    22-year-old homeschool graduate denied from being Fremont firefighter; British Christian social worker penalized for Biblical views; Only 40% of French believe in God
    Sep 30 2026
    It’s Wednesday, September 30th, 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 Jonathan Clark Christian social worker penalized for Biblical views A social worker in the United Kingdom appeared in court on Monday to defend his religious freedom. As a Christian, Felix Ngole has expressed his Biblical views of marriage and sexuality. This cost him a job. Touchstone Leeds, a mental health charity, withdrew an offer of employment after it learned of his views. Ngole is challenging the decision in court as discrimination. He said, “I am determined to pursue this appeal and seek a clear and lasting precedent for Christian freedom.” In Luke 6:22-23, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed, your reward is great in Heaven.” Only 40 percent of French believe in God The European Centre for Law and Justice released a report on religion in France. The study found only four in 10 French people say they believe in God today, down from two-thirds in 1947. The historically Roman Catholic country is seeing a collapse of Catholicism. Only 46 percent of French people identify as Catholic. And just five percent attend Catholic Mass, down from 35 percent in 1960. Even as France secularizes, Evangelical Protestants are a growing share of the population. It’s estimated that a new evangelical church opens every ten days. Man gets 6 years for taking explosive devices to Mass Here in the United States, a New Jersey man was sentenced to nearly six years in prison on Monday for taking explosives to a church. Louis Geri was arrested outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, D.C. last year. He had over 100 homemade explosive devices. The cathedral was hosting the annual “Red Mass” that day. Supreme Court Justices and government officials have historically attended the service. However, on that day, no justices were present because of security concerns, noted the National Catholic Reporter. The Red Mass dates back many centuries and gets its name from the color of the liturgical vestments worn by the celebrants and the color of fire, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The mentally-ill man also carried a nine-page list of written demands, which included requests for hundreds of thousands of dollars, an expatriation flight to Japan, and that the Supreme Court remove Arizona from the United States and declare it a “foreign enemy.” Trump rolled back fuel efficiency requirements on cars The Trump administration rolled back fuel efficiency requirements for car manufacturers on Monday. Under the Biden administration, companies had to make cars two percent more fuel efficient every year. The Trump administration changed this to one percent more efficient every year. This would make new cars less expensive. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we have finally ended the illegal mandate that forced automakers to produce more expensive electric vehicles that American families didn’t want.” Federal Reserve raised interest rates The Federal Reserve raised interest rates earlier this month for the first time in over three years. The Fed increased its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point to a range of 3.75 to 4 percent. This will likely mean higher borrowing costs for credit cards and mortgages. The Fed stated, “Inflation remains elevated. Today's policy action will support a timelier return to the Committee's 2 percent goal.” The annual inflation rate was 3.4 percent last month. 22-year-old homeschool graduate denied from being Fremont firefighter And finally, Andrew Coates served as a volunteer firefighter at Fremont Fire Department over the past two years. He applied for a full-time position. But the city denied the application because his diploma came from a homeschool program. Nebraska’s Republican Governor Jim Pillen condemned the city’s action. He said, “We should be encouraging young leaders like Coates, not turning them away. My administration will be investigating ways to remedy this situation.” Coates appeared on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins heard on 800 radio stations last week. He said he’s received support from lots of homeschoolers. Listen. COATES: “The support has honestly been overwhelming. We've received support from homeschoolers, firefighters, churches, organizations just all over the world. I've actually been receiving letters in the mail from homeschool families that just want to stand and support us. It's really just overwhelming support.” He also asked for prayer in his case. COATES: “Be in prayer for us. Pray for a few things. Wisdom during this time that we would just be seeking God first. Clarity to be ...

