It's Tuesday, July 2nd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes and heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus Namibia, Africa decriminalizes homosexual behavior Last week, the high court of the Southern African nation of Namibia struck down a colonial law banning homosexual behavior in the country. Last year, the same court legitimized homosexual faux marriage for a bi-national couple. Homosexual behavior is criminalized in 30 African countries, and allowed in 24 countries now. Supreme Court: Trump has limited immunity from prosecution The U.S. Supreme Court ruled yesterday in favor of the former President, in relation to his post-election activities on January 6th, 2021, reports LifeSiteNews.com. By a vote of 6 to 3, the high court granted Donald Trump immunity for official acts taken in his role as president of the United States. The majority on the court agreed with Trump's appeal. The decision, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, concluded that: “The President is not above the law. But under our system of separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts.” What remains to be answered is which actions taken after the 2020 election by the president were official and which were unofficial. This question is remanded to the lower courts. House Speaker Mike Johnson called the decision “a victory for former President Trump.” And the Biden campaign said the decision has handed Trump "the keys to a dictatorship," reports the New York Post. Supreme Court deals blow to regulation stranglehold In other Supreme Court news, the high court has rendered the regulatory bureaucracy a serious setback in the United States. Friday's decision overturned the 1984 decision Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council Inc., — which to this point had allowed federal bureaucracies extensive latitude for interpreting law and implementing regulations. Poll: Donald – 44%, Biden – 41% The latest Non-Partisan Patriot Polling puts Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden in the presidential race, 44% to 41%. The current president's rating has also dropped off from 33% to 29%. And 76% of prospective voters polled say Donald Trump won last Thursday's debate. Colonel Macgregor: Biden's cognitive decline means US gov't is in "unelected hands" Speaking of that debate, Retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor has said that “the governing power” of the U.S. lies “in unelected hands” after the first presidential debate highlighting President Joe Biden's cognitive decline to the whole world, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In a 5-minute video message published on the YouTube channel Our Country Our Choice, Col. MacGregor expressed his profound concern for the United States after Biden's catastrophic performance. Listen. MacGREGOR: “President Biden is not fit to discharge the immense duties of the presidency. The alarming evidence of his cognitive decline was on display for all to witness. Yet his enablers and political allies continue to exploit the president to substitute their destructive agenda for the interests of the American people. “The unconscionable betrayal of the sacred trust that must exist between the federal government and American citizens is all around us. Destructive executive orders and policy directives, many of which were likely signed when President Biden was in a rapidly diminished state of mind, inflicting tremendous damage on our nation. “Sadly, President Biden's fragile mental state was laid bare for all to see in last night's debate. His responses were frequently incoherent, he appeared lost even confused, struggling to complete basic thoughts. It was heartbreaking, a spectacle that confirmed our worst fears about his deteriorating capacity.” Col. MacGregor questioned the legitimacy of Biden's executive orders in light of his demonstrable mental incapacity. MacGREGOR: “No individual whose mental health is compromised, should be allowed to continue in the most demanding job on Earth. Americans, we find ourselves at a critical juncture in our nation's journey. In the private sector or in matters of estate planning, the validity of signatures made under such circumstances would be challenged and invalidated in a court of law. “How can we accept crucial national decisions being made under these conditions? The American people deserve better. It is time to ask, ‘Who truly governs this country?' Is it ‘we the people,' as our Founders intended, or have we surrendered control to unelected bureaucrats?” Trump ally Steve Bannon went to jail yesterday Longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon was taken into custody yesterday after surrendering at a federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut. He began his four-month prison sentence on contempt charges for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the events on January 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol, reports the Associated Press. Speaking to reporters, Bannon called himself a “political prisoner.” BANNON: “I'm a political prisoner of Nancy Pelosi. I'm a political prisoner of Merrick Garland. I'm a political prisoner of Joe Biden, the corrupt Biden establishment. “You saw on Thursday, all the lies that they told any group that would sit there and lie to you about the shape of the President of the United States, with the national security element of that, lied about the 2020 election. They've lied about COVID. They've lied about everything that they've done to the American people and they're not going to stop. Until we stop them, they're not going to stop.” Court injunction allows Good News Clubs into Hawaiian schools Here's some good news for the Good News Clubs sponsored by Child Evangelism Fellowship! Since 2022, Hawaii's Department of Education had denied every single request for access Hawaii's primary schools by the Christian Good News Clubs. Liberty Counsel has obtained a court injunction to open access to the Good News clubs in Hawaii, and provide “timely responses to future applications.” In Mark 16:15, Jesus said, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the Good News to every creature.” Criminal illegal immigrants entry to America has quadrupled Criminals entering the borders of the United States have quadrupled since 2019 — in just five years. These are people that had already been convicted of one or more crimes prior to entering America. The official Customs and Border Protection numbers clocked 4,300 arrests in 2019. By contrast, this year that number is approaching 17,000 or an average of 1,459 per month. Banks welcome gold back as a hedge in an uncertain economy Interest in gold as a safe hedge is back, at least for the world banks. For fifty years, between 1960 and 2010, the world banks shed their gold reserves, dropping from 1.23 billion ounces to 960 million ounces. Now, for the last 14 years, the banks have been buying back gold. There is now 1.15 billion ounces of gold representing about 2.7% of the Gross World Product, reports WolfStreet.com. New Mexico's surgical abortions have tripled Since 2020, the number of abortions performed in New Mexico has tripled. Most of that is due to women from Texas seeking abortions across the border. Now, 71% of New Mexican abortions are out-of-state abortions, reports Abortion Free New Mexico. The Word of God is firm on this: “You shall not murder.” (Exodus 20:13) 14 Worldview listeners gave a final $9,600 And finally, between some checks that just arrived in the mail at our P.O. Box and some last minute donations online on Sunday and yesterday, 14 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate to fund our 6-member team for another fiscal year.

