You can get the paperback version here

Col Moon H Kim was accused of subscribing to the ultra-conservativeReformedevangelical Christian theology of John Piper Once again the rub seems to be Pipers reference to the sin of homosexual intercourse as warranting specific judgment of God as referenced in Romans 1 p 71

However twenty members of Congress have issued a signed-letter urging the Secretary of Defense to protect Colonel Kims religious liberties and others who wish to express their religious beliefsThe letter was initiated by Representatives Doug Collins R-GA and Doug Lamborn R-CO reports Fox News

Pastor John Piper referred to Romans 1 which states For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature And likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient Who knowing the judgment of God that they which commit such things are worthy of death not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them

40 more families likely to homeschool this fall

A RealClear Opinion Research pollreleasedThursday found 40 percent of families are more likely to choose to homeschool their children or engage in virtual learning once the coronavirus pandemic subsides reports Breitbartcom

The Worldview spoke to Mike Donnelly Senior Counsel of the Home School Legal Defense Association

DONNELLY Its a pretty amazing thing when you think about 40 more people homeschooling in the fall There are other polls that suggest it could be lower than that perhaps 15 But even if you apply the 15 number you are looking at about 85 million more children homeschooling in the fall which would be pretty incredible a significant transformative outcome

Donnelly explained what might prompt parents to consider homeschooling

DONNELLY People are starting to hear what the schools are going to do in the fall And it sounds like a lot of people arent too keen on things like constant hand sanitizing and having to juggle multiple kids with multiple online classes half on half off you know three kids at school this day two tomorrow while theyre trying to juggle their own jobs which may require them to telecommute more or less So theres a complication factor

Among the parents interested in homeschooling listen to the fascinating ethnic differences

DONNELLY The Real Clear Politics Paul was very interesting in terms of the breakdown of ethnicity and being more likely to homeschool with Asians at 538 Blacks at 504 and then Hispanics at 382 and whites at 363 What would explain the disparity And why would Asians of blacks be more likely with such a significant disparity to want to homeschool I think I would say the reason is those are the two smallest groups in homeschooling right now

Youve got black homeschoolers is about 8 of the total population Asians is about four or 5 Hispanic 24 and white is the rest So with Asian and black communities homeschooling is much newer in those communities and so you would naturally see a larger opportunity for growth

Deuteronomy 67 reminds believers to impress Gods commandments on their children Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road when you lie down and when you get up

YouTube censors epidemiologist for opposing lockdown

Dr Knut Wittkowski former head of biostatistics epidemiology and research design at Rockefeller University says YouTube removed a video of him opposing a lockdown which had racked up more than 13 million views reports the New York Post

He is a ferocious critic of the nations current steps to fight the coronavirus He has derided social distancing saying it only prolongs the virus existence has attacked the current lockdown as mostly unnecessary and said the pandemic will only end after it has sufficiently spread through the population

Listen to what Dr Wittkowski said in the now-deleted video from YouTube

WITTKOWSKI With all respiratory diseases the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity About 80 of the people need to have had contact with the virus and the majority of them wont even have recognized that they were infected or they had very very mild symptoms especially if theyre children

So its very important to keep the schools open and kids mingling to spread the virus to get herd immunity as fast as possible And then the elderly people who should be separated and the nursing homes should be closed during that time can come back and meet their children and grandchildren after about four weeks when the virus has been exterminated

In April YouTube said it would be removing information that is problematic abo...