  • Canadian doctors kill more people than American murderers do; U.S. Supreme Court affirms parental rights; Chinese communists shut down churches while Jinping in America

    Canadian doctors kill more people than American murderers do; U.S. Supreme Court affirms parental rights; Chinese communists shut down churches while Jinping in America
    Sep 29 2026
    It’s Tuesday, September 29th, 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 Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Chinese communists shut down churches while Jin ping in America While Chinese President Xi Jinping was visiting the United States, Communist police were still arresting pastors and shutting down churches in China. Pastors and church workers from Jiaquan Church in Beijing have been arrested in raids occurring over the last week. This follows another mass arrest of more members of the Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu in southwestern China. Send a polite, 4-sentence letter to the Chinese Ambassador to America, Xie Feng, urging him to tell the Communist party officials to stop arresting pastors and shutting down churches. Send it to the Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place NW, Washington, DC 20008. Supreme Court continues to affirm parental rights Over the past year, parental rights advocates are winning cases at the U.S. Supreme Court. By law, the state of California was requiring school officials to conceal information concerning children’s gender transitioning behavior from their parents. Thankfully, the high court struct down the law earlier in the year. In a separate ruling last June, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down another Maryland law that prohibited parents from opting their kids out of homosexual/transgender indoctrination classes, reported CBS News. Writing the majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito argued on the basis of religious rights. He wrote, “A government burdens the religious exercise of parents when it requires them to submit their children to instruction that poses ‘a very real threat of undermining’ the religious beliefs and practices that the parents wish to instill.” Ebola virus killed 4,000 people in Congo The World Health Organization reports 8,000 cases of Ebola in the latest outbreak in Congo, Africa — and now, almost 4,000 deaths. This is the worst outbreak of this deadly disease since 2013. Mortgage rates at 7.5% The U.S. 30-year mortgage rate hit 7.5% yesterday, reports Mortgage News Daily. That’s the highest rate since December 2000. Trump criticized United Nations President Donald Trump took to the stage at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week, heavily criticizing the organization, but also praising it in some aspects as well. Trump stated, “There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation.” He added that the United States “totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control artificial intelligence.” The president also said, “The United Nations has great, great potential” and he encouraged the U.S. Ambassador to the UN “to implement the most sweeping UN reforms in history.” Canadian doctors kill more people than American murderers do Canada now kills more people by "assisted suicide" than the United States does by homicide. United States Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah detailed this fact in a now viral post on X, stating, “State-administered death is now more common in Canada than gun homicide is in the U.S. That didn’t happen by accident.” He also said, “The intersection of assisted suicide and socialized medicine results in state-led horrors, treating the young, old, infirm, and distressed as disposable people. We must never allow this barbarity to spread in America.” Jeremiah 8:3 gives a stark warning. The Lord of hosts said, “Then death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them.” Gen Z more religious than older generations A new update from the Harris Report revealed that Gen Z is more religious than older generations. Per the report, “Gen Z is not abandoning faith, they are the generation most likely to identify as religious. Gen Z is not just identifying with faith, they are actively practicing it. For Gen Z, spirituality is one way to build agency in an uncertain future.” However, many in Gen Z continue to observe harmful religious practices, and dabble with the occult and manifestations. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Planned Parenthood gave Joe Biden their baby killing award And finally, abortion giant Planned Parenthood handed out its 2026 Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award to former President Joe Biden, one of the biggest supporters of abortion in United States history, reported LifeNews. Biden recalled his historic murderous work. Referring to Sonny Sloan, the late president of Delaware’s Planned Parenthood, Biden said this. BIDEN: “In the wake of the Dobbs decision, as president, ...

    4,216 Nigerian Christians killed since January 1st; High school students less likely to be perverted; George Whitefield preached 18,000 times to 10 million people
    Oct 1 2026
