In May 2025, a video went out showing young Britishschoolchildren being prompted to prostrate themselves and pray Islamic prayers. This “instruction” is unfolding across the United Kingdom—and often. These lessons occur every week during assigned terms. Most parents – and most Christians – have no clue any of this is taking place.And when people do discover all of this, they recognize itfor what it is: indoctrination. How is it that in a historical Christian country, children are being conditioned in Islam? Mark Heath joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to alerteveryone to what is going on. As a British Christian and parent, Mark was shocked to learn that these “lessons” were being taught in the local school. He spoke up, and others must speak up as well. Even Christians in other westernnations need to be aware of this practice, and intentionally engage their school systems to find out what is going on.

Indigenous Christians in Uzbekistan have a heart to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to other nations. Praise God! However, many are unable to support these missionary efforts themselves. Is it just because they are live in a less affluent region? Or is there something more at play?Local churches across the globe need to be self-propagating, self-governing and self-supporting. This last feature is often poorly developed or overlooked. James Cha, former missionary and Christian leader, joins theChristian Emergency Podcast to unpack what this means for the Church.The Nevius Method is a missionary approach that emphasizes these three themes, in addition to healthy theology. The method is based off the approach used by John Livingstone Nevius, a missionary to China in the 19th Century. His method made a big impact on how Christianswere discipled in China and Korea.James suggests that this simple approach, rooted in simple obedience, would improve the health and strength of many local churches today. This is true of churches in Central Asia, Africa and even the West. Listen and learn how this could apply for missionaries overseas and also in your local fellowship.If Christians faithfully tithe, even if they have little to offer, the effects are profound. On this episode, James shares from his personal experience to show how missionaries and Christians should consider incorporating the Nevius Method in their own settings.If you find this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

As April 2025 merged into May, much has happened acrossChristendom. In this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, Andy examines some recent events that affected the Church. First we look to Nigeria, where it was recently admittedthat an attack on Christians in a recent Easter parade was done intentionally. Contrary to early claims by police, who insisted the 18-wheel truck slammed into thebelievers because of a brake malfunction, an investigation revealed that this was in fact a brazen assault. Also in Nigeria we discuss the recent killing of an indigenousmissionary named Peter Emmanuel. Peter was targeted because he helped a Christians convert who came to faith from a Muslim Background. In Syria, we look at recent intimidation efforts targetingthe Valley of the Christians and other Christian villages. We also discuss a recent incident where Christian college students were assaulted because they were in the presence of a fellow student, who happened to be a female. Finally, we wrap up with a look to the Sindh Province ofPakistan. A drought is wreaking havoc there, which is making life especially difficult for local Christian converts. There are many challenges in Pakistan, but we also glimpse the joy that still comes from following Christ through difficulties.

Wednesday, 30 April 2025   But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country. Matthew 9:31   “And they, having departed, they divulged Him in all that land” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus strictly charged the men whose eyes had been healed to see that none knew about what He had done. However, the account now says, “And they, having departed, they divulged Him in all that land.”   Charles Ellicott tells of a difference of perception about their actions, saying that the matter “curiously enough, has been answered by most patristic and Roman Catholic commentators in the affirmative, some even maintaining that the command was not meant seriously; and by most Protestant commentators in the negative.”   It is hard to see how what is plainly stated in black and white can be intended as anything other than disobedience to the word. There is no hint that Jesus wasn't serious. That must be read into the text. One must wonder, then, why there is a striking divide.   A couple of possibilities come to mind. The first is that some noted Roman Catholic theologians may have decided their actions were ok and others fell in line with his analysis. This would not be uncommon. Reading commentaries that span hundreds of years, one can tell why a point is agreed on by various scholars by simply looking at unusual words that are used to make a point.   In other words, someone may comment on a verse using the word fructifying. Though this word may not be seen again in his writings, it is used in an analysis of the same verse by numerous later scholars. This tells us that later scholars read his analysis, liked the use of the unusual word, and used it in their own analysis, which mirrors in content that of the older scholar.   It is kind of a “follow-the-bandwagon” way of analyzing a verse. A second possibility is that the overall theology of the Roman Catholic Church finds this verse difficult to swallow as being a sign of disobedience because it would then conflict with their own theology in other areas.   What needs to be done is to consider why Jesus charged them in the first place and then why Matthew points out their reaction. It could be that there was an immediate reason for Him telling them not to tell others, such as noted in the previous commentary, which said Jesus may not yet have wanted it to be openly accepted that He was the Messiah.   By restoring sight to the blind, something Isaiah indicates is something the Messiah would do, it might then spur the masses in a direction not yet desired for Him to accomplish His work. However, there may be a reason for His charging them that would only be understood after He completed His work.   In other words, it has been seen that the healing of the woman with a flow of blood mirrored salvation in the church that Christ would establish. The raising of the child mirrors the restoration of Israel after the church age. Thus, it is logical to consider that this account may have something to do with future theology as well.   Here we have sight restored to two blind men. This was obviously something they thought Jesus could do, and when they called out to Him, they called Him the Son of David. They believed Him to be the Messiah and that He was capable of healing them. However, after He did so, He gave them a word to be obedient to. In the very next verse, they are shown to be disobedient to the word.   Despite their disobedience, there is no later note that they lost their eyesight, something Matthew would surely have recorded. But more, it goes on to say that they divulged Him in all that land. They didn't just tell about Him to their family or in their city, but everywhere they went.   Though unstated, accompanying their words would have been praises to God and notes that this was surely the Messiah. It is unlikely they would hail Him as such, believe in Him, and then later say, “Some guy healed us.” Rather, they would say, “We were restored by the Messiah!”   So what is this account telling us? It is a note that when one is saved and has seen the light of Christ, that salvation is eternal. Despite their obvious disobedience to the spoken word, they retained their eyesight.   If we are honest with ourselves, each person who has been saved by Jesus will openly avow that he has been disobedient to the word we have been given, the word spoken by God, which is then recorded by His apostles. And yet, Jesus continues to save us and allow us to go out and tell others about who He is and what He has done for us.   Despite our failing Him, He is full of grace – enough to carry us for all of our days until He brings us to Himself. This must be the reason the words are recorded for us as they are.   Life application: Understanding the premise laid out concerning these men, it begs the question of why most Roman Catholic theologians see their actions as not being disobedient, while most Protestants take the opposite view.   It may partially be a follow-the-bandwagon thing, but more than that, it shows a vast gulf in the basic theology of the two approaches to the word. Protestants have accepted the five Solas since the Reformation: Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone), Sola Fide (faith alone), Sola Gratia (grace alone), Solus Christus (Christ alone), and Soli Deo Gloria (glory to God alone).   Roman Catholics reject all of these to some extent. They believe Scripture to some point, but add in authoritative edicts from the Vatican, along with the apocrypha. It is Scripture, plus. They believe in faith plus works. They believe in grace, but personal merit is included for “getting out of purgatory” and all kinds of other nonsense.   They believe in Christ but also exalt Mary to co-redemptrix. They pray to her, petition her, and build lots of idols of her to worship. They also believe in exalting God, but their theology exalts angels and even the pope within their worship. Everything about Roman Catholicism is “plus.”   Because of this, seeing the man's actions as disobedient would return too much emphasis concerning disobedience upon their own corrupt theology, which rejects the word of God as our sole authority that must be adhered to.   Most Protestants, however, understand that ignoring or being disobedient to the word is not something that can be denied. Thus, there is an understanding that it is grace that heals us (like the eyes of the blind men), and it is grace that continues to carry us through until the day when Jesus will bring us to Himself (as displayed in their disobedience without being re-blinded for it).   We are seeing in these few verses the doctrines of 1) free will, and 2) eternal salvation. Our perception of what Jesus has done and the effectiveness of it in our lives will be understood and worked out in how we perceive what the word “grace” means. The more we understand it, the more willing we will be to adhere to His word. And yet, it will also comfort us when we realize we continue to fail Him from day to day.   Lord God, even before Jesus came, we have types, pictures, and prophecies that reveal to us the many things He would do. They literally permeate the Old Testament. And in Jesus' coming, we have hints concerning what things would be like after the completion of His work. Thank You, O God, for giving us such insight to help us make proper decisions about our theology now that we are saved by You through Him. Amen.

