South African government regulating churches
Earlier this month, the South African government agency, known as the Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Rights Commission, launched a committee to regulate churches in the country.
The new committee will most likely make determinations as to “what qualifies as a religion,” who may be recognized as a religious leader, and where churches may worship. The concern is also that this governmental power would force churches to come under State-approved umbrella bodies.
The nation’s churches have scheduled a march to the Parliament building in Cape Town, the capital of South Africa, on November 13th.
South Africa rejects self-defense as reason to own a gun
The South African Parliament is also considering additional restrictions on firearms to remove “self-defense” as a valid reason to own a gun.
This would remove meaningful protection for families, farms, and churches from violent criminals, in one of the most violent nations on Earth.
The Communists and the left-leaning African National Congress have 51% control of the South African parliament.
Turmoil in Chinese Communist Party
The Chinese Communist government is still in turmoil.
At this moment, 38 of the 205 members of the central committee failed to appear for the big Plenum session last week. Of the 33 generals on the Committee, 22 were missing.
Trump to meet with Chinese president Xi Jinping on Asian tour
President Donald Trump met with Japan’s newly elected Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi yesterday.
This week, he will move on to high level meetings in South Korea and China, with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday.
The White House announced that President Trump has signed historic peace deals with Cambodia and Thailand, trade deals with Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, and minerals deals with Malaysia and Thailand.
Javier Milei’s mid-term election triumph in Argentina
The results for Argentina’s mid-term elections are in. And Javier Milei’s Libertarian Party crushed it, reports Reuters.
Now, Milei’s party has 41% control of the legislature which is up from 26% in 2023. The left wing party dropped off from 44% to 32% which is an 11% decline.
Milei’s agenda will have stronger legislative backing for more reforms in tax reduction and deregulation of business for the country.
Bolivia rejects socialism
And, by God’s sovereign order of things, Bolivia has a new president as of last week, reports CBS News.
Rodrigo Paz is more centrist — a change after 20 years of socialism in this mountainous country of South America.
Not surprisingly, socialist countries like Venezuela and Bolivia are the poorest countries in all of South America.
King Charles III glorified sodomy
King Charles III of England glorified homosexuality yesterday by placing flowers at a newly constructed memorial to homosexuals serving in the nation’s military, reports The Times.
Prince Charles’s mentor and uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, served as Britain’s Chief of Defense in the 1960s, and was reported in 2019 as “a homosexual with a perversion for young boys.”
King Charles III joined Pope Leo XIV for worship
King Charles III made other news headlines last week, when he participated in a public worship service with the Roman Catholic Pope Leo XIV.
This was the first time a reigning British monarch joined the Pope for such events since the Reformation.
King Charles and his wife, Camilla, sat on golden thrones under Michelangelo's "Last Judgment" fresco in the Sistine Chapel for the ecumenical service.
Joel 3 reminds us of God’s judgement. “Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; for the wine
