Nicaragua has shut down 250 Protestant groups
Roman Catholic Churches have faced persecution in Nicaragua under the regime of Daniel Ortega.
The dictator is increasingly targeting Protestant churches as well.
The central American country shut down over 250 Protestant groups in recent years. Earlier this year, authorities imprisoned 11 Evangelical pastors associated with Mountain Gateway, a ministry that drew thousands to its Christ-centered events.
Nicaragua is ranked 30th on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.
Israeli Jews are asking for New Testaments
Jews for Jesus reports more people of the Jewish faith are seeking New Testaments.
The nonprofit offers the New Testament to Israelis for free. The group sent over 1,200 New Testaments to Israelis since the Muslim terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023.
Aaron Abramson, the Executive Director of Jews for Jesus, told The Christian Post that the terrorist attack has prompted many Israelis to have spiritual questions. He said, “Israel has prided itself in its ability to defend itself, so [the Hamas attack] was a real blow to that for people. … If you can't put your trust in … a military solution … then where do you put your trust? … And I think that's why a lot of people were starting to sort of dig into those spiritual questions.”
In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Gentile.”
Supreme Court okay with Biden’s censorship of Facebook
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the Biden administration yesterday in a social media case.
Multiple states and social media users accused the government of pressuring media companies, like Facebook, to censor content about COVID-19 and the 2020 presidential election.
Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch ruled against the Biden administration. In the dissenting opinion, Justice Alito warned, “If a coercive campaign is carried out with enough sophistication, it may get by. That is not a message this Court should send.”
Vermont’s crisis pregnancy centers allowed to speak the truth
A federal court in Vermont is allowing pro-life pregnancy centers to continue their lawsuit against the state.
The centers are challenging a state law that censors their free speech. The law only applies to pregnancy centers, which could face fines of up $10,000 if the state’s attorney general believes their advertisements are misleading.
Julia Payne with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Pregnancy centers should be free to serve women and offer the support they need without fear of unjust government punishment. As our case continues, we will urge the court to support the rights of pregnancy centers that provide these critical care services.”
70% of Americans approve of homosexual faux marriage
A new survey from Gallup found nearly 70% of Americans believe that faux homosexual marriage should be legal. And 64% believe that sexually perverted lifestyles are morally acceptable.
However, support for these issues is plateauing and even declining slightly. This is driven by a drop in support for such lifestyles by Republicans.
Forty-six percent of Republicans support such lifestyles now, down from 55% in 2021. The drop in support comes as Democrats have supported sexually perverted lifestyles for children through the schools and medical industry.
Low home inventory and high interest rates drives prices higher
The National Association of Realtors reports the sale of previously owned homes is down 2.8% in May, compared to last year. Existing home sales are now at a 30-year low.
