As the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan in 2021, many Afghan Christians—especially those widely known to be followers of Christ—had to flee the country. Today, many of those Christians grieve the loss of their homeland, especially as they watch the suffering of their countrymen under Taliban rule. Some desire to return but while they wait are still faithfully reaching Afghans through a variety of digital means. In Part 2 of our conversation with author John Weaver (Part 1), he calls us to pray God will bless Afghan people—including both persecuted Christians and the governing Taliban—and that God will draw many to Himself. Listen as Weaver, the author of Najiba: A Love Story from Afghanistan (affiliate link), shares what life is like for Afghans now under Taliban rule. He will also tell what life is like for those who've fled the country and deal with the culture shock of navigating healthcare, education, work and relationships in a completely new environment and culture. As Christians, John gives us advice on first steps in welcoming Afghans into our communities and churches. Christians in Afghanistan are seeing increased response to the gospel as they discern hearts that are hungry and seeking truth. Once they become followers of Jesus, new Afghan Christians hunger for like-minded fellowship. Pray for the Taliban to lead with peace and focus on what's best for Afghanistan's people. Most importantly, pray for their salvation. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan to know God is with them and for endurance in their faith. Pray for Afghans sharing the gospel through social media as they continue in their ministry. Never miss an episode of VOM Radio! Subscribe to the podcast.

According to tradition, St. Thaddeus and St. Bartholomew evangelized the region of Armenia in the first century. In the year 301, it became the first nation to declare itself Christian. Through centuries of warfare and oppression, its Christian identity has endured as part of Armenian culture, despite repeated attempts by neighbors to stamp it out.  In 1915, the Turkish Ottoman Empire killed an estimated 1.2 million people during what has become known as the Armenian Genocide. Under the pretext that they were insufficiently loyal to the empire, Ottoman authorities shot entire villages, forcibly converted families to Islam, and marched hundreds of thousands of women and children into the Syrian desert to die. The brutal campaign of extermination led to a significant diaspora of Armenians to other countries.   Even after Armenia emerged from Soviet dominance and declared itself an independent republic at the end of the 20th century, peace has remained elusive. Armenia has faced decades of conflict over the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region, where some 100,000 Armenian Christians now live but which Muslim-majority Azerbaijan sees as its territory. In 2020, as the world was preoccupied with the global pandemic, Azerbaijan waged war against Armenia. Seven thousand lives were taken, and the region has remained in the shadow of a fragile ceasefire since.   Today, most Armenians exist in a state of uncertainty. Given their control over the region, it may be that Azerbaijan is poised to commit a second Armenian genocide. According to University Network for Human Rights researcher Thomas Becker,  Over the past decade, Azerbaijani officials have invoked language used in the Rwandan genocide and the Holocaust, referring to Armenians as a “cancer tumor” and a “disease” to be “treated.” More recently, the country's authoritarian leader Ilham Aliyev has threatened to “drive [Armenians] away like dogs.”  The situation seems dire with Russia, Armenia's ostensible security guarantor, bogged down in its own war against Ukraine, and with Iran, Armenia's southern neighbor eager to fill the security vacuum. However, an unexpected recent development is that a significant number of Armenia's diaspora population has been returning to their homeland. After a hundred years of exile and living in places like Russia, France, and the United States, an estimated 50,000 Armenians repatriated prior to 2020, with thousands more joining them every year since.   For some, the motivation to return is economic. For others, it's about standing with fellow Armenians in the face of war. However, for many, the calling is about their faith. As the dean of Armenian Apostolic seminary put it, “We as a nation are called to witness to Jesus Christ in a very difficult region. … Our very existence is a testimony of Christianity.”  Lara Setrakian, an Armenian American journalist, moved back with her family at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. In a recent podcast, she put it this way,   I am doing what I'm called to do … and it is to be a helper like Mr. Rogers would say. It is a catastrophe. There are crises. But I want to be among the helpers. … We're not interested in not being Christian ... For Christians … this country is one big test of faith. And people I see are rising to the occasion. And they are finding strength, and they … have not ever given up. … They haven't given up the cross; they haven't given up their language, their love, their dance. They embody the resilience that we're all looking for.   Another repatriated Armenian mused, “In America, I had a good life: a big house, a good car. But when I say, ‘good life,' I mean something else.”  As so many in the West reel from a crisis of meaning, Armenian Christians have found joy in the face of severe hardship. In that way, we have much to learn from our Armenian brothers and sisters, even as we ask God to bless them, to strengthen their faith, and to bring peace to the nation they are rebuilding.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Kasey Leander.