    It’s Thursday, October 1st, 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 Jonathan Clark 4,216 Nigerian Christians killed since January 1st Equipping the Persecuted released a report this month, documenting the ongoing slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, Africa. Over 4,216 Christians were killed in the West African nation between January 1 and September 8 of this year. Most of the violence against Christian farming communities appears to be religiously motivated. It’s largely carried out through Islamic militant networks. Violence has also displaced over five million Christians and destroyed over 600 Christian communities. Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. 1 Corinthians 12:26 says, “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.” Euthanasia deaths surging in Victoria, Australia Euthanasia deaths are surging in the Australian state of Victoria. A government report found there were 512 deaths by euthanasia and assisted suicide over the last year. That’s up from 389 deaths the previous year. A total of 2,188 people have died this way since the state of Victoria started allowing it in 2019. United States completed withdrawal from Iraq The United States completed its military withdrawal from Iraq yesterday. Listen to the previous related comments from President Donald Trump on July 14th at the White House. TRUMP: “Well, we don't think we need the military there anymore. It's a very big operation. What we do have is the oil companies are all going in now, and they're doing partnerships with Iraq, and they're getting along very well. The relationship is a whole big relationship where we don't need the military there. We're there to help them. We're there to protect them, if need be.” The U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, deposed Saddam Hussein, and occupied the country until 2011. American forces returned in 2014 to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. The U.S. military, along with Iraqi forces, defeated ISIS in 2017. Over 4,400 Americans died in Iraq since 2003. And an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians were killed during the same period. U.S. economy did better than expected The U.S. economy grew better than expected during the second quarter of this year. The Gross Domestic Product increased at an annual rate of 2.2 percent from April to June, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Economists had only expected 1.5 percent growth in the GDP. Judge allows cross to remain in Los Angeles A federal appeals court recently protected religious symbols in Los Angeles from being removed. Since 1929, a 10-foot-tall wooden cross has stood in the historic heart of Los Angeles. A local resident sued to remove the cross and keep the city from putting up a nativity each year. The Ninth Circuit court of Appeals rejected this effort on Monday. High school students less likely to be perverted The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released their Youth Risk Survey. The study found students from 9th to 12th grade are less likely to identify as homosexual or bisexual than they were two years ago. Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, said, “That really does look like a free fall. The decline appears to be driven almost entirely by girls.” Young men most likely to attend church more A new survey from Barna Research found that one in three young adults say they’re attending church more often than a year ago. Young men are among the most likely to say their attendance has increased. Prayer is the top reason young people give for attending church followed by worshipping Jesus with other people, experiencing joy in Jesus, and understanding what the Bible has to say. Psalm 122:1 says, “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.’” George Whitefield preached 18,000 times to 10 million people in person And finally, this week is the anniversary of the death of George Whitefield. The English preacher was born in 1714 in Gloucester. After attending college at Oxford, he would become an itinerate preacher across Britain and the American colonies. His preaching was an important part of the religious revival known as the First Great Awakening. He often preached outside to thousands, reaching many who never attended church. It’s believed he preached at least 18,000 times and reached about ten million listeners. By the age of 55, he continued to preach despite poor health. He gave his last sermon in a field in Exeter, New Hampshire. He died the next day on September 30, 1770. In Acts 20:24, the Apostle Paul said, “I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.” Close And ...

  • Attempted plane crash thwarted by heroic pilot; Trump announced 1 million getting $500 ObamaCare rebate checks; 12-year-old girl gathers 30,326 diapers for needy families

    Attempted plane crash thwarted by heroic pilot; Trump announced 1 million getting $500 ObamaCare rebate checks; 12-year-old girl gathers 30,326 diapers for needy families
    Oct 2 2026
    It’s Friday, October 2nd, 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 Algeria Muslims have forced Christians into an internal exile Following Algeria, Africa’s closure of nearly all Evangelical churches in waves of repression that began in 2017, Christians have been forced underground in what they describe as an internal exile, reports Morning Star News. Christians in the 99-percent Muslim country gather discreetly in homes, garages or under olive trees, isolating many who are deprived of regular spiritual guidance. Some turn to the internet and social media, where heresies proliferate, thus fostering internal divisions, the spread of false teaching, and the rise of conflicts. Despite such challenges, some Christians express gratitude to God, viewing this period as a spiritual cleansing to build stronger and more mature churches. One Christian leader said, “We celebrate Holy Communion and baptisms privately, and dedicate significant resources to charitable aid, in accordance with Biblical commandments.” He added, “The situation is undeniably difficult because we are deprived of fellowship. But God’s