You picked up your phone 186 times yesterday. That's not a discipline problem, it's a hunger problem. This week we trace the ache behind the scroll back to Augustine and forward to the empty tomb, and land on the strange freedom of a faith that doesn't need you to fix yourself first. When you scroll, you're looking for something real. The compulsion isn't random, and it's not just weak willpower. It's a hunger for heaven, misdirected. Samuel James calls the internet an "epistemological habitat" — not a tool you use but an environment that shapes what you crave, what you notice, and what you believe is true. And it's designed by teams of behavioral psychologists who know your patterns better than you do. We walk through the five digital liturgies that form us online, the structural forces stacked against you (and why shame is the wrong frame), and then what Jesus actually offers when you're starving for something real. If you've ever felt trapped by your phone and blamed yourself for not trying harder, this one's for you.

Grace is the foundation of the Christian life, yet it is easy to drift from it into busyness and performance. In Revelation 3, Jesus speaks to the church at Philadelphia about an open door that no one can close, and the greatest door God has ever opened is the door of grace. Just as John Newton, the author of Amazing Grace, was transformed from a slave trader into a pastor, grace meets us in our worst moments and makes us whole. When we stay connected to that grace, it naturally overflows into every relationship and area of life. We forgive because we have been forgiven. We love unconditionally because God has loved us unconditionally. A transformational church never gets over the grace that saved it, and it never keeps that grace to itself. God opened the door. Now let grace flow through you.  

"Authentic Narrative of Some Remarkable and Interesting Particulars in the Life of John Newton" offers a profound glimpse into the early life of John Newton, who is best known for his hymn "Amazing Grace" and his transformation from a slave trader to a vocal opponent of the slave trade. Through a series of 14 short letters, Newton reflects on his tumultuous past and his journey of faith, providing insight into his experiences as a servant under an enslaver and his self-described life as "an infidel and libertine." Published in 1764, this collection resonates today as it highlights themes of redemption, moral awakening, and the struggle against injustice, making it a timeless exploration of personal transformation and the power of faith.

This is a great story of how people can change and how the story of John Newton and how the song "Amazing Grace" came to be.   God bless you, Jerry Stewart

The Strength That Isn't Ours #Nightlight #RTTBROSActs 9:20-22 (KJV)And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. When I look at this passage from Acts, I see a story that always makes me stop and think. It's the story of Saul. Now, Saul wasn't exactly a "good guy" in the eyes of the early church. He was a man of great zeal, but it was a zeal directed against the very thing God was trying to do. He was a persecutor. He was a man who thought he knew the way, and he was ready to bring the believers bound to the chief priests.But then, the road to Damascus. That's where the story pivots.We see in Acts 9:20-22 that after Saul met Christ, he didn't just get a little bit better; he was changed. He became "more in strength," and he went from being a persecutor to being a powerful preacher.Now, I know what some of you might be thinking. "Gene, I'm not Saul. I'm not a persecutor. I'm just trying to get through Tuesday." And that's alright. But the principle here isn't about being a saint overnight. It's about the source of the strength.We often try to build our own strength. We try to "hustle" our way to a better life, or we try to "will" ourselves into being more patient, or more loving, or more effective. We rely on our own grit. But the Bible tells us that the strength that truly lasts, the strength that changes a life from the inside out, comes from God.Look at John Newton. He went from a slave trader to a preacher. He didn't just try to be different; he was made different. He said, "By the grace of God I am what I am."That's the secret, isn't it? We are not saved for our own benefit, though we certainly benefit. We are saved to be part of God's work. And the same God who saves us, He equips and empowers us.So, what does "extra strength" look like in our daily lives? It looks like admitting you can't do it alone. It looks like saying, "Lord, I need Your power right now." It looks like trusting that the same power that transformed Saul on the road to Damascus is available to you today, whether you're facing a difficult conversation, a tough day at work, or just the temptation to give up on prayer.Don't try to be strong in your own might. Lean into His.Today's Growth Principle: God powerfully transforms the lives of everyone who trusts Him for salvation.May the Lord grant you the strength that is not yours, but His. Amen.

