Muslim Ugandan beat wife and kids for trusting Christ
A Muslim man in Uganda beat his wife and two children last month for putting their faith in Christ.
Kulusumu Namulondo had to be hospitalized along with her two children, ages twelve and nine. Her husband proceeded to demolish the building of the church she had visited.
Namulondo described the attack to Morning Star News. She said, “My husband hit my son with the walking stick several times, and he soon fell down screaming and wailing in great pain . . . While my son was on the ground, my husband started beating up me and my daughter. Thank God, neighbors arrived, and my husband fled away.”
In Luke 18:29-30, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”
Help victims of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and Cuba
Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica on Tuesday as a Category 5 storm.
Melissa weakened to Category 3 before making landfall in Cuba yesterday.
The hurricane is one of the strongest ones on record in the Atlantic, killing dozens of people across the Caribbean.
Christian charity organizations are mobilizing aid for victims of the hurricane. Samaritan’s Purse announced it is “already preparing to respond as needed — with disaster relief specialists, materials, and aircraft all on standby.” You can give towards their relief effort through a link in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com.
Trump, Cruz and Johnson urge centrist Democrats to re-open gov’t
The Democrats in the U.S. Senate have now shut the U.S. government for 30 days, as they attempt to undo the provisions of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill which ensured that only U.S. citizens would get taxpayer-funded health care.
President Trump didn’t pull any punches.
TRUMP: “Today, I'm calling on every Senate Democrat to stop the madness, to let our country get back. In the greatest moment in the history of our country, in terms of wealth, in terms of job creation, and in terms of investment coming in, these guys go on strike. It's really a shame!
“So, I'm asking them to be smart. It's not working. They're getting killed in the polls. The public understands what they're doing. They're doing the wrong thing.”
Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas explained that the Democrats have failed to stop the government shutdown.
CRUZ: “Thirteen times now the Republicans have voted to open the government to pay the federal workers 13 times. The Democrats’ party line have voted no, keep it shut down. Keep it shut down. Keep it shut down.
“And at this point it's not even clear they have an exit ramp. I think they're going to continue this another week or two, and then at some point, seven or eight Democrats are going to have some sense come into them. I think it is very likely to be retiring Democrats who will never again face a primary election. So, they're more insulated from the crazy left wing base.
“But we are watching performative art. We're not watching public policy. We're not watching elected officials. This is all about political saving Chuck Schumer's rear end.”
And House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, described Senator Chuck Schumer as irredeemable.
JOHNSON: “We have very important work to do here, and that's why we're pleading with them. Look, I think Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are irredeemable at this point. I don't think they'll be able to tell [New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran] Mondami, [a socialist], in New York and his disciples that they voted to open the government.
“I've given up on the leadership. So, we're trying to appeal to a handful of moderates or centrists