On today's program, another person has sued the Assemblies of God and the denomination's college ministry Chi Alpha. The victim, who is blind, claims he was sexually abused by one of the Chi Alpha leaders over the span of five years. We'll have details. Also, Christians are often among the first to give to humanitarian aid nonprofits when a crisis hits—but where does the money go? We talked with some of the biggest ministries, like Samaritan's Purse and World Vision, to find out. And, Compassion International reclassified itself as an association of church with the IRS—meaning they no longer release public form 990s. We'll look deeper into what that means. But first, a legal victory for Child Evangelism Fellowship after their Good News Clubs were kicked out of public schools in Providence, Rhode Island last year.

The children of active duty U.S. service members need to hear the gospel message as much as their parents do, and that's where the work of the Child Evangelism Fellowship comes into play. Andy Bunn serves as the organization's Director of Military Children's Ministry, which works to plant “Good News Clubs” on military bases nationwide. They provide weekly activities for kids in addition to special clubs for holidays like Christmas or “5-Day Club,” which is like Vacation Bible School. Andy says what the ministry needs the most to continue to expand its reach is to acquire people who have a desire to see children presented with the good news of the gospel and are willing to commit to helping the program run smoothly. TAKEAWAYS CEF helps children of active duty service members experience a smoother relocation experience because of the welcoming clubs Kids tend to be generally more receptive and excited about hearing the gospel message than adults Luke 10:2 is CEF's mission that guides their approach to expanding their ministry with hopes of acquiring three more clubs by December Most of CEF's ministry is done in an after school setting on base

There are just over 8 billion people on earth and according to World Population Review, an estimated 2 billion of those are children between the ages of 0-14. This means it's critical that children be reached with the Gospel message. One such group that's focusing on this demographic is Child Evangelism Fellowship. Through their Good News Clubs and other outreach efforts, they have a vision of reaching every child, every nation, every day. --Moises Esteves is Executive Vice President of Child Evangelism Fellowship. He was born and raised in Portugal, was saved at the age of 9, and at the age of 17 felt God's call into vocation ministry.--In 2001, the Supreme Court decided by a 6-3 vote, in favor of Child Evangelism Fellowship in the case of Good News Clubs v. Milford Central School. The court said it was constitutional for CEF to hold Good News Clubs in public schools after the last bell rings and that they could not be discriminated against because of their religious content. --Each child must have a parental permission slip in order to attend. The gatherings run for an hour to an hour and 15 minutes after the school day has ended. During this time children are taught a Bible lesson, they sing songs, there are games, and sometimes there's a missionary story.--In the past year in the U.S., CEF ministered to 102,000 children, although they're still rebuilding post-COVID. That's about 2,600 clubs in the public schools with an additional 1,000 clubs in other locations.--On this broadcast you'll hear about- ---- The importance of local church partnership with CEF.-- The 4-14 window. - -...and much more-

Many times on Crosstalk we've described how children are being targeted in our secular culture. Included in that are those influences that are seeking to lure children away from biblical morality, questioning right vs. wrong or even trying to alienate children away from their parents. Then there's the direct indoctrination into aberrant lifestyles with the intent of normalizing that which is abnormal.--In other words, so many children are simply headed in the wrong direction and need to be reached for Jesus.

Many times on Crosstalk we've described how children are being targeted in our secular culture. Included in that are those influences that are seeking to lure children away from biblical morality, questioning right vs. wrong or even trying to alienate children away from their parents. Then there's the direct indoctrination into aberrant lifestyles with the intent of normalizing that which is abnormal.--In other words, so many children are simply headed in the wrong direction and need to be reached for Jesus.