Send us Fan MailJohn Newton once said, “God sometimes does His work with gentle drizzle, not storms.”  The "Amazing Grace" that Newton wrote about in his famous hymn didn't hit him like a storm. John Newton's transformation was a drizzle. Throughout his 82-year life, John Newton went from a biblically-schooled child, to a rambunctious and incorrigible teenager, to a depraved sailor; to an outcast; to a slave-trading sea captain, to a surveyor, before becoming the beloved pastor and prolific hymn writer we all know him as.  Join us as we delve into the many dangers, toils and snares that John Newton found himself in, and how the grace of God led him safely through them all. Thanks for tuning in!

Homilía basada en el himno Amazing Grace y en la historia de John Newton, mostrando cómo la gracia de Dios salva a un hombre en medio del naufragio y lo conduce a reconocer que es un gran pecador y que Jesucristo es un gran salvador.Se relata la vida de Newton, quien creció sin su madre, llevó una vida desordenada y llegó a participar en la esclavitud, transportando y vendiendo personas. Después de sufrir un naufragio, experimentó la salvación de Dios, dejó el mar y se hizo pastor protestante.También se destaca su trabajo posterior contra la esclavitud en Inglaterra. Desde su experiencia, comenzó a denunciar el maltrato y la deshumanización que producía, hasta que la esclavitud fue abolida poco antes de su muerte.A partir de la lectura de Romanos 8,21, se desarrolla el tema de la libertad de los hijos de Dios. Se afirma que no debemos identificarnos con las circunstancias, sino reconocer que la respuesta depende de cada persona, aun en medio de dificultades, presión social o sufrimiento.Se mencionan ejemplos de Viktor Frankl, Juan Pablo II y Albert Camus para explicar que la libertad consiste en la respuesta interior, en hacer lo que se debe y en asumir responsabilidades. Finalmente, se presenta a Jesús como el hombre plenamente libre, que no cedió ante la presión ni la violencia, y que libera al ser humano para vivir en la libertad del Espíritu.

What does it actually mean that grace is amazing? Most people have heard the word their whole lives — but according to Ephesians 2, you can't feel the weight of it until you're honest about what it's covering.In week 3 of our summer series through Ephesians, Pastor Mike unpacks one of the most important passages in the Bible — Ephesians 2:1-10 — starting with what Paul says we actually deserve, and ending with what God gives anyway. Along the way, he traces the story of John Newton, the slave trader turned pastor who wrote "Amazing Grace" because he knew exactly how wide the gap was between who he was and what he received.Whether you grew up in church or you're not sure what you believe, this message asks a simple question: when someone asks if you're going to heaven, what does your answer start with?

The phrase “I was blind, but now I see” has become a powerful testimony for so many. It was first spoken by a man, born blind, whom Jesus healed in John 9. When questioned by skeptics, he cut through their theological debates with the simple power of his experience, declaring, “One thing I do know! I was blind, but now I see.” These words were later immortalized in the hymn “Amazing Grace,” written by John Newton, a former slave trader whose life was radically transformed by God. His eyes were opened not only to his own sin but to the saving light of Christ.This journey from blindness to sight is not just about our physical eyes but the spiritual condition of our souls. We can have perfect vision yet be blind to God's love, our purpose, or the injustices around us. The good news is that Jesus is still in the sight saving business. He can break through the fog of confusion, sin, and despair to help us see again. The story of the Apostle Paul's conversion in Acts nine shows us that no one is beyond the reach of God's transformative grace. His journey teaches us that no matter how we start, God can give us a new story.