If we want our culture back, if we want to save souls, we have to talk openly about Satan and what God told us about times such as these. Here is Satan at work in Major League Baseball. In this video you will watch the effective owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers perform a sexualized reenactment of the Lord Jesus Christ dying on the cross for humanity. The group apparently doing that vile, ungodly act is called The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. They had been disinvited the the Los Angeles Dodgers until the Satanic group sat the suits who run the team down and engaged them in a struggle session. Now, the Los Angeles Dodgers will honor these satanists during a baseball game in a stadium built on land stolen by abuse of eminent domain. They are owned. Christian players, coaches and fans have the following choice: Jesus or Major League Baseball. The MLB can get away with this because less than half of Americans are certain God exists and many Christians are not convinced Satan is real. They can get away with it because, unless it's mocking same-sex attracted people or Muslims, the Mockingbird Media will bury it. So, we need to talk about it. Here's Satan at work in Target Stores. Target Partnered With Satan Supporter Who Wants To ‘Eradicate' Critics Of TransgenderismIs this Satan at work in the body of this Nebraska State Senator who is obsessed with mutilating children because she loves them so much? The Senator says she is doing God's Will.

Note to Macheala: God often uses people just like you, but not in the way you seem to imagine. How can this be anything but Satan at work? A woman who co-bosses a committee in King Country, home of the separate Country of Seattle, screams at a colleague for refusing to enthusiastically endorse a child rapist to help decide where and how to house homeless kids. Guess where this man was when he abused kids? What does God's Word say? Matthew 10:4-254 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,'[a] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!' or, ‘There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.Episode 851 Links:Does God exist?

“They insulted me: ‘you're having another boy! When they grow up they become Seleka!'. When I took him for a consultation, I preferred to put a scarf on him and disguise him as a girl. They didn't want to see boys. If they saw them, they threatened to kill them.” In March 2013, the mostly Muslim, anti-government Seleka forces descended on Bangui, the capital of CAR, and overthrew the government of President François Bozizé - killing civilians and looting everything they could lay their hands on. Later, anti-Balaka Christian forces targeted the Muslim population in revenge attacks - and the UN warned of the ethnic cleansing of Bangui. We hear a range of eye-witness accounts of what happened ten years ago – and discuss whether the country is any closer to peace and security.

