Muslims murdered Ugandan evangelist for his faith

Morning Star News reports that Muslim extremists killed a Christian in eastern Uganda last Monday.

Yowabu Sebakaki died for his faith after leading Muslims to Christ.

He received threatening messages like this one. The hostile person wrote, “We are aware of some secret meetings you are undertaking. You have to stop preaching as well as converting our faithful Muslims to Christianity, and if not, then soon we are coming for your life.”

However, the 52-year-old evangelist continued his ministry. Assailants ambushed him as he returned to his village after a discipleship class.

Revelation 12:11 says, “They overcame [the Devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

Please pray that the guilty Ugandan Muslims would both be brought to justice and repent of their sins and profess Jesus Christ as their Savior.

New study on migrants worldwide

A new study from Pew Research found over 280 million people, or 3.6% of the global population, are international migrants.

Of migrants living outside their country of birth, 47% are Christian, 29% are Muslim, 13% are religiously unaffiliated, 5% are Hindu, and 4% are Buddhist.

Christian migrants tend to come from countries with a Christian presence but weaker economies than their neighbors like Mexico, Russia, the Philippines, and Ukraine. Most Christian migrants overwhelmingly end up coming to the U.S. followed by Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

Overall, Christian migrants grew from 73 million in 1990 to 131 million in 2020, an 80% increase.

Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Trump

Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Donald Trump on Monday night at the National Guard Association Conference in Detroit, Michigan.

Listen.

GABBARD: “I know that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a President and Commander-in-Chief bears for every single one of our lives. Whether you’re a soldier, you’re an airman, a Marine, sailor, or a Coastie, he keeps us in his heart, in the decisions that he makes.

“We saw this through his first term in the presidency, when he not only didn’t start any new wars, he took action to de-escalate and prevent wars. He exercised the courage that we expect from our Commander-in-Chief in exhausting all measures of diplomacy, having the courage to meet with adversaries, dictators, allies and partners alike in the pursuit of peace, seeing war as a last resort.

“The truth is, as we head towards our decision as a country in November, the same cannot be said about Kamala Harris. In fact, the opposite is true, and we are living through this reality today, as this administration has us facing multiple wars on multiple fronts and regions around the world and closer to the brink of nuclear war than we ever have been before.

“This is one of the main reasons why I’m committed to doing all that I can to send President Trump back to the White House, where he can once again serve us as our Commander in Chief.” (cheers and applause)

IHOP fired Christian server for asking to take Sundays off

In the U.S., an International House of Pancakes franchise reached a $40,000 settlement recently with an employee over religious discrimination.

The employee started working for the franchise of the national breakfast restaurant chain back in 2021. He asked for Sundays off so he could go to church. Eventually, IHOP fired him.

After the settlement, trial attorney Taitionna Miles said, “Religious discrimination is intolerable. Employers must respect all sincerely held religious beliefs, which includes providing reasonable accommodations when no undue hardship exists.”

Mark Zuckerberg confesses: Facebook should not have censored

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sent a letter on Monday to U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

The tech billionaire acknowledged that the Biden administration repeatedly pressured Facebook to remove certain COVID-19 content. He wrote, “I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.”

Zuckerberg also said Facebook should not have censored the Hunter Biden laptop story leading up to the 2020 presidential election.

Real wages are falling

Pew Stateline analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics found real wages are falling for most workers in recent years.

Wages have risen about 10% in the U.S. since 2021. However, consumer prices have surged by over 17%.

High cost states like New York and California saw hundreds of thousands of people leaving for lower cost states. Meanwhile, some states saw wages outpacing inflation including Montana, New Hampshire, Florida, Washington, and Maine.

Lowe’s ends participation in sexually perverted parades

Lowe’s is the latest U.S. company to scale back its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

Reuters reports that the home improvement retailer will no longer participate in surveys for Human Rights Campaign, a group advocating for sexually perverted lifestyles.

Lowe’s used to support regional stores’ participating in sexually perverted pride parades. Now, the company is reportedly changing its policy to no longer sponsor such parades or festivals.

You can thank Lowe’s for saying no to sexually perverted parades by writing a two-sentence thank you note to Marvin Ellison, CEO, Lowe’s, 1000 Lowe’s Boulevard, Mooresville, NC 28117.

Singing improves health for elderly citizens with coronary artery disease

And finally, researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee released a study on how singing affects the health of elderly people.

For the study, 65-year-old and older patients with a history of coronary artery disease sang along with a video for 30 minutes. The patients saw an improvement in microvascular endothelial function.

The study noted, “Singing should be considered as an accessible and safe therapeutic intervention in an older population who otherwise may have physical or orthopedic limitations hindering participation in traditional exercise.”

For the study, patients sang along to several different songs, including Amazing Grace. Patients who sang the classic hymn saw the greatest effect.

Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