work must not stop. We desperately lack Bibles and Christian books, as customs officials systematically confiscate them even when friends bring them from the West.” Galatians 6:9 states, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” The number of Christians in Algeria is estimated at about 150,000 people which is 0.3 percent of the total population of 48 million. Algeria ranked 20th on Open Doors’ 2026 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian. Attempted plane crash thwarted by heroic pilot On September 30th, a co-pilot stabbed his captain and attempted to crash a flight bound for Israel from the United Arab Emirates that was carrying 174 people. Passengers, most of them Israelis, feared for their lives as the FlyDubai aircraft dropped from 33,000 feet to 17,000 feet in a matter of two minutes, reports the Associated Press. Amazingly, according to The Guardian, the wounded pilot, Smit Machchhar from India, was lying on the floor of the FlyDubai flight deck, covered in blood, when he managed to click the release to open the cockpit door, allowing passengers and crew to gain entry, overpower his attacker, an Omani national, and save 174 passengers onboard. Dr Shota Musaev, a dentist, was among those who ran to the cockpit. He told CNN they found the attacker on the floor on top of the pilot, stabbing him. Describing the heroic pilot, the dentist said, “He was covered in cuts – his head, his hands – they were practically sliced open, almost severed in two. … He had lost a lot of blood and was in bad shape.” Providentially, some of the passengers were pilots, who gained control of the aircraft, which they landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia an hour later on Wednesday. It’s still unclear what motivated the attack, which came just days before the anniversary of Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack on Israel that triggered conflict across the Middle East. It has rekindled anxieties about airline security and focused attention on risks associated with flight crews. Aviation experts said they were surprised, frankly, that the plane did not crash after a descent so extreme that most of the rudder was ripped off the tail. After landing, Saudi authorities arrested the co-pilot. Homeland Security expert described incident as terrorist attack on Israel Appearing on CNN, former Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Juliette Kayyem offered this analysis. KAYYEM: “This is the biggest vulnerability in airline safety since 9/11. We have secured the cockpits; almost impossible to penetrate. But there are two people in there, and if one of them has a nefarious intent, it is almost impossible to stop that. “One has to begin with the potential that this was targeted against Israeli passengers specifically. Given the flight plan, this was a co-pilot who intended on crashing the plane. Given who was in the plane, intelligence agencies will be starting with the premise that this was a terror incident.” Trump announced 1 million getting $500 ObamaCare rebate checks Here in the United States, President Donald Trump made a surprise announcement which will delight one million Americans, reports USA Today. TRUMP: “Our administration has discovered that under Sleepy Joe Biden, American households buying health insurance through the Obamacare exchange -- which is a disaster, and the www.healthcare.gov -- were massively overcharged. “To put it mildly, they were forced to pay excessive fees totaling at least $500 million. The last administration knew about this and they studied it, but they kept the money. They just kept it. They never let anyone know. “Our ...

    Talarico’s heretical pastor: He’s lying about true beliefs to get elected; Netherlands euthanized 2-year-old child; New York teen raised money to educate 10 kids in Ghana, Africa
    Oct 5 2026
    It’s Monday, October 5th, 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 Chinese pastor detained for “organizing illegal religious activities” Pastor An Yankui was at his home when Chinese Communist officials arrested him at 10:30 a.m. on September 29th for an investigation on suspicion of “organizing illegal religious activities,” reports International Christian Concern. Yankui is the pastor of Taiyuan Xuncheng Reformed Church, an unregistered Protestant church, and has a history of arrests for the same allegation of “organizing illegal religious activities.” In 2020, authorities detained him for 15 days and fined him. Since then, authorities have arrested him several additional times for various reasons. Authorities have also conducted multiple arrests and raids on the Taiyuan church throughout the years — one raid recently happened during an October 2025 worship service when the Communists arrested 11 churchgoers. Write a polite, 4-sentence note to the Chinese Ambassador to America, Xie Feng, urging him to release Pastor An Yankui for simply practicing his Christian faith. Send it to: the Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place NW, Washington, DC 20008. Netherlands euthanized 2-year-old child Netherlands officials just killed a 2-year-old child. It’s the first case of euthanasia on a child under 12 in accordance with a new law drafted in 2024. Euthanasia is allowable on minor children in this heathen country, where 58% of the people call themselves non-religious, when leftist doctors determine that the child is suffering unbearably with no prospect of improvement, and for whom doctors conclude there is no reasonable alternative to ending their suffering. The child, whose gender and name have not been released, was born prematurely at 26 weeks of gestation, suffered brain