The Story Behind the Persecution of a Beijing China Church

As we reported yesterday Chinese government officials raided a Bible school class at Beijings Shouwang Church over the weekend The authorities demanded that the 1000-member church end their activities and read out a document formally banning the church

The World Viewspoke to Gina Goh with International Christian Concern about why the Chinese government has gone after this church multiple times

GOH This church Shouwang Church its not the first time it was cracked downIt actually made it to international headlines several years ago because they purchased this property and it was confiscated by the government because the government demanded it to join the state-sanctioned church and it refused So it started this large scale of cracking down and it was the first large house church in recent years that has suffered this type of persecution They had to take their worship outside

Goh said that this church is known for its boldness in fearing God rather than man

GOH Its also because of their will A lot of churches in China just like anywhere else sometimes when you are faced with persecution your natural instinct is to hide or break into smaller groups to avoid persecution But the members of Shouwang church have said You know whatThis is our right you have no right to persecute us this way

Acts 529 says But Peter and the apostles answered We must obey God rather than men

According to the Media Research Center from January 20 2017 Inauguration Day through March 21 2019 the last night before special counsel Robert Mueller sent his report to the Attorney General the ABC CBS and NBC evening newscasts produced a combined 2284 minutes of Russian collusion coverage most of it 1909 minutes following Muellers appointment on May 17 2017

Thats an average of roughly three minutes a night every night for an astonishing 791 days a level of coverage normally associated only with a major war or a presidential election

The Big 3 Networks TV reporters devoted more airtime to the Russia investigation than any of the Trump administrations policy initiatives on issues like immigration tax reform trade North Korea ISIS the economy veterans affairs and the opioid epidemic In other words since his presidency began nearly one-fifth 188 of all of Trumps evening news coverage has been about this one investigation

From January 1 through March 21 of this year the spin of Trump coverage on the evening newscasts has been 92 negative vs just 8 positive even worse than the 90 negative coverage the Media Research Center calculated in 2017 and 2018

God Is Exposing the Southern Poverty Law Center Sham

Apparently the reckoning of God has visited the Southern Poverty Law Center an organization which has brought untold trouble on hundreds of Christian ministries in this country

A week after SPLC co-founder Morris Dees was fired Richard Cohen the president of the organization has announced his resignation This comes on allegations against him relating to workplace discrimination Cohen had worked with the SPLC for 32 years

The primary flag-waver for the organization Morris Dees was dismissed for reasons not made available to the public However the Alabama Political Reporter obtained copies of inter-office communication indicating multiple allegations of sexual harassment

Over the last few years the SPLC has targeted The World View in 5 Minutes Generations the Family Research Council Alliance Defending Freedom Chalcedon Probe Ministries Faith2Action the American Family Association and D James Kennedy Ministries

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center the preceding groups are hateful because they uphold a Biblical worldview about heterosexuality affirming chastity before marriage and faithfulness within heterosexual marriage between one man and one woman

Worse yet Amazon PayPal and credit card processing companies have used the so-called Hate List of the SPLC to persecute Christians over the last two years

Folks rest assured God is absolutely sovereign over the machinations of the wicked all the time Psalm 3735-36 reminds us I have seen the wicked in great power and spreading himself like a native green tree Yet he passed away and behold he was no more indeed I sought for him but he could not be found Hallelujah

As the seventh largest restaurant chain in America in 2017 the Christian-owned company has now passed up Burger King and Wendys as of last year Odds have it that Chick-fil-A will take the 3 position this year nudging out Taco Bell and Subway

New Zealand Prime Minister Sanctions Muslim Call to Prayer

Following the massacre of 50 Muslims and the injury of another 20 in two mosques one week ago in Christchurch New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced how she intended to oversee a two-minute time of silence followed by the Muslim call to prayer to be broadcast nationwide reports NBC News

ARDERN I know for many there is a desire to show support to the Muslim community as they return to mosques particularly on Friday There is also a desire amongst New Zealanders to mark the week that has passed since the terrorist attack To acknowledge this there will be a 2-minute silence on Friday We will also broadcast nationally via TVNZ and Radio New Zealand the call to prayer

On Friday Prime Minister Ardern donned a hijab along with thousands of other non-Muslim women as part of the scarvesinsolidarity campaign and recited a passage from the Koran at a ceremony in Hagley Park shortly before the government-sanctioned Muslim call to prayer The time was 130pm locally the moment when the attacksbegan the week before

ARDERN New Zealand mourns with you We are one

Muslim call to prayer

The English translation of that Islamic call to prayer is God is Great I bear witness that there is no god except the One God I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God Hurry to the prayer Rise up for prayer Hurry to success Rise up for Salvation God is Great There is no god except the One God

