Sudanese Muslims drove 34 Christians from their homes

Morning Star News reports Muslims in Sudan drove 34 Christians from their homes last month.

The Christians had come to the area after fleeing military conflict elsewhere in the northeastern African country. However, local Muslims demanded they leave since they did not want Christians in the area.

One of the Christians said, “We are currently in a very bad humanitarian situation, as we have lost our shelter, and we have children, women and the elderly. And we have lost our livelihoods that helped us provide for our basic daily needs.”

According to Open Doors, Sudan is the 8th most dangerous country for Christians worldwide.

Pro-lifer reacts to prayer censorship zone around abortion mills

Last Thursday, a “buffer zone” law went into effect in England and Wales.

The Public Order Act 2023 bans people from “influencing” people at abortions mills.

The United Kingdom’s Crown Prosecution Service released legal guidance on the law. It noted that people could violate the law near abortion mills by offering counsel, handing out leaflets, holding Bibles, displaying images of babies, singing around religious pictures, and praying, including silent prayer.

Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, director of March for Life UK, called the law a national disgrace.

VAUGHAN-SPRUCE: “Today is a shameful day for our country. Buffer zones around abortion centers have been legalized with an unlimited fine risk for those caught waking the obscure rules they set out.”

Conservative Christian groups spending more money in Africa

Conservative groups are increasing spending in Africa, according to a report from the Amsterdam-based Institute for Journalism and Social Change.

The report covered 17 U.S. groups most of which were Christian and known for opposing sexually perverted lifestyles. The groups included Heartbeat International, Focus on the Family, Alliance Defending Freedom, and the Home School Legal Defense Association.

The groups spent a combined $16.5 million in Africa between 2019 and 2022. Over the period, spending increased 47%. U.S. conservative groups’ investment in Africa comes as nations in the continent have passed laws in favor of Biblical marriage and sexuality.

80 million voters cast ballots during early voting

Voters in the United States headed to the polls yesterday for the 2024 presidential election.

Nearly 80 million voters already cast ballots in early voting. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump both encouraged their supporters to vote early.

Voters will also be deciding control of the U.S. Congress. Nonpartisan analysis suggests that Republicans are likely to regain control of the Senate, but they might lose control of the House where Democrats only need to win four seats.

Daniel 2:21 says God “changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.”

Early election results appear promising for Trump

Initial results are in and early calls have been made. So far there are no surprises.

Ten states, including Florida, have been called for Trump and eight states have been called for Harris.

Gary Bauer, the founder of Campaign for Working Families, wrote,

“Kudos to RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump. Throughout the day, the RNC had a serious ballot integrity effort under way so that at the first signs of predictable Democrat cheating, we immediately went into court to correct the situation.

“While the night is still young, Harmeet Dhillon reports that everything seems to be running smoothly in Maricopa County, Arizona. The big challenge is making sure people get in line so they can vote.

“There is one troubling area where we still need more information. An alleged ‘tabulation error’ in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has resulted in 31,000 absentee ballots being recounted. Election officials made this announcement without stating any results. This is the kind of thing that puts us all on edge.

“Florida is the third largest state in the country and they are racing through the counting process. Donald Trump and Sen. Rick Scott are leading by nearly one million votes. In fact, Trump is reportedly up by double digits in heavily Hispanic Miami-Dade County, suggesting he may perform well with Hispanics across the country.

“But how is it that Florida can count ballots so efficiently and will have their results in a few hours while much smaller states are saying it will take days or weeks? It doesn’t take weeks to count votes. It takes weeks to cheat.

“A CNN exit poll found that the degree of dissatisfaction with the direction of the country is extraordinary, and that should help Trump. Commentators said this was a strong current Harris must swim against since she has been in office the last four years.”

Gary Bauer made one final observation. “One exit poll indicated that independent voters in Georgia were breaking for Trump by high single digits.”

David Axelrod: There is “no enthusiasm on the ground for Kamala Harris”

Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" this past Sunday, David Axelrod, the chief strategist of Barack Obama's two successful presidential campaigns, said that there is "zero enthusiasm on the ground for Kamala Harris in demographics that [she] most needs."

AXELROD: “The watch word of the day is humility here. When you have polls this close, you're not sure of anything, and it really matters who shows up, because these polls are not precise.

“So, what I'm worried about is you're counting on some women -- who are independent, Republican women -- to come out and vote for Harris. Is that going to materialize? Is the gender gap going to be what you need it to be?

“Are minority voters going to come out in the numbers, of African-American voters in particular, and are you going to get the margins that you want there? So, there are a lot of open questions. This race is filled with uncertainty today.”

114-year-old Pennsylvania woman the oldest in North America

And finally, a Pennsylvania woman is now considered to be the oldest living person in North America.

114-year-old Naomi Whitehead lives in a senior care community in Greenville West Salem. She attained the status after 115-year-old Elizabeth Francis of Texas died last month.

Naomi was born in September 1910 and has outlived her husband and three sons. She’s the seventh oldest person in the world and has 12 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, 49 great-great-grandchildren, and three great-great-great-grandchildren.

She said she’s abstained from smoking and drinking and also credits good genes. She told New Castle News last year, “I’ll live as long as the Lord lets me.”

1 Peter 3:10-11 says, “He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.”