damage, and was diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy and infantile epileptic spasms syndrome. It is also likely the that the child's vision was impaired. Sadly, the parents asked for the state to kill their child. Some medical experts asserted that “reasonable alternative solutions existed, such as palliative options and pharmacological alternatives that could potentially lead to better seizure control.” But the parents refused palliative care, and sought another opinion to be freed from the responsibility of caring for their special needs toddler. Talarico’s heretical pastor: He’s lying about true beliefs to get elected James Talarico, the Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate from Texas, famously made this heretical claim about God. TALARICO: “God is both masculine and feminine, and everything in between. God is non-binary.” Not surprisingly, his home church, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas, passes out The Inclusive Bible that changes any reference to God the Father or Jesus the Son to more politically correct terms. Rev. Babs Miller, a self-proclaimed lesbian at St. Andrews, was captured in an undercover video, claiming that while Talarico has walked that claim back, he still believes it. UNDERCOVER REPORTER: “People are attacking [James] Talarico for saying that God is non-binary.” REV. MILLER: “Duh!” UNDERCOVER REPORTER: “Yeah, that’s literally what He is!” REV. MILLER: “Yeah.” UNDERCOVER REPORTER: “He [Talarico] went on Fox News and, like, walked that back. Did you, did you see that?” REV. MILLER: “Yeah. He's getting some advice that I don't think he should be following.” UNDERCOVER REPORTER: “Yeah, because that's why, that's frankly, for one, something that attracted me to this church was like …” REV. MILLER: “and I can guarantee you that once he, [Talarico], gets elected, he'll change his tune back to where he was.” UNDERCOVER REPORTER: “Okay, but he has to kind of play this game.” REV. MILLER: “Yes, that's, that's what his campaign has convinced him of is that the Democratic Party is backing off on their stances on trans and all of this. And so, his staff is encouraging him to kind of do the same thing.” UNDERCOVER REPORTER: “Mmm.” REV. MILLER: “I think it's bad advice personally, but if it helps him win, okay.” James Talarico’s pastor rejects the atonement of Christ The heresy of James Talarico’s spiritual leaders does not end there. Rev. Babs Miller [of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas] dismisses the orthodox Christian doctrine of Christ’s substitutionary atonement for our sins on the cross. Listen. REV. MILLER: “Jesus was put on that cross not to save us.” UNDERCOVER REPORTER: “Yes.” REV. MILLER: “Jesus was put on that cross because Rome hated Him.” UNDERCOVER REPORTER: “Mmm.” REV. MILLER: “and they thought He was a threat to their domination of that area.” UNDERCOVER REPORTER: “Yeah.” REV. MILLER: “and so they killed Him.” ...

    William Tyndale martyred for translating Bible into English; Former Speaker of the House died in disgrace; Trump’s shuttering of USAID might have helped Bolsonaro win
    Oct 6 2026
    It’s Tuesday, October 6th, 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 Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Bible severely restricted in 39 countries The Bible is restricted in countries affecting 500 million Christians today, because of government controls, extremist violence, and family and community pressure. Printing and distribution of the Bible is prohibited or severely restricted in 39 countries. According to the Bible Access Initiative, importing Bibles faces this level of restriction in 38 countries, storing it in 37 countries, and personal ownership of the Bible in 34 countries. In particular, Islamic countries, communist countries, as well as India and Myanmar, severely restrict access to Bibles. William Tyndale martyred for translating Bible into English Four hundred and ninety years ago, on October 6th 1536, English officials murdered English reformer William Tyndale. Tyndale translated and published the first mass-produced copy of the New Testament in the English language. When a cleric commented that the common person should not have access to the Bible, Tyndale responded: “If God spare my life, ere many years pass, I will cause a boy that driveth the plow shall know more of the Scripture than thou dost.” Before Tyndale’s execution, his last words were: “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes.” He was then strangled and burned at the stake. There are an estimated one billion English Bibles in the world today — as well as another 7 billion Bibles printed in at least 1,860 languages. Remarkably, some portion of the Bible is now available in 4,190 languages. Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that, “the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Brazil elected Jair Bolsonaro’s son Flavio Brazil’s national election over the weekend signaled a definite move to the right for that country. The previous president’s son, Flávio Bolsonaro, received 47 percent to Lula de Silva's 45 percent, Also, conservative parties have cumulatively captured 60 percent of the national senate seats. That’s the best performance for the right wing in forty years. Trump’s shuttering of USAID might have helped Bolsonaro win President Donald Trump’s shuttering of the U.S. Agency for International Development, cutting off its funding, may have had a contributing influence on South American elections. For example, USAID funded leftist programs in Brazil to the tune of $138 million over a 4-year period, reports Time Magazine. That’s about three times what Brazilian presidential candidates spend on their campaigns every four years. In recent years, more South American countries are moving to the right. Ecuador re-elected Daniel Noboa in 2025.Bolivia and Chile moved right in 2025.Colombia and Peru elected right-of-center presidents in 2026.And Flávio Bolsonaro, who is heavily supported by the evangelical population in Brazil, has promised to issue a declaration that Brazil “belongs to Jesus Christ.” Spain’s election animated by housing costs Spain is heading for another national election after hundreds of thousands of citizens protested in fifty Spanish cities over the weekend. Their concern is housing costs, reports The Guardian. