports ABC News. President Trump's fashion faux pas at Pope's funeral Unlike the other heads of state who were dressed in black, U.S. President Donald Trump wore a blue suit and blue tie.  By contrast, First Lady Melania Trump wore a black dress and black veil. The official dress code for the funeral at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City required men to wear a dark suit with a black tie and a black button on the left lapel. Women were asked to wear long black dresses, gloves, and a veil. Former Democratic judge harbored El Salvadoran gang member Attorney General Pam Bondi said that one of the three illegal aliens involved in the arrest of a former Democratic New Mexico judge had images of a decapitated victim on his cell phone, reports The Blaze.com. Bondi offered the revelation as evidence that the illegal alien, allegedly harbored by former Judge Jose "Joel" Cano, was a member of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang from El Salvador. In February, Cano resigned from his office after his residence was searched. Last Friday, the former judge was arrested. Democrats have objected to the arrest and accused the Trump administration of abusing government powers.  When Bondi appeared on Fox News, she explained why the judge was arrested. BONDI: “Judge Cano is charged with allegedly giving him assault rifles, AK47s, AR15s, with a suppressor, a known [Tren de Aragua] member, letting him go to a shooting range to refine and perfect his shooting skills.” She added that Judge Cano has been charged with obstruction, saying, “He admitted post-Miranda [that] he took one of the TDA members' cell phones himself —beat it with a hammer, destroyed it, then walked the pieces to a city dumpster to dispose of it to protect him." Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre dies by suicide Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted pedophile, took her own life last Thursday, reports the New York Post. In a statement to NBC News, the 41-year-old's family said, “It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.” Giuffre took legal action against billionaire financier Epstein in 2015, alleging that she was sex trafficked at age 16 after his ex-lover and convicted madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, recruited her from her job as a locker room attendant at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. She is survived by her three children -- Christian, Noah and Emily. The mom of three also alleged she was forced to have relations with disgraced Prince Andrew three times when she was 17 — including at Epstein's Little St. James island, in New Mexico and in Maxwell's London home, where the notorious photo of her posing with King Charles' brother was taken. While Prince Andrew denied the allegations, he settled out of court with his accuser for a hefty $12 million in 2022. Her family told NBC News, “In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.” Jay Leno, whose wife has advanced dementia, honors marital vows And finally, in a new interview on In Depth with Graham Benzinger, comedian Jay Leno, who hosted NBC's The Tonight Show for 20 years, revealed that he's been caring for his wife, Mavis, who has advanced dementia for five years now. LENO: “We've been married 45 years. The first 40 unbelievable, last five have been challenging. When you have to feed someone and change them and, you know, carry them to the bathroom and do all that kind of stuff every day, it's a challenge. Leno referenced his wedding day vow. LENO: “I like taking care of her. When I got married, you sort of take a vow. Will I live up to this or will I be like a sleazy guy or something happens to my wife? That's really what love is. I'm glad I didn't cut and run. I'm glad I didn't run off with some woman half my age, or any of that silly nonsense, you know?” 1 Corinthians 13:4 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. …” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, April 28th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Send us a textWe ran out of time in our last episode but felt that both of these segments were worthy of being chronicled in our series looking back at the 1992 election. The first is the full press conference of Ross Perot as he withdrew from the 1992 election. It was a move that to this day makes no sense to me as to why he did it. He had been in first place and while he had slipped in the polls he was still in a stronger position than he would ever see again prior to this early withdrawal from the race. You will listen in at his reasoning at the time in his Press conference announcing his withdrawal. Then we will return to the convention hall on that final day and during a break in the action on the convention floor we will listen to a panel discussion that will feature every unsuccessful Democratic nominee over the past 22 years up to that point. It is a fascinating discussion featuring reporters and commentators Robert McNeil, Jim Lehrer, Mark Shields, David Gergen and former Democratic Presidential nominees, Senator George McGovern from 1972, Former Vice President Walter Mondale who was on the national ticket as VP in 1976, 1980- and the nominee in 1984, and Massachusetts former Governor and 1988 Nominee Michael Dukakis. It is a must listen to panel discussion from a set of true history makers.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

The US is bracing for protests, regardless of who wins today's election. The race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is expected to go down to the wire, with the final result being determined by key battleground states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Washington DC is installing reinforced fencing in the Capitol, over fears of protests if Harris wins. And former Democratic Party Treasurer Bill Derrough told Ryan Bridge there could be protests in Democrat strongholds like New York, if there's a Trump victory. He says that tensions are very high, and the rhetoric is very intense. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports two former rivals are now on Donald Trump's presidential transition team.

