Nigerian police now persecuting Christians there
Christians in Nigeria have experienced a great deal of persecution at the hands of Muslim terrorist organizations. And now, the Nigerian police have added to the persecution of Christians.
The International Center for Investigative Reporting finds that religious police, the Hisbah, are now arresting women who profess to be Christian in the Kano State. Apparently, some Muslim women are also subjected to beatings by the police for not playing by certain religious rules.
Also, five Christian girls were recently arrested by police, and prevented from attending church in the repressive state, reports International Christian Concern.
Why the Chinese Christian population is hard to pin down
How many Christians are there in China?  
Official government numbers put it at 28 million.  Another survey put the number at 43 million.
David Curry, President of Global Christian Relief, wrote a column for Fox News Digital in which he pointed out that government numbers may be inaccurate in that they may not count children. Plus, the Chinese may be reticent to respond to government inquiries concerning faith issues.
In addition, 72% of self-identified Christians in the survey are women, according to Pew Research.
Iran close to going nuclear
In the ongoing nuclear arms race, Iran has achieved what America had at Los Alamos, New Mexico in July of 1945.
According to the most recent report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran has finally accumulated sufficient uranium to make two nuclear bombs, about the size dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Southeast Asia is a “nuclear tinderbox”
Writing for The Japan Times, Susan Thornton, former U.S. assistant Secretary of State for East Asia, called Southeast Asia a “nuclear tinderbox.” She wrote, “A full-scale arms race is under way. North Korea’s stockpile of nuclear weapons and missiles has grown and Kim [Jong Un] has called for an ‘exponential increase’ in its arsenal.”
The Council on Foreign Relations estimates that North Korea has enough material for more than 100 nuclear weapons. The group said, “It has successfully tested missiles that could strike the United States with a nuclear warhead, and the country touts the world’s fourth-largest military.”
Vatican not open to ordination of women or changes on homosexuality
While mainline Protestant denominations have given way to women and homosexuals in church office, the Vatican is pushing back against the German Catholic Synod seeking liberalization of church regulation.
The Catholic News Agency reports that an October 23rd letter reminds the Catholic bishops of “potential disciplinary consequences for any defying the teaching of the Church” on the ordination of women and changes in the Church’s teaching on homosexuality. And furthermore, these matters are off the table for discussions in the upcoming meetings.
CNN horrified that Speaker Johnson has advocated righteous laws
CNN’s K-file, their investigative team, dutifully studied 100 radio interviews of U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, an evangelical Christian.
They discovered that he suggested “imprisoning doctors who perform abortions after six weeks; the Ten Commandments [should be] prominently displayed in public buildings; an elimination of anti-hate-crime laws; Bible study in public schools; criminalization of homosexuality.”  
The left wing news source was also shocked that Johnson testified that “one of the primary purposes of the law in civil government is to restrain evil.”  He also said, “We have to acknowledge collectively that man is inherently evil and needs to be restrained.”
Romans 13:4 reminds us that “[the ruler] is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for He does not bear the sword in vain. For He is the servant of