In God's Image Dr. Richard Ruhling pt 2 Christopher Columbus, who has been traced to have a Jewish heritage, was fleeing Jewish persecution when he arrived in Spain. There has been some tracing of his crew to have almost, not exclusively, but almost a completely Jewish crew! They were fleeing persecution from the Catholic Church at that time. Which resulted in the discovery of the New World and America. Amen! Fast forward a few centuries and we see the Pilgrims fleeing persecution from the King of England. Which resulted in them fleeing to America. They were fleeing for one reason – freedom to worship God in the way they choose. This contradicted the Catholic Church, the authority of the Pope and all of the Catholic church doctrines and teachings… Our guest today is going to discuss these differences and continuing persecution of Christians, and what the true believers should be doing in this day and hour in preparation for the soon return of Jesus. Amen! Dr. Richard Ruhling is back today to share information that a lot of churches refuse to acknowledge, let alone discuss. It may stir up too many fires and they are not prepared for the backlash. But, you know Pastor Bob – I thrive on sharing the TRUTH of the Bible and if I'm stepping on toes, my response is “don't put your toes out where they can get stomped on!” Amen! I know the King James version of the Bible is NOT the best translation of scripture. I also know the Catholic version is very, very different from the Bible which Evangelical Christians read (various translations). Let me see if I understand this correctly… In the beginning, God created everything and then created man. Man is created IN THE IMAGE of God – so man would have all both, the masculine and feminine personalities of God. Then, when God removed Adam's rib and formed Eve, He actually took the Feminine personality from Adam and gave it to Eve.  This would mean that, in order to complete each other, a man and woman must find their “soulmate” that completes them. That would explain the physical man… but what about the Spiritual man? Once we are born again, we have Christ dwelling in us.  Would the next step then be, what has been called, the “infilling of the Holy Spirit?” Would that be the feminine Godhead coming to dwell in us as well? What about the issue of Christ is supposed to “marry” The Holy Spirit at the wedding feast in Heaven? You referenced the May 1948 date where the U.N. “gave” Israel the land. Recently, there was a resolution passed where they said that was a “mistake” and are urging Israel to “give the land back” to the Muslims. Ramadan is still going on during the time of this recording, and Dr. Ruhling thinks after Ramadan is over – we are going to see some big events unfold in Jerusalem and Israel. That means, at the time of the publication of this episode, we could be looking at “end time events” in real time! Dr. Ruhling, this has been so interesting, once again. Amen If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, etc., how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I'll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

There has been an uptick in the number of people converting to Islam recently. This was very noticeable in Ramadan, when it just seemed every day, a young man was becoming Muslim. Imam Ashraf, who leads a congregation in the inner-city London borough of Lewisham, discusses why so many British youngsters are turning to Islam. His Mosque saw over 60 conversions in Ramadan alone. I ask him about the influence of Andrew Tate upon many young men coming to Islam. Imam Ashraf Dabous is an imam at Lewisham Mosque in London. He studied at the Islamic University of Madinah. He also studied privately under various Shuyukh – studying Hanbali and Hanafi Fiqh and other Sciences. And he recently graduated from Goldsmiths University with an MSc in CBT therapy and is a qualified councilor.

Twenty months into the second Taliban rule of Afghanistan, all Afghans—but especially Afghan Christians—face great challenges. What pressures do our persecuted brothers and sisters face living in Afghanistan today, and how has their life changed under the strict Islamic rule of the Taliban? Listen as John Weaver, author of Inside Afghanistan, A Flame on the Frontline, and Najiba: A Love Story from Afghanistan (affiliate links), explains what life is like for Muslims and Christians in Afghanistan as they experience economic crisis and lack of assistance from the outside world. Many of the Taliban fighters come from the Pashtun people group, one of the largest unreached people groups in the world with 50 million people primarily in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Persecution against Afghan Christians has always come from local mosques, communities, and families. With the Taliban takeover, the nation's government is now also openly opposed to the gospel. Amid isolation and economic hardship, many Afghans are desperate and dissatisfied with Islam. That dissatisfaction means they are more open to the gospel. Christian brothers and sisters in Afghanistan continue boldly witness in conversations with Muslims. Listen as John tells how Christians are carefully sharing the gospel and finding “people of peace” in their communities. Pray for Afghan Christians outside the country who are reaching their people through digital tools and pray for wider distribution of the Pashtun Bible. Pray the Holy Spirit will draw more Afghan people to become followers of Jesus Christ. Never miss an episode of VOM Radio!

In Britain, the growth of Islam is being driven by a younger population, born and brought up in the United Kingdom. This includes BBC reporter Rahil Sheikh. Having grown up against the backdrop of the ‘war on terror' and rising Islamophobia, he has seen how young Muslims have turned to social media to forge online safe spaces where they can connect, celebrate and discuss their faith. Young Muslims say these social media stars explain the faith in a more relatable way than the imams or spiritual leaders they may encounter in the mosque. But in recent years, Rahil has noticed that some of these male Muslim influencers have been using Islam to advocate alpha masculinity as a way of combating liberalism and feminism. Critics – including some Muslim women - argue this is a misguided interpretation of the faith.

