State Dept. spoke up for Vietnamese religious liberty advocates
The U.S. State Department released a statement on April 1st expressing deep concerns for the ongoing harassment, persecution, and convictions of Vietnamese religious freedom advocates.
In the release, the State Department addressed the case of Protestant missionary Y Krec Bya, “who has been a peaceful voice for freedom of religion or belief in Vietnam.” Bya received a 13-year sentence for allegedly “sabotaging national unity” in Vietnam.
The State Department said, “We reiterate our call on Vietnam to release all those unjustly detained.”
According to the Open Doors World Watch List, Vietnam is the 35th most difficult country in which to be a Christian.
Trump: Israel needs to get the war over with
Last Thursday, former President Donald Trump was a guest on Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio show.
HEWITT: “You're still standing 100% with Israel. You achieved the Abraham Accords which was the first peace deal since [Egyptian President Anwar] Sadat.”
TRUMP: “Right.”
HEWITT: “So, are you still 100% with Israel? And what's your advice to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu beyond ‘get it over with in a hurry’?”
TRUMP: “Well, that's all the advice you can give. I mean, that's the advice. You got to get it over with and you have to get back to normalcy. Israel is absolutely losing the PR war. They're losing it big. They've got to finish what they started and they got to finish it fast and we have to get on with life.”
Biden to Netanyahu: Time for a ceasefire
In a related story, President Joe Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toward a cease-fire deal last Thursday, reports The Hill.
In response, Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked John Kirby, the White House National Security Communications Advisor, this question.
DOOCY: “On October 7th, President Biden said, ‘My administration's support for Israel's security is rock solid and unwavering.’ That is not true anymore, correct?”
KIRBY: “It is true, still true today.”
DOOCY: “How is his support ‘unwavering,’ but you're also reconsidering policy choices?”
KIRBY: “Both can be true.”
DOOCY: “They cannot be true. They're, they're completely different things.”
KIRBY: “No, no, no. I’m sorry.”
DOOCY: “He is wavering.”
KIRBY: “No, no, no. Come on. Come on. … On October 7th, there wasn't near famine in Gaza. On October 7th, there wasn't a dimunition of trucks getting into Gaza. On October 7th, we didn't see thousands and thousands of innocent people killed. We're talking about a conflict here which is dang near at six months, here this weekend, six months. And it has changed over time.
“What the President's message today was: ‘We need to see some changes in the way Israel is dealing with that threat.’ That's what two good friends and allies can discuss. This isn't about changing our support to Israel or the security of the Israeli state.”
North Carolina church fired pastor over sexual misconduct
Following a unanimous decision from church leadership, a North Carolina congregation fired its pastor after discovering that he engaged in sexual misconduct with adults.
Pursuit Church announced in a letter sent to the congregation on Monday that it removed Pastor Jordan Green from his leadership position, effective immediately, reports The Christian Post.
Green issued a statement to Charlotte-based WBTV, saying he is "deeply heartbroken over the pain I've brought to the church and the shame I've brought on the name of Christ."
He added, "The Lord brought judgment and discipline down on my life which I am extremely thankful for. When God disciplines us it is always to deliver and never to destroy. I have and will continue to repent before the Lord and seek Him through this season of discipline."