To be clear though the Muslims do not worship the one true God Who has revealed Himself through creation the Person of Jesus Christ and the Old and New Testaments Instead they worship the moon god And Muhammed is a false prophet

Pastor Kris Baines the director of Eternal Purpose Ministries and the interim pastor of Community Bible Church in Rodney New Zealand explained that the Muslim call to prayer was also carried in most shopping malls businesses and schools

Baines also told The World View that Christians are being slammed for deciding not to take part in this One political leader here single-handedly removed the name of Jesus Christ from the parliamentary prayer last year This week he had prayer led by the Islamic leader in parliament Its a strange feeling here right now Asking if you could pray God would give us all wisdom

In Exodus 202 and 3 God spoke these words I am the LORD your God who brought you out of Egypt out of the land of slavery You shall have no other gods before Me

Egyptian Christian Wife Forced to Become Breadwinner when Husband Jailed

False blasphemy charges changed everything for a Christian family in an Upper Egyptian village Maria lived with her husband Abd in relative peace until he was arrested last July

Maria said she and her two children dont feel safe anymore saying you can feel that all the people around you want to kill you or throw you out of the village

The World View spoke to Claire Evans of International Christian Concern about why these charges are so devastating to Maria and her family

EVANS Well in this particular case you have the primary breadwinner of the family the man who was charged with blasphemy And in this culture its usually the man who provides for the family and if hes taken out of the picture as he was in this case he was put in prison Suddenly you have a wife who has no skill sets that never had to provide before because the culture restricts the ability of women to do so And suddenly she has to take care of the family She has to take care of the kids Not only that but shes also under threat from the villagers who want to kick them out of the village

Evans said that the local governments often side with those wanting to kick the family out of the village even though federal and state governments in Egypt have helped Christians

On the local government level its a totally different picture What often happens as in this case and situation is that you have the mob saying Were gonna make this attack if you dont come and arrest these Christians because they offended us And the police dont want to go to the mob attack so instead of arresting the people who threatened to disrupt the public peace they instead go arrest the person blamed who the mob wants to take the blame which is what happened in this case

Court Pastors Get to Keep Their Pastors Housing Allowance

Christian pastors across the US are celebrating today especially those who live on a shoestring

A federal appeals court tossed out the atheist challenge which would have removed the pastors housing allowance This would have saddled American pastors with an approximate liability of 1 billion

The suit originated with the Freedom From Religion Foundation an atheist group claiming that the IRS exemption allows pastors to render unto God that which is Caesars

However after hearing the arguments by the Becket Fund the 7th Circuit concluded that this tax provision falls into the play between the joints of the Free Exercise Clause and the Establishment Clause

Pastor Steve Walker from Central Valley Presbyterian Church in Modesto California told The Worldview this was good news for pastors and others who have relied on this exemption for many years

WALKER What a lot of people may not know is that there are many many non-religious employees who receive tax-exempt housing for their jobs when that housing is furnished for the convenience of the employer Not only that but the housing allowance is not just an exemption for Protestants but its available to any religion So I think in both arenas religious vs non-religious and Protestant vs non-Protestant theres no partiality being shown to clergy in this

Covenant Seminary Disavows Revoice Conference

A theologically conservative seminary affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America recently stated that it will not be supporting the Revoice conference

The first annual Revoice conference which centered on giving support to so-called gay Christians who want to adhere to biblical sexual ethics was held in St Louis Missouri last year and drew criticism from some conservative Christians who argued that it was advancing the homosexual agenda reports the Christian Post

Jay Sklar vice president of Academics at Covenant Theological Seminary and a professor of Old Testament was one of the speakers at the 2018 Revoice gathering However as the author of two commentaries on Leviticus Sklar addressed the notion that homosexuality is condemned in Scripture

In a major announcement Covenant Theological Seminary President Mark Dalbey said that no faculty members from the Missouri-based seminary would participate in the 2019 Revoice Conference

Listen to this sound bite from his five-minute video released recently

DALBEY Heres what we believe about Biblical sexuality Marriage is to be between one man and one woman Sexual intimacy is only to be expressed within such a marriage Homosexual desire is a result of the fall its a sinful desire that is to be mortified and resisted and in no way dignified Homosexual lust homosexual intimate behavior is sin and condemned by God

Dalby went on to say that Covenant Seminary does not teach that a person should identify as a gay Christian

1 Corinthians 69-11 says Do not be deceivedNeither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterersnor men who have sex with mennor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlerswill inherit the kingdom of GodAnd that is what some of you wereBut you were washedyou were sanctifiedyou were justifiedin the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God
