It’s Monday, December 1st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus I’m Ean Leppin. ([email protected])
President Donald Trump recently brought the topic of Christian persecution up noting that Nigeria was quote a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ for violating religious freedom. This has led to questions over why so many Nigerian Christian communities have faced violent attacks and why the President of the United States would require attention to this issue.
Persecution.org examined this question and has found that according to most western media outlets Climate Change is often used to portray the violent attacks over natural resources instead of religious motivation.
For example, in 2023 a massacre occurred on Christmas Eve. Over 140 people were killed in Nigeria Plateau state. Vatican News ran an article that said, quote ‘the long-running conflict between nomadic herders and farmers’.
Right after a massacre in June of this year in which 200 Christians in Nigeria’s Benue state were killed. The BBC ran an article on violence in central Nigeria that said quote ‘It is safe to assume that there are lots of victims on both sides, as any attack usually leads to revenge and then a cycle of violence’
Why is that safe to assume?
Justice G Danjuma, an evangelist for the Remnant Christian Network in Nigeria’s Taraba State, does agree that disputes over resources play a role, just not nearly as big a role as many Media outlets would have you believe.
Danjuma says quote ‘Overwhelmingly the attacks are driven by religious animosity.’ He also encouraged people to quote ‘Reject the climate change narrative pushed by Western Media’ He and added that it is quote, ‘It is deeply offensive and misleading. Why would climate change cause people to burn churches, kill pastors and massacre worshippers during Christmas or Palm Sunday services.’
Nigeria is currently number 7 on the Open Doors World Watch List for countries where Christians face the most extreme persecution.
Pray for the believers in Nigeria with the words of Psalm 35:1-3: "Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me! Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help! Draw spear and javelin against my pursuers! Say to my soul, I am your salvation!"
ADF Releases Report of Christian Victories in the Supreme Court
The Alliance Defending Freedom or ADF released a report listing the victories of 2025 so far this year! Among the victories in the US Supreme Court they reported were;
A decision in June that pro-life states like South Carolina can now direct Medicaid funds away from abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood.
And a landmark victory for children’s health and science based medicine. The Court upheld Tennessee law protecting minors from harmful and life-altering gender transition drugs and surgeries.
A link to a full list of cases won and still awaiting decisions is in a link in our transcript.
Lifenews.com reports that US Senator John Cornyn from Texas along with Senator James Lankford from Oklahoma and a group of their Senate GOP colleagues, introduced the Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act, which would ensure medical students and residents are never pressured or coerced into abortion training that violates their moral or religious beliefs and established clear federal protections so residents are not forced to choose between their conscience and their careers.
Senator Cornyn said quote, ‘The first rule of medicine is to do no harm, yet for many aspiring doctors, coerced abortion training not only contradicts that oath but also violates their moral and religious beliefs. By allowing medical residents to opt-in rather than opt-out of abortion training, this legislation would protect healthcare professionals convictions and give them the freedom to practice medicine without fear of retaliation.’
RightNow a not-for-profit organization committed to nominating and electing pro-life candidates along with educating and engaging pro-life Canadians on the political process, recently released the findings of an undercover investigation in which they went into abortion clinics across Canada to find out if it was possible to get a late-term abortion based solely on personal choice.
Alissa Golob, Co-Founder and Executive Director of RightNow says quote, ‘Canadians are often told that late-term abortions never happen in Canada and if they do, they are for extreme medical reasons. Yet, I was told numerous times that attaining a late-term abortion in Canada is relatively easy, legal and that I did not need a reason, medical or otherwise, regarding myself or my pregnancy.’
Other things exposed in this investigation were things like an abortion clinic counsellor defining late-term abortion in Canada as stillbirth, which calls into question the validity of current statistics around late-term abortions in Canada. And that taxpayer money in Canada has been used to fund travel and accommodations of Canadian women who are being sent to for-profit abortion clinics.