Could FDA-approved drug Ivermectin cure COVID-19

Many have died from the COVID-19 draconian lockdown in the Dominican Republic And its not because of the virus

A doctor and missionary from the Dominican Republic Dr Gene Anthony said that many have died from starvation or having to walk home through the steaming heat He said somewere even beaten by authorities for violating quarantine

ANTHONY Many people who work day jobs and they get paid on a daily basis in cash Maybe theyre a taxi driver or they drive a motorcycle and take people around or have a small fruit stand or a beauty salon or a clothing shop and theyre surviving day to day week to week And many of them live in cinder block with metal roofs which are just steaming

The government has put a lockdown on all employment except for pharmacies and little convenience stores and supermarkets All of a sudden you put millions of people out of work and theres no way for them to feed their families I was with somebody yesterday I said Did you eat She said No I didnt eat I said why She said Theres no money

Psalm 1165 says The LORD is gracious and righteous our God is full of compassion

Dr Anthony is putting up a website about an FDA-approved wonder drug that you can get in any third world pharmacy called Ivermectin that has treated many diseases like the HIV virus The doctors in Dominican Republic decided to use it and he said that there was 100 success

ANTHONY There is a wonder drug called Ivermectin Lets break the news to your hearers about this You can get it at any pharmacy In the third world you can buy it over the counter In the US you need a prescription of course But anywhere in Asia Latin America probably not in Europe Africa you can just get it over the counter Its safe Its been used for over 40 years It has treated African river blindness Japanese encephalitis pseudo rabies It kills the HIV virus and scientists in Australia found that it kills the coronavirus Our doctors here in the Dominican Republic decided to use it

Are COVID-19 deaths being padded

The Centers for Disease Control said In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID cannot be made but is suspected or likely -- like the circumstances are compelling with a reasonable degree of certainty -- it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate as probable or presumed In other words it appears that the 80000 American death number is artificially inflated

Appearing on Laura Ingrahams Fox News Channel show Dr Scott Jensen who also happens to be a Republican state senator in Minnesota shook his head with outrage over the CDC reporting methodology

JENSEN Well in short its ridiculous I spent some time earlier today just going through the CDCs manual on how to complete death certificates And the parts that were specifically written for physicians The determination of the cause of death is a big deal The idea that were going to allow people to massage and sort of game the numbers is a real issue

Anytime healthcare intersects with dollars it gets awkward Right now Medicares determine that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital youll get paid 13000 If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get 39000 Three times as much Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do

Dr Scott Jensen explained how ridiculous COVID-death reporting has become

JENSEN Lets just take someone getting hit by a bus Blood work comes back the COVID test comes back positive and they die 20 minutes later because of their collapsed lung Were gonna put that down as COVID-19 That doesnt make any sense

66 of New Yorks new infections come from people at home

Tucker Carlson of Fox News Channel explained the reason why we have all been quarantined in our homes which has crushed the economy

CARLSON Well the reason 30 million people are out of work the reason were sending small business owners to jail is that supposedly it is essential to saving an enormous number of lives

New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo was unambiguous claiming that the stay-at-home orders were designed to save lives

CUOMO Stay at home When I issued the stay-at-home order it wasnt It would be nice if you did It is a mandate Stay at home If youre a non-essential worker stay at home If you leave the house youre exposing yourself to danger

However the majority of coronavirus cases in New York are coming from those who did stay at home reports the Washington Times Listen to the Governors candid admission

CUOMO This is a surprise Overwhelmingly the people were at home 18 of the people came from nursing homes less than 1 came from jail or prison 2 came from the homeless population 2 from other congregate facilities But 66 of the people were at home which is shocking to us

COVID-19 leading to Pakistani Christian starvation amp more persecution

Although the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak has been the cause of millions of unemployment filings in America persecuted Christians around the world are starving and barely able to survive during this pandemic

The Worldviewspoke to William Stark of International Christian Concern about how the coronavirus lockdowns have caused much suffering for those in countries like Pakistan and India

STARK The COVID-19 virus has brought many challenges to the persecuted church around the worldI can speak specifically to kind of two different ways in which persecuted Christians have faced some pretty dramatic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the national lockdowns that followed

First of all its given a new way in which Christians face persecution and discriminationThe greatest example of this is what were seeing in a place like PakistanOn March 21 the entire country went into lockdownAbout 45 of the countrys population lives below the poverty line and earns their money from daily wage or daily labor jobsSo obviously the national lockdown cut off almost half of the countrys population from being able to receive or to earn funds on a daily basis
