Christian family in India beaten over refusal to deny Christ
A Christian couple in central India haven't seen their two young children for more than a month after an attack by followers of a traditional tribal religion drove them from their village for refusing to recant their faith, reports The Christian Post.
Aayatu Podiyami, 35, was assaulted twice in Sukma District for refusing to deny Christ.
The animist village head asked, “What have you decided? Will you renounce your Christian faith or leave the village?”
Podiyami replied, “Where will I go? This is my home. I have been believing in Jesus for four years, and I want to continue believing in Him.”
He managed to escape into the jungle on both occasions, but his father, Mangu Podiyami, “is not young and swift” and was unable to outrun the second assault. He explained, “The mob stopped beating him after he passed out, and his assailants thought he was dead.”
He and his wife and father have not returned home since taking refuge at a secure place on February 12. The couple has two daughters, ages 7 and 4. He said, “I cannot go back home to see my children. Our assailants are on the watch, eyeing our house, waiting for me to return. God is our only hope. Please pray for us. I can see no way forward.”
Pope Francis condemns those who didn’t take COVID jab
Speaking as part of his newly released memoirs, Pope Francis has issued fresh condemnation of critics of the abortion-tainted COVID jabs, saying that opposition to the shots “distressed” him since “being against the antidote is an almost suicidal act of denial,” reports LifeSiteNews.com.
Cuba on ‘verge of collapse’ from Marxist policies
Protests have continued this week in Cuba over one of the island’s worst ever economic and energy crises as food shortages and blackouts push the country toward the "verge of collapse," reports Fox News.
Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio tweeted, "There is no U.S. food embargo on Cuba. Last year Cuba imported over $300 million in food & commodities from the U.S. The reason Cuba is on the verge of collapse is because Marxism always leads to hunger, poverty, and shortages."
Christian teacher fired for refusing to affirm 8-year-old's “gender transition”
A teacher in the United Kingdom who was fired for not affirming the gender transition of an 8-year-old is fighting back in court, reports Christian Headlines.
The controversy began in 2021 when Hannah, an elementary school teacher, was told that an 8-year-old was joining her class and that the child must be addressed by a new name and pronouns and be allowed to use restrooms and changing rooms of the opposite biological sex.
Hannah told administrators she would not affirm the child’s new identity because doing so would harm not only the child but the other children in the class. She noted that many trans-identifying children later de-transition. In addition, affirming the child’s transgender identity would violate her conscience and her Christian faith.
Loneliness in seniors: Worse than alcoholism, obesity, and smoking
Loneliness may be the worst thing for the health of older adults, reports StudyFinds.org.
Researchers from the Regenstrief Institute and the Indiana University School of Medicine found that loneliness, which has emerged as a major biopsychosocial stressor, is worse for older people than alcoholism, obesity, and smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day.
This study, published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, suggests that primary care clinicians could be at the forefront of addressing this silent epidemic. Apparently, 53% of older adults visiting primary care facilities report feeling lonely. These feelings significantly impact their physical and mental health, reducing their overall quality of life.
In Psalm 25:15-18, David writes, “My eyes are ever t