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for the election of a new government by the end of November, reports the Associated Press. America needs more nurses and home health care aides The US Bureau of Labor Statistics is projecting a market increase of 847,000 home health and personal care aides by 2035. In addition, the bureau noted a need for 200,000 registered nurses, and 138,000 nurse practitioners. The medical field will enjoy the greatest increase in job growth, by a significant percentage. But the biggest news in employment is this from WolfsStreet.com. U.S. governments at all levels have shed 17,000 jobs in August -- mostly at local governments. And private-sector employers added 46,000 jobs. Former Speaker of the House died in disgrace Former Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives Dennis Hastert is dead at 84. Hastert claimed a Christian conversion experience as a teenager in his autobiography and regarded Christian faith as part of the formation of his character. He attended the evangelical Wheaton College and sat on the board of Wheaton’s Center for Economics, Government, and Public Policy. Hastert served 15 months in prison before he died, for financial irregularities relating to hush money payments, reported CNN. Plus, he admitted in court that he had previously abused an unspecified number of boys. Galatians 6:7-8 speaks truth to these things. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to ...

    Oct 7 2026
    It’s Wednesday, October 7th, 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 Jonathan Clark Murders of Nigerians Christians leads to curfew Officials in Nigeria imposed a curfew after more Christians were killed last month. Pastor Samuel Nandi was killed on his way to church on Sunday, September 20. This occurred in the country’s central Plateau State. In addition, Gunfire and attacks were reported across the region during the week leading up to the pastor’s death. International Christian Concern documents at least 27 Christians were killed in the attacks. The government responded by imposing a dusk-to-dawn curfew in parts of the state until security agencies could bring stability. Nigeria is ranked 7th on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of the most dangerous countries to be a Christian. Christian radio station reaches believers in N Korea, China, Russia Far East Broadcasting Company-Korea is celebrating 70 years of Christian radio ministry, reports Christian Daily Korea. The network is based in South Korea. It reaches underground believers across North Korea, China, Russia, and Mongolia. For example, North Korean Christians secretly listen to sermons and hymns on radios with “blankets pulled over their heads.” Far East Broadcasting Company-Korea first aired on December 23, 1956 from Incheon, South Korea. Now, it operates 15 radio stations and 14 relay stations across the country. G7 countries tap oil reserves to lower gas prices The United States and its allies are tapping into their oil and fuel reserves to combat soaring gas prices. Member countries in the Group of Seven made the announcement on Friday. Those nations include Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. G7 countries agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil reserves over the next four months. Oil prices started to fall after the decision. War Secretary Hegseth announced Office of Religious Affairs Here in the United States, War Secretary Pete Hegseth gave his “State of the Force” address last Wednesday. Hegseth announced the creation of the Office of Religious Affairs. The office will support the spiritual health of military personnel. Listen. HEGSETH: “Our national motto is, after all, ‘In God We Trust.’ Today we reaffirm that trust. We're placing spiritual health at the same level as physical health. Our department is, you might say, putting on the full armor of God, because while we wage physical war, we all know the real battle is spiritual. God is good, evil is not, and America's military must understand the difference.” Hegseth quoted Psalm 33:12 in the address. That verse says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” Treasury Dept. saved $175 million by cutting off the dead Fox News reports the U.S. Treasury Department saved millions of taxpayer dollars during the fiscal year 2026. The department blocked $175 million in federal payments that would have gone to deceased recipients. This is part of the Trump administration’s effort to screen for improper payments. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated, “In the past year alone, Treasury built and deployed new safeguards that verified more than $3.7 trillion in federal payments and increased Do Not Pay access from 4 percent of programs to 99 percent, ensuring agencies have access to the data they need.” Pro-life pregnancy center moves into former Planned Parenthood And finally, a pro-life pregnancy center in Gainesville, Florida is celebrating its expansion into a former Planned Parenthood building. SIRA, the faith-based pregnancy center, operated next to the abortion facility. The Planned Parenthood location closed in June. And SIRA purchased the property last month, reports Main Street Daily News. Executive Director Kathy Gratto said, “God always has a plan. We have hopes and desires and missions and goals. We pray, and we wait, and in the waiting, our faith grows, and God continues to reveal Himself. And as you can see, He’s still the God of miracles.” Psalm 37:34 says, “Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, October 7th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