Comment se rendre réellement compte de ce qu'ont vécu pendant la traite négrière les personnes transformées en esclaves et transportées à travers l'Atlantique pour être vendues à des planteurs ? Un livre d'histoire qui vient d'être traduit en français nous plonge dans la brutalité du quotidien des esclaves. Cet ouvrage est intitulé Le Zorg, du nom d'un navire négrier à bord duquel s'est déroulé un épisode d'une rare cruauté à la fin du 18e siècle. Une tragédie qui, une fois connue, a joué un rôle déterminant dans le combat des abolitionnistes. Pour en parler, nous recevons l'auteur du livre Siddharth Kara, universitaire à Harvard et à Nottingham. RFI : Que s'est-il passé à bord du Zorg à la fin de l'année 1781 ? Siddharth Kara : Le navire s'est égaré. Il a été détourné par des tempêtes et, au cours de son voyage vers la Jamaïque, il a semblé manquer d'eau. L'équipage a dû prendre une décision… et pour réduire la consommation d'eau, cette décision a été de jeter par-dessus bord plus de 130 esclaves africains. Ils ont commencé, par les femmes et les enfants qu'ils ont jetés directement à la mer, il y avait un bébé. Ensuite, ils ont sélectionné les hommes les plus malades, un par un, deux par deux, enchaînés, entravés. Après de longs mois passés dans l'enfer de la cale de ce navire négrier, ils ont été jetés à la mer. L'équipage a agi ainsi parce qu'il craignait de manquer d'eau et de ne pas atteindre la Jamaïque à temps. Cette histoire a été révélée au public parce que les armateurs ont demandé une indemnisation pour ce qu'ils ont décrit, dans un déni total d'humanité, comme une « cargaison perdue ». Pouvez-vous nous expliquer ce qui s'est passé ensuite ? Le marchand d'esclaves, le propriétaire du navire, était cupide, il était attaché à son argent. Plus de la moitié des esclaves du Zorg étaient morts, alors que le taux de mortalité habituel sur un navire négrier britannique était d'environ 15%... Il n'a pas pu accepter cette perte. Or, à l'époque, les navires et leur cargaison étaient assurés pour la traversée de l'Atlantique. Il a donc déposé une demande d'indemnisation, en réclamant une compensation pour la perte de plus de 130 esclaves. L'assureur a refusé, parce qu'il était surpris par ce taux de mortalité aussi élevé. Le marchand aurait pu en rester là, mais la cupidité l'a poussé à engager un procès. Il a gagné : il a été décidé que l'assurance devait indemniser la perte des esclaves assassinés. Mais quelqu'un assistait à l'audience ce jour-là et s'est demandé pourquoi on parlait d'assurance plutôt que de meurtre. Il a écrit une lettre anonyme posant cette question, publiée le lendemain dans les journaux londoniens. Cette lettre a été remarquée par un groupe naissant d'abolitionnistes en Angleterre, qui y ont vu la preuve des horreurs de la traite. Ils se sont réunis, sous la direction de Granville Sharp, une figure fondatrice de l'abolitionnisme anglais, et ont convaincu les assureurs de demander un nouveau procès. Lors de ce second procès, une question fondamentale a été débattue : ces Africains étaient-ils des biens ou des personnes ? Des animaux ou des êtres humains ? Ce débat, porté devant le Lord Chief Justice de l'Empire britannique, a contribué à lancer le premier mouvement abolitionniste. L'une des forces de votre travail réside dans la précision avec laquelle vous décrivez l'expérience vécue par les personnes capturées et vendues comme esclaves. L'horreur de l'esclavage est démultipliée par des violences constantes : les coups de fouet, les viols, la vie dans la puanteur des excréments, l'enfermement dans les cales. Pouvez-vous donner quelques exemples tirés de votre livre ? Nous savons ce qu'est l'esclavage, nous en connaissons l'existence, mais nous ne plongeons jamais dans l'horreur brute de la traversée forcée des Africains à travers l'Atlantique. À bord des navires, de nombreux instruments de torture étaient utilisés pour maintenir le contrôle. Les violences sexuelles contre les femmes et les enfants étaient constantes. Un ancien capitaine négrier devenu abolitionniste, John Newton, racontait qu'il voyait ses marins assouvir leurs pulsions sur des fillettes de neuf ou dix ans. Dans les cales, les captifs étaient enchaînés, contraints de vivre dans leurs excréments et leur urine, avec à peine quelques seaux inaccessibles. Tous contractaient la dysenterie. Imaginez le mal de mer, les vomissements continus, sans même pouvoir s'asseoir. Ils étaient entassés comme des livres sur une étagère, dans la chaleur, la putréfaction et les immondices. Voilà pourquoi les taux de mortalité étaient si élevés. La puissance des intérêts financiers liés à la traite apparaît clairement dans votre livre. On a l'impression que la traite occupait une place majeure dans l'économie britannique à la fin du 18e siècle. Absolument. Prenons un indicateur : en 1775, juste avant la guerre d'indépendance américaine, les exportations de sucre de la Jamaïque vers l'Angleterre étaient cinq fois supérieures à l'ensemble des exportations des treize colonies américaines réunies. Le sucre était la ressource stratégique de l'époque, produite grâce au travail forcé des esclaves. Comment évaluez-vous la manière dont le monde traite aujourd'hui la mémoire de l'esclavage ? Existe-t-il une conscience globale de ce que cela a représenté, ou observe-t-on encore des formes de déni ? Nous restons encore à la surface de notre reconnaissance de ce qui s'est passé durant ces 350 années, cette tâche sur la conscience humaine. Il existe encore un certain déni quant à l'ampleur et à la gravité des faits. J'espère que l'histoire du Zorg contribuera à une compréhension plus complète, car on ne peut envisager de réparer cette période sans en mesurer pleinement la violence et l'ampleur. Et nous n'y sommes pas encore. Le 25 mars dernier, le Ghana a conduit l'Assemblée générale de l'ONU à qualifier la traite négrière de crime le plus grave contre l'humanité. Cette qualification vous paraît-elle justifiée et utile ? Absolument. Elle est justifiée. Césaire a déclaré que l'Europe se tient devant la communauté mondiale, responsable du plus grand amas de cadavres de l'histoire humaine. Et il parlait de la traite négrière. Des millions de personnes ont été torturées, violentées et tuées, et des millions d'autres condamnées à une vie de travail forcé. La culture du sucre était l'une des formes de travail les plus dures et violentes. C'est l'un des crimes les plus graves en raison de son ampleur, de sa durée — plus de trois siècles et demi — et de ses conséquences encore visibles aujourd'hui en Afrique. Il doit y avoir une forme de réparation entre les pays du Nord et les pays africains. Le Zorg, de Siddharth Kara, un ouvrage publié aux éditions Paulsen, 304 pages, 2026.

