It’s Monday, September 14th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Former Muslim beaten badly by three Ugandan Muslim sons A 52-year-old Christian in eastern Uganda was recovering from injuries after his Muslim sons attacked him for leaving Islam, reports Morning Star News. Kibirige Abumusa returned home on August 9 after an extended stay in Jinja City, where he had put his faith in Jesus Christ on June 1 at an open-air evangelistic event after which he stayed for discipleship. Immediately after Abumusa’s conversion, a Muslim imam in Jinja City told his son Budallah. Upon his father’s return, Budallah questioned his father about abandoning Islam, calling him an infidel, and told him that he did not deserve to live because of his decision to leave Islam. Budallah struck Abumusa with a stick, and his four other sons joined in beating him. By the time neighbors arrived, Abumusa was weak, bleeding from the nose and had wounds on his hands, legs, and back. Islam teaches that killing a former Muslim earns the killer paradise. Muslims make up just 12 percent of Uganda’s population. In Matthew 16:24, Jesus said, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.” Detroit pastor declares: “Satan, you will not steal our country!” Appearing at the GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas last week, Lorenzo Sewell, a black Detroit, Michigan pastor of the 180 Church, delivered a benediction which was well received. SEWELL: “I would like to preach a message entitled ‘Enough is enough.’ How many know that we are saying today: ‘Not today, Satan’? “You will not steal our country. You will not have our children. You will not have our families. Enough is enough. I know I got somebody in this room that believes in the King of Glory, the One who is strong and mighty, the One who is mighty in battle. He's got the only name given among men whereby we must be saved, and that's the name of Jesus. Come on now. If you believe in that name, put your hands together and give your great God great glory. “Devil, you won't have the land where my fathers died. Devil, you won't have the land of the Pilgrim's pride. From every mountainside, we believe that freedom will ring. If you believe where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Come on, Texas, put your hands together, and give our great God great glory. (applause) “Before I take my seat, let me just ask you one question: ‘Are you proud to be an American?’ CROWD: “Yes!” SEWELL: “For at least I know that I'm free, and I thank God for the men and the women that died, that gave that right to me. And I'm gonna stand up and fight, fight, fight for the soul of a nation. If that’s you, put your hands together and give your God great glory.” (applause) Psalm 96:8 says, "Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name.” While Lorenzo Sewell was in high school, his father went to prison for murder, and his younger brother was hit by a car and killed. That’s when Sewell became heavily involved in drugs, drug dealing, and the gang life, ultimately becoming a gang leader. During his senior year of high school, while under the influence of drugs and alcohol in Daytona Beach, Florida, Sewell was kicked out of a resort. On his way out, the security guard told Sewell that he would pray for him. On April 18, 1999, Sewell attended his grandmother's church, and had a "Damascus Road" experience that turned his life around. No wonder, after his dramatic conversion, he chose to name his church the 180 Church. Rep. Brandon Gill: Mid-term election is mainstream vs. extreme Appearing at the GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas on September 10th, Republican Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas explained what is at stake in the upcoming November 3rd election. GILL: “This election is very clear. It's the mainstream versus the extreme, because there's another political movement in our country right now that doesn't believe that America is or ever was great. (audience boos) “They sometimes call themselves socialists. Some even call themselves communists. But most of them simply go by Democrats. They're the ones who will tell you that your love for America is nothing but bigotry, that our heritage is rooted in white supremacy, and that your Christian faith is patriarchal and needs to be dismantled.” Trump promised $5,000 'dividend' for Americans if GOP wins midterms President Donald Trump opened his remarks at the GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas with this comment. TRUMP: “The Democrats are getting nervous. They said, ‘If we did a midterm convention, nobody would show up.’ This place is packed.” He made news for promising a financially irresponsible giveaway if Republicans retain the House and the Senate, reported CNBC News. Listen. TRUMP: “If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. Very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to its shareholders, or like last year when I gave our great members of the military $1,776.” If the Republicans retain the House and the Senate, and President Trump makes good on that promised Treasury giveaway, it would add a whopping $1.3 trillion directly to the national debt, which already sits at $40 trillion. Sen. Fetterman will switch parties post election if GOP lose Senate And finally, appearing on "The Journal Editorial Report" on Fox News, Democratic strategist and pollster Doug Schoen explained what needs to happen for the Democrats to win the U.S. Senate. SCHOEN: “If Trump stays below 40 [percent], and the election is a referendum on him, that will work to the Democrats' advantage because the Democrats need a ‘wave election’ for them to win the Senate. If it isn't a ‘wave election,’ I don't think they do.” There are six states where the race for the U.S. Senate is a toss-up including Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Ohio and Texas. For Democrats to take back the Senate, they need to pick up four of those six senate seats. Paul Gigot, the Fox host, asked why Democrats are going after Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, a defender of Israel and who defended Trump at the Midterm Convention, reports RealClearPolitics.com. GIGOT: “So, let's talk about Fetterman. Why are Democrats going after Fetterman?” SCHOEN: “Because they are scared of two things. One, Fetterman attacking them. Second, Fetterman leaving them. And the third, Fetterman represents a brand of politics that I support, which is moderate, Democratic incrementalism and strong support for Israel and a strong American foreign policy. That is now off the table for my party. The world of Bill Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council is gone.” The Democratic Leadership Council was a centrist group that was active from 1985 to 2011. It argued that the United States Democratic Party should shift away from the leftward turn it had taken since the late 1960s. One of its main purposes was to win back white, middle-class voters with ideas that addressed their concerns. The Democratic Leadership Council hailed the election and re-election of Bill Clinton as proof of their worldview. GIGOT: “Are you saying that it is now impossible for somebody to be vocally pro-Israel in the Democratic Party in a prominent role?” SCHOEN: “In an unabashed way, I'm saying yes. Look at Chuck Schumer. He has been far more outspoken about change in Jerusalem than in Tehran.” Then, Paul Gigot asked about Fetterman’s long-term prospect in the Democratic Party which elicited a fascinating response from Doug Schoen. GIGOT: “Briefly, can Fetterman win a Democratic primary in 2028?” SCHOEN: “No, he cannot. He knows that. Democrats know that. That's why I think him going to do that cameo at the convention is a “crossing the Rubicon” for him, meaning that even if the Democrats win by one seat, my prediction would be [Fetterman] changes parties.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, September 14th, in the year of our Lord 2026.