Imam Khalid Latif is a University Chaplain for New York University, and Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU (ICNYU). Under his leadership, ICNYU became the first ever established Muslim student center at an institution of higher education in the United States. Imam Latif's exceptional dedication and ability to cross interfaith and cultural lines on a daily basis brought him recognition throughout New York City, so much so that in 2007, Mayor Michael Bloomberg nominated Imam Latif to become the youngest chaplain in history of the New York City Police Department at the age of 24. Most recently, Imam Latif was selected as one of 60 New York City leaders to serve on Mayor Bill de Blasio's transition team, helping to recommend and select individuals for key roles in the current NYC administration and was also appointed to a “Task Force to Combat Hate” by NYC Public Advocate Letitia James to deal with the rise in Islamophobic, antisemitic, and anti-Sikh sentiment in NYC. Support the Islamic Center at NYUOur operating and programmatic budget comes directly from donations and as our community grows, so do our expenses.

Urdu Friday Sermon delivered by Khalifa-tul-Masih on May 19th, 2023 (audio)

It's Friday, May 19th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims killed 42 Christians in 11 villages Nigerian Muslim gunmen, wielding AK-47s and machetes, killed 42 Christians and burned dozens of houses near Mangu in Nigeria's Plateau State, reports International Christian Concern. The attackers – suspected to be Fulani Muslim militants – raided at least 11 villages from midnight to dawn early Tuesday, May 16th in Nigeria's north-central region about 55 miles from the capital, Jos. Plateau State Governor-elect Caleb Mutfwang condemned the Fulani militants and called on the federal government to do more to help secure the state.  He described the attacks as “ethnic cleansing.” Radical Islamic Fulani militias have targeted the mostly Christian farming communities. More than 50,000 Christians have been killed and millions displaced over the past 20 years. Revelation 6:9-10 says, “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, ‘How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitants of the Earth and avenge our blood?'” Canadian teen arrested for handing out Bibles on public sidewalk On May 17th, Canadian law enforcement officers in Alberta, Canada arrested 16-year-old Josh Alexander for handing out Bibles on a public sidewalk after an altercation broke out between him, his supporters, and a group of pro-transgender hecklers, reports Faithwire.com. In a tweet that has been read by 3.4 million people, he wrote that he “was handcuffed and put in a paddy wagon for offering students Bibles on a public sidewalk in Calgary.  I was released and told if I returned I would be arrested and charged. I continued handing out Bibles. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.” What a powerful reference to Paul's declaration in Romans 1:16. He said, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” In a follow-up tweet, Alexander wrote, “I will not yield to the pressure of the woke mob or corrupt state. We will continue to spread the truth in love.” Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada, condemned law enforcement officers for their apparent double standard. He tweeted, “If you burn a church in this country, the police won't devote any resources to catching you. If you hand out Bibles on the sidewalk, however — or hold a rally to defend fundamental rights in a time of hysteria — you will be arrested and fined immediately. We're a sick society.” Durham Report: FBI, DOJ failed to practice ‘Strict Fidelity to the Law' in Trump-Russia Investigation In his newly-released report, Special Counsel John Durham concludes that the FBI merely failed to practice “strict fidelity to the law” in its launch and handling of the Crossfire Hurricane surveillance and investigation seeking to prove former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia, reports Media Research Center TV. Rather than state outright that FBI and Justice Department operatives broke the law, Durham resorted to a euphemism implying that they simply weren't faithful to the law. DeSantis bans puberty blockers and transgender surgeries for minors On Wednesday, Florida Republican governor and likely presidential candidate Ron DeSantis officially banned mutilating transgender surgeries and drugs for minors as part of a broad legislative package to protect the state's kids from transgender ideology, reports LifeSiteNews.com. DeSANTIS: “You have a movement amongst, I would say, rogue elements of the medical establishment to do things that is basically the mutilation of minors. I mean, they're trying to do sex change operations on minors, giving them things like puberty blockers and doing things that are irreversible to them.” Planned Parenthood immediately started canceling their transgender appointments after the bill was signed as the organization assesses the law's implications. In addition, DeSantis signed bills which: protect students from having to declare their pronouns in school. prohibit classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in Pre-K through 8th protect children from sexually explicit performances, including Drag Queen shows, in all venues. ensure that Florida's bathrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms are safe places for women. DeSantis said, “Florida is proud to lead the way in standing up for our children.  As the world goes mad, Florida represents a refuge of sanity and a citadel of normalcy.” C.S. Lewis' transformation from atheist to Christian captured on film And finally, have you ever heard someone say, “You were born to do this?” It's a proclamation that perfectly applies to award-winning actor Max McLean, reports The Christian Post. McLean was, without a doubt, born to portray C.S. Lewis. Possessing the look, the voice, and even the mannerisms of the legendary literary icon, McLean is brilliant in the Christian film, “The Most Reluctant Convert,” that was recently released on the Pure Flix Streaming platform. The seasoned veteran of many theatrical productions domestically and abroad plays an elder C.S. Lewis. McLean looks back on the Mere Christianity author's remarkable journey from hard-boiled atheist to the most renowned Christian writer of the 20th Century. McLean believes Lewis' contributions to literature and culture transcend and no one literary work defines him. The actor said, “He had an unusual ability to translate what was in his mind into magnificent prose and speech. He's one of the great English writers of all time. He is not just limited to the 20th century. … He wakes up certain parts of your brain that are often dormant.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Friday, May 19th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

