Nigerian Muslims killed 13 Christians including three pregnant mothers

Morning Star News reports that Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed 13 Christians in central Nigeria on May 8.

Unbelievably, the gunmen killed three pregnant women. They also injured dozens of Christians and displaced hundreds more. Such attacks are common in Nigeria’s Plateau State.

A leader at Evangelical Church Winning All commented on the recent killings of Christians. He said, “They were martyrs whose lives were claimed by the ongoing genocide against Christians in Nigeria. They died exactly where they chose to stand in the line of duty, lamps burning, voices lifted, refusing to abandon the post God had given them.”

In Revelation 2:10-11, Jesus said, “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. … He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”

Top ISIS leader killed in northeast Nigeria

U.S. and Nigerian forces killed a top ISIS leader in northeastern Nigeria over the weekend.

Abu-Bilal al-Minuki was the second-in-command of the Islamic State. The terrorist planned many attacks and hostage events, especially attacks on Christians.

On Truth Social, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote, “He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans. With his removal, ISIS’s global operation is greatly diminished.”

Texas Children’s Hospital ended transgender surgeries last week

In the United States, Texas Children’s Hospital agreed to end its transgender operations on minors last week. The Department of Justice, in coordination with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, secured the historic settlement.

The hospital agreed to pay $10 million in damages for performing mutilating procedures on children. Five doctors at the hospital lost their jobs as part of the settlement.

Texas Children’s Hospital will now establish the first-ever de-transition clinic. The clinic will provide care for the victims of transgender drugs and surgeries.

Trump created $1.7 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund

The Trump administration created a $1.7 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” this week.

The fund would compensate Americans who faced unjust investigations and prosecutions by the Biden Justice Department.

Listen to comments from President Donald Trump.

TRUMP: “This is reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated. It's anti-weaponization. They've been weaponized,. They've been, in some cases, imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn't have. They've gone bankrupt. Their lives have been destroyed, and they turn out to be right. I mean, it was a terrible period of time in the history of our country.”

37% of U.S. adults say religion is gaining influence in American life

A new survey from Pew Research asked Americans what they think about religion in government and public life.

The survey found that 37 percent of U.S. adults say religion is gaining influence in American life. That’s up 19 percentage points over the last two years. And just over half of Americans have a positive view of religion’s influence.

Also, 17 percent of respondents say the federal government should declare Christianity the official religion of the U.S. That’s up from 13 percent in 2024.

Council of Nicaea affirmed doctrine of Trinity 1,700 years ago

And finally, this month marks the anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, over 1,700 years ago.

In late May A.D. 325, 300 Christian leaders convened in the city of Nicaea, located in modern-day Turkey.

The council dealt with the doctrine of the Trinity. In particular, the church at the time had to refute the heresy of Arianism. The heretical teaching denied that Jesus is fully and eternally divine.

The council went on to affirm the divinity of Christ in the Nicene Creed. It is recited by churches around the world to this day.

The creed says there is “one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom all things were made.”

John 1:1 and 4 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
