N Korea upset with defectors sending Gospel leaflets by balloon

As we reported yesterday North Korea blew up an empty inter-Korean liaison office just north of the border with South Korea

This follows North Koreasthreats against defectorsnow in South Korea who are sending balloons with leaflets back into North Korea exposing the regime and sharing the Gospel

The Worldviewspoke to Gina Goh Asia Director for International Christian Concern about North Korean rallies against these defectors

GOH They actually even put out a huge rally organized in Pyongyang to say that We as North Korean citizensWe denounce this type of activity from North Korean defectors because they are traitors to our country and all thatI think also at the end of the day the North Korean regime they are very frustrated with the negotiationsbetween South Korea and the US not going very wellAt the same time they are still placed under sanctionsAnd although they have tried hard to get those lifted because of their lack of progress in the nuclear side of things they have not been lifted so I think economically they are also suffering

Goh said the leaflet campaigns provide the little connection that North Korean Christians have with the outside world

GOH Christians sometimes are cut off from the rest of the worldYou have to imagine that this type of creativity gets stopped they may not be able to get a digital Bible have a chance to be connected to the outside world knowing that there are Christians outsideAnd also for the general North Koreans if they have this channel blocked they may not be able to hear about the Gospel

Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in North Korea

Supremes redefine sex to include gender identitysexual preference

By a vote of 6 to 3 the US Supreme Court issued a ruling Monday forbidding employers from firing employees on the basis of a lifestyle of homosexuality or an attempt to change their gender appearanceThe ruling issued by Justice Neil Gorsuch redefined sex to include gender identity and sexual orientation

John Bursch the Alliance Defending Freedom Vice President of Appellate Advocacy advocated for one of the defendants in the case

He said Redefining sex to mean gender identity will create chaos and enormous unfairness for women and girls in athletics womens shelters and many other contexts Civil rights laws that use the word sex were put in place to protect equal opportunities for women Allowing a court or government bureaucrats to redefine a term with such a clear and important meaning undermines those very opportunitiesthe ones the law was designed to protect

This landmark pro-homosexual pro-transgenderism ruling promises to change much in American life

Before his appointment by President Donald Trump to the bench Neil Gorsuch was an active member and usher at one of the most liberal and pro-homosexual churches in the State of Colorado St Johns Episcopal Church in BoulderJustices Alito Thomas and Kavanaugh dissented