WE are not qualified to speak on that. But we give space to everyone to share her story, and if it offends you, then it's probably not for you. If it worries you, it's meant to. If we aren't worrying about these issues as Muslim Americans, then we are doing something wrong.

Mike Aquilina, author of Africa and the Early Church, explains the African roots of much of what we now take for granted in Christianity. His work reminds us of an age when Christianity spread quickly in all directions so that before the Muslim invasions, a fruitful Christianity had taken root in Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Libya, Eritrea, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. …

The woke left is unraveling as a number of Muslim students effectively shouting and shutting down an LGBT pride event in Belgium!   Highlights:  ●      “A very clear message was sent: LGBT activism is not in the least compatible with Islam, as far as these Muslim students were concerned. You could have one, or you could have the other, but you're not going to have both.” ●      “In the midst of this surge in migration, the number one foreign group to relocate to Belgium has been Moroccans, who are overwhelmingly Muslim! 99%!... Now we're beginning to see what happens when the open borders policies of leftwing politicians coincide with their equal commitment to liberal lifestyle values and LGBT activism.” ●      “The more successful liberalism is in achieving its goals, the more rapidly it unravels and implodes in on itself!”    Timestamps:    [01:02] How Muslim students shut down an LGBT event in Belgium [02:30] How Belgium dramatically changed over the last decades with the surge of Muslim populations [06:10] Why the modern left is unraveling - understand cultural Marxism and its radical internal flaws  Resources:  ●      Want free inside stock tips straight from the SEC?