“The Fruit of the Spirit, Part 4” - a final lesson on the last 3 characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit - faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control - as supernatural evidence of genuine salvation, produced not by human effort but by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

In this powerful message from Acts 15, Pastor Jeremy Schell explores one of the most important questions in Christianity: What actually saves us? Through the story of the Jerusalem Council, the early church wrestles with whether salvation comes through religious works or through the grace of Jesus Christ alone. Using the remarkable story of John Newton, the former slave ship captain who wrote Amazing Grace, Pastor Jeremy reveals how God's grace transforms lives, removes shame, and unites people under the gospel.

Romans 7 A New Relationship (vv. 1-6) Law - Religion = have to - performance Christ - Relationship = want to- transformance A New Reality (vv. 7-12) The law requires perfection I am still not perfect A New Rivalry (vv. 13-25) Personal contradiction Internal conflict Eventual conclusion More to Consider A real Christian is an odd number, anyway. He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen; talks familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see; expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another; empties himself in order to be full; admits he is wrong so he can be declared right; goes down in order to get up; is strongest when he is weakest; richest when he is poorest and happiest when he feels the worst. He dies so he can live; forsakes in order to have; gives away so he can keep; sees the invisible, hears the inaudible, and knows that which passeth knowledge. True spirituality manifests itself in certain dominant desires. First is the desire to be holy rather than happy. A man may be considered spiritual when he wants to see the honor of God advanced through his life even if it means that he himself must suffer temporary dishonor or loss. The spiritual man wants to carry his cross. Again, a Christian is spiritual when he sees everything from God's viewpoint. Another desire of the spiritual man is to die right rather than to live wrong. The desire to see others advance at his expense. The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. A.W Tozer I am not what I might be, I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I wish to be, I am not what I hope to be. But I thank God I am not what I once was, and I can say with the great apostle, "By the grace of God I am what I am. John Newton.

Once a self-proclaimed “wretch,” John Newton's conversion led him to become a renowned preacher, abolitionist, evangelical author, and composer of hymns such as “Amazing Grace.” Join John Bradshaw on location in England for the second episode of “Men of Faith” and learn how to respond to God's grace today and receive a new heart and hope for the future.

