Somali Muslim militants kill 3 injure others on 2 Kenyan buses

Two passenger buses driving along the Mandera-Nairobi route in Kenya Africa were ambushed on June 7 by Somali-based al-Shabaab Muslim militants reports International Christian Concern

They killed three and injured several others Among the dead were two security officers of the escort team guarding the convoy who were shot as they approached to rescue the passengers

No doubt the Muslim militants attacked in an area where there was no cell phone coverage

Nathan Johnson ICCs Regional Manager for Africa said This recent attack comes just two months after five passengers were killed and dozens were severely injured in another bus along the same route

Psalm 3416 says The face of the Lord is against evildoers to cut off the memory of them from the earth

G7 leaders urged to build countries back in more feminine way

Last Friday the Group of 7 world leaders converged on Carbis Bay a seaside resort and village in Cornwall England for talks about fighting the coronavirus and global poverty as well as advancing the Green Agenda The G7 countries include Canada France Germany Italy Japan the United Kingdom and the United States

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson the host mapped out his vision

JOHNSON As G7 we are united in our vision for a cleaner greener world a solution to the problems of climate change I think that is what the people of our countries now want us to focus on They want to be sure that were beating the pandemic together but also that were building back better together and building back greener and building back fairer and building back more equal actually in a more gender-neutral and perhaps more feminine way -- how about that -- apart from anything else So those are some of the objectives that we have before us at Carbis Bay

Downing Street insisted the bizarre plea referred to 606 million of funding that the British government pledged toward girls education in poor nations

It came as he sat down with leaders including US President Joe Biden Canadian President Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron who have all championed woke issues

No doubt Prime Minister Johnsons opening vision statement is reflective in part of his new bride the former Carrie Symonds who is known for her environmentalist activism through Oceana and other liberal issues They just got married on May 29 2021 after brazenly living in sin

Texas high school valedictorian champions abortion

Paxton Smith the Texas valedictorian at Lake Highlands High School in Dallas ditched her planned graduation speech to rail against the states newly enacted Heartbeat Bill reports FaithWirecom The pro-life law declares if a heartbeat is detected the baby is protected typically at the sixth week of pregnancy

But Smith the demonstrable product of government educations moral relativism championed killing the baby in the womb

SMITH I am terrified that if my contraceptives fail I am terrified that if I am raped then my hopes and aspirations and dreams and efforts for my future will no longer matter I hope that you can feel how gut wrenching that is I hope you can feel how dehumanizing it is to have the autonomy over your own body taken away from you

Needless to say the truly dehumanizing thing is to kill an innocent baby whose physical future is cut short by death And secondly when a woman is pregnant there is a separate body located inside her body This has nothing to do with the alleged autonomy over her body

In fact Toni McFadden a woman who had an abortion at 18 looks back with regret on her decision She said that she believed the lie that ending the life of my child would restore my dreams my goals and my aspirations After consuming poisonous pills to end the life of my baby nothing was restored It was all a lie I had no right to take the life of my innocent child for my own selfish gain

Pompeo blasts Dr Fauci for parroting Communist Chinese

Appearing on Fox News with Laura Ingraham last Friday former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blasted Dr Anthony Fauci for parroting the Communist Chinese Partys talking points that the origin of COVID-19 was not created in the Wuhan Virology lab

POMPEO To hear Fauci this morning talk about how the Chinese have an interest us discovering what happened is just crazy talk The Chinese have a deep interest in covering it up and theyve done so pretty darn effectively In fact it was the State Department who put out documents on January 15 2020 That demonstrated some of the central facts we now know that lead to the overwhelming amount of evidence that demonstrates this probably did come from this virology lab

Secretary Pompeo believes that Dr Fauci is either incredibly nave or worse

POMPEO He implies good faith for the Chinese Communist Party Here we are on the 32nd anniversary of Tiananmen Square where we saw the brutality of this regime a regime that doesnt care about human life For Dr Fauci to go out and think for a moment that the Chinese Communist Party cared that there were people in Wuhan that were dying whether it was Chinese people or Americans -- whoever else might be there is just naive beyond all possible imagination

The Chinese Communist Party doesnt care for a moment They have no desire for the world to know what happened They could clear this all up in a minute if they wanted to Theyve chosen not to I think thats another link in the chain that demonstrates that when we get to the end of this we will have demonstrated that the Chinese knew what had happened and their virology lab was at the center of it

Nanny of disgraced Hillsong pastor alleges sexual abuse

During the seven years of her employment Kimes said the inappropriate behavior started with a lot of flirting escalated to giving him foot rubs at his request and later turned to being touched inappropriately I froze Every time I froze

When it came out that Lentz had had an affair with a different woman Hillsong fired him on November 4 2020 At the time the mistress was unaware he was even a pastor

MISTRESS He keeps saying I managed celebrities and I travel with them He didnt want to say what he does

Appearing on NBCs Today Show with Savannah Guthrie Hillsongs founding Pastor Brian Houston addressed what went wrong

GUTHRIE People described Carl Lentz as somewhat aloof and removed from the actual ministry They say he would come in a chauffeured car wait in the green room come do a sermon and depart Does that bother you

HOUSTON It does to a degree for sure Look Carl is Carl Hes a unique character There is a lot of things I miss about Carl But having said that there were leadership issues that I believe included lying included what I would call narcissistic behavior

GUTHRIE Should you have known earlier Should you have done something earlier about the leadership of Hillsong

HOUSTON There were a lot of things I shouldve know earlier And hopefully moving forward well make sure we have better systems in place and better accountability

In a statement that Houston released about the nanny allegations he said Hearing Leona Kimes experience was very disturbing We madethis commitmentto update our suite of infrastructure services including increased HR training and the requirement of our policies to be standardized across our network of churches and we hope to improve accountability and communication even further

Painfully absent from the Hillsong statement was any Scripture Like 1 Timothy 32-5 which describes the Biblical requirements for a pastor Therefore a pastor must be above reproach the husband of one wife sober-minded self-controlled respectable not a lover of money He must manage his own household well with all dignity keeping his children submissive for if someone does not know how to manage his own household how will he care for Gods church
