Daily Headlines on contemporary issues that impact a Biblical Christian worldview.
“Megachurch forces all members to sign statement opposing LGBTQ+ rights“…
“First Baptist Church — a megachurch in Jacksonville, Florida — is forcing its members to sign a “Biblical Sexuality Agreement,” an anti-LGBTQ+ statement that denies the existence of trans people, opposes same-sex marriage, and calls same-sex intercourse ungodly. The statement reads: “As a member of First Baptist Church, I believe that God creates people in his image as either male or female, and that this creation is a fixed matter of human biology, not individual choice. I believe marriage is instituted by God, not government, is between one man and one woman, and is the only context for sexual desire and expression.” – LGBTQ Nation
“World Watch List 2023: China Ranks Top 16 Country Where Christians Are Most Persecuted”…
“Open Doors launched its World Watch List 2023 on Wednesday, where China ranks top 16 among the 50 countries where Christians are most persecuted. More than 360 million Christians suffered high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith, according to the World Watch List 2023. More than 5,621 Christians were murdered, 2,110 churches were attacked, and 4,542 Christians were detained.” – China Christian Daily
“Policeman resigns after suspension for post on gay marriage“…
“A Georgia police officer named Jacob Kersey made this post to his personal Facebook account earlier this month: “God designed marriage. Marriage refers to Christ and the church. That’s why there is no such thing as homosexual marriage.” The next day, his supervisor informed him that someone had complained about the post and instructed him to take it down.” – Denison Forum
“Pennsylvania jury acquits pro-life activist Mark Houck on charges of obstructing abortion clinic access“…
“A jury has reportedly acquitted Pennsylvania pro-life activist who was accused of allegedly pushing a Planned Parenthood escort during a clash outside an abortion clinic, Life News reported. Mark Houck, 48, faced charges that he violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which makes it a federal crime to use force with the intent to injure, intimidate and interfere with anyone because that person produces reproductive health care. He pleaded not guilty.” – Fox News
“Biden Comes to the Rescue of Woke CEOs with New Labor Dept. Rule”…
“Under a new rule that just went into effect this week, companies like BlackRock have the green light to put ESG priorities — things like abortion, climate change, the LGBT agenda — ahead of turning a profit for people’s retirement plans. In other words, if a certain energy stock is performing well, activists like Blackrock’s Larry Fink would have the government’s blessing to ignore the client’s financial interests and invest in a company that aligns with Fink’s environmental goals instead.” – Washington Stand