La esclavitud fue una institución milenaria y universal. Existió en todas las civilizaciones a lo largo y ancho del mundo. Da igual donde y cuando miremos. La encontramos en Sumeria, en la antigua Roma, en el islam y en los imperios prehispánicos de América. Nadie la cuestionaba y parecía que iba a existir siempre. Pero entre finales del siglo XVIII y finales del XIX esa estructura se desmoronó. Las raíces del movimiento abolicionista se encuentran en el cristianismo, que aceptó la esclavitud, pero no entre cristianos. En la Edad Media la esclavitud se redujo mucho en Europa occidental, pero resurgió con fuerza tras la llegada de los portugueses al golfo de Guinea y de los españoles al continente americano. Isabel la Católica prohibió esclavizar a los indígenas, pero no a los africanos, lo que permitió que los españoles primero y luego las potencias europeas con intereses en América empezasen a llevar esclavos desde África dando origen a la trata atlántica. El abolicionismo en América surgió entre entre los cuáqueros. En el siglo XVIII se sumaron predicadores como John Newton, autor de Amazing Grace, y filósofos ilustrados como Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Voltaire y Kant, que ofrecieron a la causa de la abolición un fundamento racional y secular. El Reino Unido, curiosamente la mayor potencia esclavista de la época, fue quien más esfuerzos hizo por acabar con la esclavitud. El caso Somerset de 1772 liberó a los esclavos en suelo inglés. Años más tarde la Sociedad para la Abolición, fundada en 1787, creo la campaña política moderna con panfletos, medallones, boicots y peticiones al parlamento. Crearon también un nuevo género, el de los testimonios de antiguos esclavos. Algunos como los de Olaudah Equiano, Quobna Cugoano, Ignatius Sancho y Mary Prince conmovieron a la opinión pública y fueron de vital importancia para influir sobre la agenda legislativa. En el Parlamento un diputado llamado William Wilberforce fue quien se encargó de dar la batalla durante casi 20 años hasta lograr la prohibición de la trata en 1807. La Royal Navy comenzó a patrullar las costas africanas para capturar a los barcos negreros. La diplomacia británica, entretanto, presionaba a las potencias coloniales para que ilegalizasen la compra de esclavos. En 1833 el parlamento aprobó la Slavery Abolition Act que liberó a los 800.000 esclavos del imperio. Los dueños fueron indemnizados con una suma tan elevada que el Gobierno británico tuvo que pedir el dinero prestado. Francia abolió definitivamente la esclavitud en 1848, los Países Bajos en 1863, Portugal en 1869. Estados Unidos resolvió la cuestión en el campo de batalla con una una guerra civil que alumbró la Decimotercera Enmienda de 1865. En España la abolición llegó primero a Puerto Rico en 1873 y luego a Cuba en 1886, tras el sistema transitorio del patronato. Brasil hizo lo propio en 1888, pero aquello costó el trono a los Braganza. El proceso coincidió con la revolución industrial, pero las plantaciones en las Antillas eran rentables. Había algo más que empujó esta idea, el convencimiento íntimo de aquellos europeos de que la esclavitud era incompatible con la dignidad humana. Eso persuadió a las mismas sociedades que se beneficiaban de ella para que renunciaran voluntariamente a una institución milenaria en apenas cinco generaciones.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 11th of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Deuteronomy 4:24: “For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.” Then we go to the New Testament, to the Book of Matthew 22:37: “Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' ” This is straightforward, and it is very serious. The Lord says, “There is no other God but Me.” We cannot serve any other god and expect to serve the Lord Jesus Christ as well. I want to say something very seriously this morning. We must never tease God. Do you know what I mean? I mean if you get a young man and a young lady and they go out, and the young lady thinks that if she teases her boyfriend, then he will love her more, or even more seriously, a husband and wife - if the husband starts to look around and play the fool with another woman and then think that his wife will love him more, it actually works in the opposite. It puts a wedge and a division of mistrust in their relationship.Now, the same thing applies with the Lord. The Lord says, “There will be no other gods but Me.” And we need to understand that. I want to ask you a question. Is there any other god that you know of who has died for his people? No, there is no other god, only Jesus Christ who came to earth, He died for our sins that we might be saved. Now, the least we can do is put Him as the most important Person in our lives.I want to tell you, as I am getting older, each day I love Him more intensely. When I think of what He has done for a wretched soul like me. That is why John Newton could write that wonderful hymn, Amazing Grace: “I once was lost but now I am found, was blind but now I see.” Today, understand one thing. There is no second, third or fourth god in your life. It has to be Jesus Christ, Him, first and foremost, and then secondly, your loved one, your wife, your husband, your child, but Jesus first.God bless you as you put Him first in your life today.Goodbye

This weekend our worship service emphasizes one of the blessings of Christ's resurrection, the privilege and power of prayer. Our hymn, "Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat" is a hymn by John Newton about prayer.  Jesus invites us: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)  In our lives in this fallen world we are going to face trials. Our sin, Satan, and thing outside of us and inside of us threaten us, often cause us to despair. David writes: "There is no soundness in my flesh Because of Your anger, Nor any health in my bones Because of my sin. For my iniquities have gone over my head; Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. My wounds are foul and festering Because of my foolishness. I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long." (Psalm 38:4-7) For this reason we come to Jesus knowing what He has done for us! Newton writes: O wondrous Love, to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners such as I Might plead Thy gracious Name! Thanks be to Jesus for all He has done for us through His life and death!