In episode 295, Kestrel welcomes Rayouf Alhumedhi, the creator of the hijab emoji, to the show. Deeply passionate about bridging the creative space and tech, Rayouf founded the hijab emoji project to push for digital representation for Muslim women around the world. She was named one of Time's Most Influential Teens and Forbes 30 under 30; currently, Rayouf is a senior at Stanford majoring in Product Design. “I think there needs to be more thoughtful exploration of when is it good to make new product and when is it even better to rethink existing product? Like I mentioned in my table furniture building project, I noticed my team and I were getting excited about —what if we do this and we do that and we do that. But at the end of the day, all of that requires extra junk in the world. And yes, it's an enhancement and yes, it's an add-on, but it's not necessary at all. So, I wish more design students or more product design students had that framework instilled in their minds as an educational toolkit.” -Rayouf One point that comes up often in the sustainability and fashion dialogue is the way that our intentions are not aligning with our actions. There's this sort of dissonance between what we say vs what we do. As a report by Zalando from 2021 showed, we often say we believe in shopping more mindfully, but often don't actually follow through when it comes to acting upon those ideas. For example –  While 60% of survey respondents said transparency is important to them, only 20% actively seek out information as part of the purchasing process. Or while 60% of consumers say repair, second-hand and sustainable disposal are important to them, but only 23% repair their clothes and 25% regularly buy second-hand. While data can be skewed or interpreted in one way or another, the important sentiment that I take from this sort of information is that changing behavior is CHALLENGING, and it doesn't happen with the flick of a switch.  This is something that this week's guest and I riff on throughout this episode – questioning the reasons why, trying to understand what's leading to this disconnect, specifically analyzing how Gen Z fits into these behaviors, and ideating on what could potentially help propel more positive behavioral change moving forward.  But again – it's not all on the individual. It's also about corporations and regulation and DESIGN – something that this week's guest is very passionate about. As she says, it's important to design for the extremes, to ensure products are created with more accessibility and equity from the get-go.  Sidebar – this week's guest is pretty legendary – she's also the creator of the hijab emoji – which she developed 6 or so years ago, at the age of 16.  Quotes & links from the conversation: Oddli, brand Rayouf mentions  “If being a part of your sustainable company or your sustainability vision is already an added value, buying something feels less of a burden. And if I know my friend is also buying it, naturally, I'm going to be pulled to it.” (21:46) -Rayouf “Teen behind new hijab emoji: ‘I just wanted an emoji of me'”, article in CNN about Rayouf's work on hijab emoji Panel Discussion With Computer History Museum featuring Rayouf  Dr. Marten's Zine that Rayouf contributed to  Rayouf's Website > Follow Rayouf on Instagram >

By the grace of Allah the Exalted, Shaykh Yusuf Weltch embraced Islam in September of 2008 at the hands of his older brother. Shortly after converting, he was afforded an opportunity to go abroad and learn about the principles of inviting others to Allah (da'wah), traveling to the blessed lands of Mecca and Medina, as well as Bangladesh and India. Upon returning to the United States, Ustadh Yusuf was accepted by Darul Uloom New York, where he continued studying the sacred sciences for four more years. He then traveled to the blessed city of Tarim, Yemen, spending three especially formative years at the acclaimed school Dar al-Mustafa established by renowned scholar Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. During this time, he completed the memorization of the Qur'an, the Forty Hadith of Imam Nawawi, while also studying several manuals of fiqh, as well as numerous books of the Islamic spiritual tradition. He returned to North America in 2019 to begin teaching with SeekersGuidance in Toronto, and in July 2021 he joined the faculty at Al-Maqasid.Support the Islamic Center at NYUOur operating and programmatic budget comes directly from donations and as our community grows, so do our expenses.