    3-year anniversary of Hamas’ attack on Israel; American churches fight for free speech in pulpit; Prison Fellowship celebrates 50 years of ministry
    Oct 8 2026
    It’s Thursday, October 8th, 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 Jonathan Clark 3-year anniversary of Hamas’ attack on Israel Yesterday marked three years since Hamas Muslim terrorists attacked Israel. Hamas launched the attack from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel on October 7, 2023. The Islamic militants killed about 1,200 people and took over 250 hostages. Over 80 of the hostages did not survive. The last living hostages were returned last October after 843 days of captivity. Since the attack, Israel has carried out bombardments and ground operations in Gaza. At least 74,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in the conflict. Israeli air strike killed 2 Palestinian Christians An Israeli air strike struck an apartment building in Gaza City on Saturday, killing two Palestinian Christian women. The women had served at a shelter affiliated with Holy Family Catholic Church. It’s the only Catholic parish in Gaza. The leader of the parish stated, “We have had 62 deaths: 62 Catholic and Orthodox Christians who have died in this war. Of those 62 people, 25 have died violent deaths from bombardments or army snipers, and the majority died where they had taken refuge here, at Holy Family Church.” American churches fight for free speech in pulpit Here in the United States, churches and Christian organizations are fighting for free speech in the pulpit. The National Religious Broadcasters, Intercessors for America, and two Texas churches are challenging the Johnson Amendment. While he was a U.S. Democratic senator from Texas, Lyndon B. Johnson introduced the provision in 1954 before he became president. The law prohibits 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, including houses of worship, from endorsing or opposing political candidates. Troy Miller with the National Religious Broadcasters spoke to CBN News about the case. Listen. MILLER: “This was the original intent of separation of church and state -- that the government was not going to interfere with religious conscience, with the will of pastors and church leadership. And so we think this law, this amendment that [Senator Lyndon] Johnson put in place, quite honestly, to silence churches and other 501(c)3 opposition that he had during his Senate campaign, we think it needs to go.” Psalm 119:46 says, “I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.” U.S. trade deficit surged to $105 billion The U.S. trade deficit surged in August to $105.6 billion. That’s up from $79.8 billion in November 2024 before President Donald Trump began his second term. Christopher Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, told Reuters, “Trade tariffs have done nothing to reduce America's reliance on the import of foreign-produced goods. The cost of American labor is simply too high to produce goods here cheap enough for consumers to even think about purchasing.” 100th city to ban abortion Snyder, Texas recently became the 100th city in the U.S. to ban abortion. Officials unanimously adopted a Sanctuary City for the Unborn ordinance on Monday. Mayor Pro-Tem Sarah Jamison said, “I was proud to cast my vote in support of this ordinance and of Snyder becoming the 100th city in the nation to take this stand. As council members, we have a responsibility to act within the authority given to our city and to consider lawful safeguards that protect the most vulnerable among us.” Email a 2-sentence thank you note to Sarah at sjamison@snydertx.gov Better yet, join me and send a physical thank you note to Sarah Jamison, City of Snyder, 1925 24th Street, Snyder, TX 79549. Get your kids to write one as well. Young Evangelicals more conservative than religious peers Young Evangelicals are more religious and conservative than young people in other religious traditions. This is based on analysis of Pew Research data recently published by Professor Ryan Burge with Washington University. The analysis found that 49 percent of Gen Z Evangelicals attend church weekly. That number fell to 22 percent among Mainline Protestant youths. And it was only 20 percent among Catholic young people. Similarly, young Evangelicals were more conservative. Forty-six percent identified as politically conservative compared to 28 percent of Mainline youth, and 17 percent of Catholic youth. Prison Fellowship celebrates 50 years of ministry And finally, this year marks 50 years of ministry by Prison Fellowship. Charles “Chuck” Colson founded the organization in 1976 to serve people affected by incarceration. Colson himself had been incarcerated for Watergate-related charges during President Richard Nixon’s administration. Colson experienced a mid-life conversion to Christianity which led to his work in prison ministry, captured in his page-turning books Born Again and Life Sentence. The U.S. Senate passed a resolution last month, honoring ...
