Pastor Janmajya Bhattarai had given educational materials, clothes, and gifts to underprivileged children in the area. During this festive season, Hebrews 13:3 reminds us, “Remember the pri

National Association of Realtors Attacks Free Speech The US National Association of Realtors has slammed a Christian realtor in Virginia for his stance taken for the cause of righteousness. Wilson Fauber was declared guilty by the NAR ethics panel for “harassing speech” and “hate speech.” Fauber’s social media posts espoused traditional Christian views on marriage and sexuality. He shared comments from Franklin Graham and other Christian leaders online. In a statement released by the Founding Freedoms Law Center (FFLC), Fauber said: “In 44 years as a realtor, I have loved and served all people. Regularly, I hear from other faith-based realtors that live in fear of being similarly prosecuted for their faith, and potentially losing their livelihoods, if they don't hi

Filling in for Adam McManus, I’m Ean Leppin. Texas Schools Removing the Bible from Libraries The head of a Texas school district says the Bible had to be removed from school libraries because of a new state law prohibiting explicit books. The Christian Post reports that Canyon Independent School District Superintendent Darryle Flusche announced in an email earlier this week that, under House Bill 900, which was passed by the Texas Legislature in 2023, parts of the Holy Bible are deemed unsuitable. House Bill 900 was passed for the purpose of protecting schools from sexually explicit or vulgar content. In an email to parents, Flusche stated the full text of the Bible had been removed because it was categorized under this mandate, even though portions of the Bible will remain available. He went on to say that “through strong con

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Vietnamese pastors attacked by Communists In recent months, masked attackers shot two pastors in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. 62-year-old Pastor Y Hung Ayun and 57-year-old Pastor Y Pho Eban lead independent house churches. They are not registered with the communist government. Because of this, they often face harassment from officials. Thankfully, the attacks were not fatal. However, gunmen left Pastor Eban unable to walk. In Pastor Ayun’s case, the attackers used rubber bullets which caused severe damage to his legs. Please pray for the church in Vietnam. The country is ranked 35th on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian. In John 16:33, Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you w

Twenty-six religious buildings were attacked, and 10 priests and a seminary student were murdered over the time period. Evangelicals have also faced persecution in Mexico. Authorities forcibly displaced over 150 Christians in Mexico’s Hidalgo state earlier this year. Pablo Vargas, national director of Impulso18, noted, “Religious leaders, especially those who are working with the most marginalized and speaking out against corruption and in favor of human rights and peace, are often identified by organized criminal groups as problems to be silenc