There's been so much emphasis from psychologists on self-image, that it can make you worry whether any little thing you do will scar a child's self-image for the rest of her life. You may even feel pressure to de-emphasize the child's sin nature. One time a journalist who was writing an article about Good News Clubs in public schools asked me, “Don't you people teach children they're sinners and make them feel bad about themselves?” Today's episode helps with answers about godly self-esteem.

We will never forget the date 9/11/01. Some of us also have the date 6/11/01 etched in our memories forever, because it opened up USA public school buildings to the Gospel.

Nancy Thomason loves kids. And she will go wherever they are to tell them the Good News of Jesus. Nancy worked with Child Evangelism Fellowship for 47 years and she loves talking about what God did through those years because the "searchlight is on God." At 84, Nancy's smile hasn't dimmed nor has her open heart and home for everyone who needs to know that God loved them enough to die for them. Nancy with the Director of Child Evangelism Fellowship at their conference. If you want to serve God and you love kids, hosting a Good News Club may be the very best way to get started. Contact Child Evangelism Fellowship in your area to find out more. I loved hearing Nancy's stories of faith and trust in God as He led her to begin Good News Clubs in her neighborhood, then to Whittier, the San Fernando Valley and South Central LA. She made sure she was ready with a flannel graph story in the trunk of her car and a welcoming smile on her face. Some Nancy-ism's: "If we are unplugged from God, where will we get our power?" "When God tells you to go, you know He's got you in His hand." "If you don't come to the edge of the cliff and jump, you'll never know that God can hold you." "You don't have an adventure with God without obstacles because that's when God shows up." Nancy's Acorn Squash Poke some holes in the top of squash Cook in microwave for 10 minutes. Voila!

The Satanic Temple has gathered a lot of media attention and Christian protest for various activities which provide an opportunity for Christians to reflect on the meaning of religious freedom, including that for religious minorities and those who make them feel uncomfortable. In this podcast I talk to Lucien Greaves, the co-founder and spokesperson for The Satanic Temple, about their After School Satan Clubs: what they are, how they relate to various Good News Clubs on school campuses, and how this relates to religious freedom and the public square.

Quieren instalarse en ciertas escuelas públicas de EEUU como actividades extracurriculares opcional, fuera del horario de clases. No es un culto de satanismo. Se concentrarán en la búsqueda del conocimiento y el racionalismo. Están destinados a mostrar la incoherencia del sistema donde algunos grupos cristianos aprovechan fundos estatales y estructuras estatales para propagar su fe. Surgió en contrapartida del Good News Clubs, en el que se concentran en el adoctrinamiento.
Point of Inquiry, the flagship podcast for the Center for Inquiry, presents a special episode recorded before a live audience at the 2013 CFI Summit in Tacoma, Washington, with new co-host Lindsay Beyerstein. The fundamentalist, Christian right's influence and impact on our schools and the educating of our children is the subject of the new book The Good News Club: The Christian Right's Stealth Assault on America's Children. Its author, Katherine Stewart, is our guest on this edition of Point of Inquiry, available in both video and audio editions. Stewart has publiched two novels about 21st Century parenting, worked in investigative journalism, written freelance for such publications as Newsweek International, Rolling Stone, The New York Observer, The New York Times, The Guardian, The Daily Beast, Bloomberg View, and Religion Dispatches. What are these "Good News Clubs" and what is their influence on schools across the nation?Evolution and sex education are just two of the avenues these religious organizations are using to inject their brand of far-right Christianity (and Judaism and Scientology, surprisingly) into our public schools. Next week we'll bring you another episode of Point of Inquiry, as co-host, Josh Zeps interviews Bill Nye, The Science Guy.
In her shocking new book, The Good News Club: The Christian Right’s Stealth Assault on America’s Children (Public Affairs, 2012), Katherine Stewart describes how factions of the Christian Right, through groups such as the Good News Club, are seeking to indoctrinate children in public schools with their brand of fundamentalism. When a Good News Club came to a public school in her community, Stewart decided to investigate. The Club, under the umbrella of the Child Evangelism Fellowship, manages to find loopholes in state/church separation and find their way into public schools under the guise of being a non-denominational Bible studies program. Once there, they seek to build roots in order to reach as many children as possible. In her research, Stewart visited communities all over the United States where Good News Clubs had been present, and found that they had caused nothing but strife and divisiveness among kids, teachers and parents. She also followed the missionaries of the Good News Club on their training sessions and found that far from promoting a non-denominational view of the Bible, their real mission was to get kids “saved” (meaning converting kids to their brand of fundamentalism). She also discovered that the club promoted and pushed peer-to-peer proselytizing, usually targeting very small children. Most shocking of all, she found that beyond wanting to grow their church, the Club’s ultimate goal was the erosion of the public secular school system altogether. This eye-opening book urges us to wake up and pay attention to what is happening in America’s public schools. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