Madness is sweeping Colorado. A litany of anti-Christianbills is being rushed through that will have serious consequences for believers in the state. Although several sizable churches and ministries call Colorado home, few are raising their voices against these measures.That is why a few pastors – mostly of modest-sized churches– have taken it upon themselves to speak. They are working hard to alert believers about what is happening. These Christian leaders are also working hard to organize Christians and rally them to stand against evil. Joining the Christian Emergency Podcast to discuss thesedevelopments is Pastor Chase Davis of the Well Church in Boulder, Colorado. Chase returns to the show to update Christians on their efforts, direct them to helpful resources, and mobilize them to prayer and action.

You probably never heard of Sunday Jackson. But Christiansaround the world need to learn about him, as he faces grave injustice in Nigeria. The Christian farmer was set upon by an armed Fulani Islamist, just like thousands of Christians who lost their lives at the hands of armed Fulani. But Sunday defended himself and prevailed over his attacker, who would later succumb to his injuries.For the crime of defending himself, Sunday Jackson hasreceived a capital sentence and is set to be hanged. Injustice is too soft a word for this legal monstrosity. In essence, Nigerian Christians are not allowed to defend themselves. Meanwhile, Islamists who are captured on video celebratingactual crimes are granted their freedom. Joining us to understand the two tier legal system in Nigeria is Zariyi Yusuf. He will help you understand what happened with Sunday Jackson and other Nigerian Christians suffering under an unjust legal system. Please join us in praying for Sunday Jackson and agitating to see him freed. Alsocontact your own country's leaders to intercede on Sunday's behalf. God willing, we will see Sunday Jackson freed.

The situation in Syria is likely worse than you know. Over the last week, jihadist militants have savagely attacked religious minorities, eliminating thousands of civilians in just a matter of days. Women, children, entire families – were dispatched in their homes and in the streets. Many of the bodies have been dumped into mass graves. Thevideos and photos capturing these scenes in Syria are ghoulish. The savagery bears all the hallmarks of a genocide. The Alawites, a religious minority group similar to Shi'iteMuslims, were primarily targeted in these pogroms. Yet other minorities, including Christians, were swept up in the violence. Sadly, most Christians around the world know little – ifanything – about what is going on. Others are confused. To help raise awareness, we are providing this brief update on what's happening in Syria.  Take courage! The Church is not doomed in Syria. Many Christians are standing their ground in Syria, even if they are scared. Not only that, but many from different religious backgrounds are seeking the truth and finding Christ. We serve the Lord who penetrates darkness with light. But the Church in Syria needs help. Please share about whatis going on, so other Christians can know and pray accordingly.

The assault on religious liberty within the U.S. military has been going on for decades. But things cratered to surprisinglevels in recent years. Christians in the U.S. military have endured much. Biblical standards have been jettisoned. Anti-Christian values have been embraced by leadership ranks, often with the fervor of social activists. Many service members have felt pressured to conceal their biblical faith or face repercussions.