A former US Treasurer says he hasn't seen this level of support for the Democrats since Barack Obama's presidential campaign.   The Democratic National Convention starts in Chicago today.  It's where Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Governor Tim Walz will accept their presidential and vice presidential nominations.  Former Democratic National Committee Treasurer Bill Derrough told Mike Hosking that Harris has some serious momentum.   He says there's tremendous energy, and a feeling like they haven't felt since 2008 with Barack Obama, maybe even greater than that.  Derrough says there's still some sadness around Biden stepping down, but it's worked out for the best.  He says it couldn't have come together in a better way, supporting Harris and Walz, and making a symbolic handover at the first day of the Convention.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Barrow's campaign focuses on protecting abortion rights, drawing support from advocacy groups like Planned Parenthood. Pinson's campaign argues against Barrow's stance, accusing him of violating judicial ethics by pledging to rule on specific issues. Barrow defends his position, stating he's not pre-judging cases but expressing his legal interpretation. Despite judicial ethics concerns, legal experts note that Georgia's judicial election system allows candidates to articulate their judicial philosophies to voters.

It's Thursday, October 13th, A.D. 2022. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Russian persecution of Ukrainian churches and pastors Protestant churches and pastors are facing persecution in Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine. Over the last month, Russian troops have shut down the three largest Protestant churches in Melitopol as well as churches in Mariupol. Masked soldiers also detained Baptist Pastor Leonid Ponomaryov and his wife Tatyana of Kurchatov Church in Mariupol. In the Luhansk region, leaders of six Protestant churches were forced to flee from the city of Lysychansk. Paul Robinson with Release International said, “We are seeing churches raided, sealed and shut down, and the disappearance and detention of pastors in the occupied areas . . . Yet the message of history should be clear to Russia: the Christian faith has survived 70 years of Soviet totalitarian rule . . . Persecution can only strengthen the church.” Middle Eastern and North African Christians in World Evangelical Alliance At the end of last month, the Middle Eastern and North African Evangelical National Councils held their most representative event since it started in 2018. It's the newest branch of the World Evangelical Alliance. Some evangelical leaders, like those in Egypt, report growth under new government recognition, while others, like those in Iraq, report continued repression. Many Evangelical refugees from countries like Iraq are building communities in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Delegates at the meeting represented some 600 million Evangelicals across the Middle East and northern Africa. Speaking of Christ, Isaiah 9:7 says, “Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.” West Virginia Supreme Court: Tax dollars allowed for private, Christian, & homeschool Last Thursday, the West Virginia Supreme Court upheld the state's Hope Scholarship Act. The 2021 act offered funds for students to use at private school, faith-based school, and homeschool.  State Treasurer Riley Moore said, “This is a victory for West Virginian families over the out-of-state trial lawyers and liberal activists who are trying to block educational freedom and school choice for the children of our state.” Tulsi Gabbard, former Democratic presidential candidate, leaves Democrat Party Tulsi Gabbard, the former congresswoman from Hawaii and 2020 Democrat presidential candidate, announced Tuesday she is leaving her party. The former rising Democrat star posted her reasons for leaving on Twitter and called on others to join her. GABBARD: “I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party that's under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers, who are driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoking anti-white racism, who actively worked to undermine our God-given freedoms that are enshrined in our Constitution, who are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, who demonize the police, but protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, who believe in open borders, who weaponize the national security state to go after their political opponents.” Remarkably, 8.3 million people have viewed her video. Perhaps her exit from the Democrat Party will inspire Democrats, who share her sense of abandonment, to leave the Democrat Party in advance of the mid-term election. Biden's FBI targets pro-life Christians Speaking of weaponizing the national security state, as Gabbard did, the FBI and Department of Justice continue to hunt down Christian pro-life activists.  Last Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced charges against eleven people in connection with a peaceful protest outside an abortion mill in Tennessee last year. This comes within weeks of the FBI arresting pro-life activist Mark Houck at his home in Pennsylvania. One of the recently arrested Christians was Paul Vaughn who is married with 11 children. Vaughn told the Daily Signal that FBI agents raided his home in Tennessee last week with “guns pointed at the door, banging on the house, yelling and screaming, ‘Open up. FBI.'” Appearing on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, Vaughn compared the arrest to the persecution the church has often received from tyrants. VAUGHN: “As a Christian family, we do a lot of studying about historic Christianity and missionaries in the past and persecution that has happened in the church. So, they're familiar with stories. They know there are people who've been martyred throughout history. They know they've been persecuted and, and picked on by bully tyrants in other parts of history just like they are being in America today.” What's especially galling about Paul Vaughn's case is that he wasn't even arrested for trespassing on the day of the protest in front of the abortion mill. Matthew 5:10 says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Study: 70% of pastors say giving at or exceeded budget And finally, Lifeway Research released a new survey on how the economy is affecting churches. Fifty-two percent of U.S. Protestant pastors say the current economy is having a negative impact on their churches. Nevertheless, 70% of pastors say giving at their church this year is at or exceeding their budget. Although smaller congregations recovered to pre-pandemic attendance levels more quickly, they are more likely to report financial struggles in the face of rising prices.
