Apple took down Pray.com’s app with Bible reading plans
Communist China continues its crackdown on the Bible.
Last week, Pray.com reported its app was taken down from the Apple App Store in mainland China. The app contained Christian content and Bible-reading plans.
In 2022, China enacted “Measures for the Administration of Internet Religious Information Services” to further suppress Christians.
Steve Gatena with Pray.com said that “in response to these limitations, our team is exploring alternative avenues to deliver our content and services to people in mainland China.”
Sweden one step closer to joining NATO
On Monday, Hungary’s parliament approved Sweden’s bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The vote was the last hurdle for Sweden to join the western military alliance. The Scandinavian country began the process in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. 
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said, “Sweden is leaving behind 200 years of neutrality and non-alignment. It’s a big step and something to take seriously but it is also a very natural step that we take.”
Trump: "No one will touch the cross of Christ under Trump administration.”
In the United States, former President Donald Trump addressed the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Tennessee last Friday.
If elected, Trump said he would “create a new federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias. … Its mission will be to investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment, and persecution against Christians in America.”
Trump went on to warn of the radical left that wants to tear down crosses, promising that would not happen under his administration. 
TRUMP: “No one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration. I swear to you that will never happen. Never happen.”
In Psalm 14:4, God asked, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?”

Trump supports 16-week abortion ban
Speaking of Trump, the former president has expressed support for a 16-week abortion ban, according to the New York Times.
A new poll by The Economist and YouGov found that 48% of U.S. adults support a national 16-week abortion ban. Twenty-seven percent of respondents strongly support the ban. Only 36% opposed it, and 16% said they were not sure.
The survey also asked if abortion should be legal at all. Thirty-eight percent of Americans said abortion should be banned but with some exceptions; 8% said abortion should never be allowed; 29% said abortion should be legal with restrictions; and 24% said abortion should be completely legal. 
54% of public school parents want to opt kids out of sexual perversion indoctrination
Pew Research released a new survey on what Americans think about presenting information about sexually perverted lifestyles in public schools.
The study found that half of teachers think students should not learn about gender identity in school. That number rose to 62% among elementary teachers. Nonetheless, most K-12 teachers, at 58%, identify as or lean Democrat.
Among U.S. adults, 54% believe parents should be able to opt their children out of learning about so-called sexual orientation or gender identity. Forty-eight percent of teachers said the same.
Ephesians 6:4 says, “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.”
Nvidia hits $2 trillion market value
Nvidia briefly reached $2 trillion in market value last Friday. 
The tech company’s rise comes as it provides most of the computer chips used by generative Artificial Intelligence programs like chat-GPT.