It's Monday, May 15th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims in Congo killed three Last Thursday, the Allied Democratic Forces, an Islamic rebel group, ambushed a key crossing point for people and goods in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, killing three people and burning cars and motorcycles, reports International Christian Concern. At Kambo, the Semuliki River crossing channel, the Muslim jihadists emerged from the shores and overpowered the security officers guarding the access point as travelers, vehicles, and motorbikes were disembarking the barge.  Those killed in the terror attack were two sailors manning the barge and a soldier controlling access to the Semuliki River crossing channel, a key crossing point for people and goods between Kasindi and Butembo, in the Eastern region of Congo. Colossians 3:25 says, “For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.” The Worldview would add if not in this lifetime, the wicked will be held accountable in eternity. Texas mall shooter may have targeted “gun-free” zone Mauricio Garcia, the 33-year-old gunman who killed eight people on May 6th at Allen Premium Outlets mall, may have targeted the suburban Dallas shopping center because it was a gun-free zone according to the published rules of the mall.   Thankfully, an unnamed police officer who had already responded to an unrelated call, heard the shooting in progress, and shot Garcia dead within four minutes of the beginning of the rampage.  No doubt the body count would have been much higher in light of the fact that the mentally ill man had brought eight guns to the scene, according to The Associated Press. The assailant wore tactical gear and fired an AR-15-style weapon. According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, 94% of the mass shootings since 1950 have targeted “gun-free” zones.  And, when analyzing the mass shootings since 1998, 84% of them have taken place in “gun-free” zones. Killers often openly talk about their desire to attack where no one is there with a gun to stop them. Justin Bourque, who shot to death three people in Canada, ridiculed gun-free zones on his Facebook page. James Holmes, the Batman movie theater killer in Colorado who killed 12 people and wounded 58 others, revealed in his diary that he targeted the theater because it had posted signs banning permitted concealed handguns. Payton Gendron, the Buffalo, New York shooter who killed 10 people in a supermarket last December, said, “Attacking in a weapons-restricted area may decrease the chance of civilian backlash. Schools, courts, or areas where Concealed Carry Weapons are outlawed or prohibited may be good areas of attack. Areas with strict gun laws are also great places of attack.” Former Vice President Joe Biden, a Democrat, introduced the Gun-Free School Zones Act to the U.S. Senate in 1990, and it was signed into law by then-President George H.W. Bush, a Republican. The law was clearly proposed with the intent to prevent mass shootings at schools. But, as the statistics reveal, it did not result in the desired outcome. Texas mall security guard a hero Garcia, the Texas gunman on May 6th, researched when the mall was busiest — Saturday afternoons — and posted photos on social media in mid-April of a store near where he ultimately began shooting people.  Among those killed were two elementary school-age sisters, a couple and their 3-year-old son, and a 20-year-old Allied security guard named Christian LaCour, who evacuated one individual to safety, and was shot while courageously remaining to help others, reports FaithWire.com. More pastors promoting adoption, but fewer members are adopting Church leaders are increasingly promoting adoption and foster care for their members even as fewer members are involved in the processes, according to a new LifeWay Research report that surmises the drop may be attributed to the pandemic, reports Christian Headlines. The poll of churchgoers, released Thursday, found that church leaders are more likely than they were in 2017 to raise funds for and encourage their congregation to adopt. At the same time, churchgoers are less likely than in 2017 to say they know of a member who has adopted or provided foster care. The survey found that pastors were more likely in 2022 than they were in 2017 to raise funds for families who are adopting (18 percent in 2022; 8 percent in 2017), encourage families to provide foster care (17 percent to 12 percent), and encourage families to consider adoption (16 percent to 14 percent). Church members, though, are less likely to adopt than they were in 2017. The poll found that churchgoers say they were less likely in 2022 than in 2017 to say a member of their church provided foster care (25 percent in 2017 to 16 percent in 2022), adopted a new child from the United States (17 percent to 13 percent) and adopted a new child from another country (15 percent to 11 percent).

James 1:27 says, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” Elisabeth Elliot honored in a Museum of the Bible display And finally, the story of Elisabeth Elliot, a Christian missionary who devoted two years of her life to ministering to a tribe in Ecuador that killed her husband, is featured in a new exhibit at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., reports The Christian Post. While traveling through the Ecuadorian jungle to connect with the people of the Auca/Waodani tribe, Elliot's husband, Jim, and four other missionaries were speared to death on January 8, 1956.  Elizabeth Elliot returned to the Ecuadorian rainforest two years after her husband's death to live with the very tribe that had killed her husband. Her decision to forgive them helped the tribe begin a new path. In Matthew 5:43-45, Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in Heaven.” The tribesmen had been afraid and uncertain about the group of outsiders, but later came to feel remorse for their actions. The tribesmen embraced Christianity quickly once it was explained to them. The exhibit, which explores the Christian missionary's life and career spanning six decades before her death in 2015, is located on the Impact of the Bible floor in an area designated as "Personal Stories." This section of the Museum of the Bible highlights individuals who have used God's Word to impact their communities and the broader world. The Museum of the Bible exhibit about Elliot's work opened on March 30, and it will run through Jan. 28, 2024.   Watch the movie End of the Spear.