It's Thursday, March 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nepal's new government less likely to feature Hindu nationalists Christians in Nepal are cautiously hopeful after recent elections in the Asian country located north of India and which features the Himalayan Mountains including Mount Everest. Youth-led protests toppled the government last year. The new government is poised to feature less Hindu-nationalist parties. Hindu extremists drive most persecution of Christians in Nepal.  One pastor in the country told International Christian Concern, “The [election] results are unexpected. Though the outcome is confusing, we remain hopeful, especially as there appears to be a decline in the influence of pro-Hindu nationalist parties.”  Franklin Graham preached to 90,000 in Lima, Peru Evangelist Franklin Graham shared the Gospel of Christ with over 90,000 people in Lima, Peru over the weekend.  Listen. GRAHAM: “The Bible says, ‘All we, like sheep, have gone astray. Each has turned to his own way.' But man has a problem. That problem is called sin. “Sin is a barrier. It's a wall between you and God, and sin has to be atoned, and the only way is through the shed blood of Jesus, Christ on the cross. “Without Jesus, you have no hope. You cannot save yourself, only the blood of Jesus. “You have a choice tonight.  Jesus said, ‘I'll never leave you nor forsake you.' Will you come to Him tonight?” Thousands responded to the message during the evangelical event. Peru is a predominantly Catholic country. However, the number of Evangelicals has been growing rapidly in the South American country in recent years.  Chile is first country to eliminate leprosy in the Americas Chile recently became the first country in the Americas to officially eliminate leprosy.  The World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization verified the achievement. Chile has not reported any locally acquired cases of the disease for over 30 years.  The World Health Organization noted, “Leprosy, also known as Hansen disease … primarily affects the skin, peripheral nerves, upper respiratory tract mucosa, and eyes. If untreated, it can lead to permanent nerve damage, disabilities, and social stigma.” U.S. and Ecuador team up to kick drug cartels out The United States and Ecuador launched joint military operations against drug cartels in the South American country last week.  Over a dozen other Latin American countries also plan to cooperate with the U.S. military against drug smuggling operations. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed these countries during the Shield of Americas Summit in Florida on Saturday. Listen.  HEGSETH: “We don't have to live with communities flooded with drugs or violence or cartels and gangs. We can seal our border, and we have to for our citizens. “We share a hemisphere and geography. We share cultures, Western Christian civilization. We share these things together. We have to have the courage to defend it. We have a Commander-in-Chief in our country who's set that compass heading.” New poll: Don't need to believe in God to be moral Pew Research reports fewer people around the world believe it's necessary to believe in God to be moral. A majority of adults in the United States, Canada, and Europe say it's not necessary to believe in God to be moral and have good values. People in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America are much more likely to say belief in God is necessary for morality.  In the U.S., 31% of adults say it's necessary to believe in God to be moral. That's down from 42% in 2014. Wyoming passes Heartbeat bill Wyoming became the latest state to enact a fetal heartbeat law. Republican Governor Mark Gordon signed the Human Heartbeat Act into law on Monday. This makes Wyoming the fifth state to ban abortions on babies at about six weeks of pregnancy.  If a heartbeat is detected, the baby must be protected. Liberty Counsel noted, “The ‘Human Heartbeat Act' bans abortions after a heartbeat can be detected. However, it does include exceptions for medical emergencies when the mother's life is in danger, or her health is at risk of serious impairment. The law does not include exceptions for rape or incest.” John Newton, former slave ship captain, wrote “Amazing Grace” And finally, this week is the anniversary of John Newton's conversion.  Newton was a captain of slave ships in his early life. While at sea, a severe storm brought him to his spiritual senses. This led to his conversion on March 10, 1748. Newton went on to marry, become a pastor, and work to end the slave trade. Newton is well known for his hymns. Each week he would write a hymn to a familiar tune. Of his hundreds of hymns, he is especially remembered for “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken,” “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds!” and “Amazing Grace.” WINTLEY PHIPPS: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now I see.” That was sung by Wintley Phipps. Newton wrote his own epitaph for his tombstone which says, “Once an infidel … was by the rich mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ preserved, restored, pardoned and appointed to preach the faith he had long labored to destroy.” Reminds me of the Apostle Paul. Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.
