And, perhaps most uniquely, you will often hear applicable Scriptures paired with the stories themselves. It’s part Paul Harvey, part R.C. Sproul. You’ll get hooked to the most definitively Christian overview of the news including politics, pop culture, the church, and tracing God’s sovereign hand in the affairs of man.© 2022 The WorldView in 5 Minutes Ciencias Sociales Cristianismo Espiritualidad Ministerio y Evangelismo Política y Gobierno

    Dr. James Dobson died at 89, White Communist protestors don’t speak for black DC residents, Russia bombs U.S. factory in Ukraine

    It’s Friday, August 22nd, A.D. 2025. 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 Amnesty International says 11 Christians railroaded in Libya Amnesty International has urged Libya to overturn the convictions of 11 Christians after they had received “grossly unfair” trials, reports International Christian Concern. The human rights organization said the trials of the nine Libyan men, a Libyan woman, and a Pakistani man were “marred by egregious violations of due process and international human rights standards.” Like Paul and Barnabas in Acts 15:26, these people “have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” According to Open Doors, Libya is the fourth worst country worldwide for the persecution of believers. Russia bombs U.S. factory in Ukraine -- one of war’s largest attacks Russia struck an American electronics manufacturer in Ukraine with cruise missiles overnight in one of the largest aerial attacks of the war so far, reports The Telegraph. The Ukrainian air force said some 574 drones and 40 missiles were fired overnight, primarily targeting western regions of the country – far from the battlefield’s front line in the east and south of the country. Supreme Court empowers Trump to cut $783 million in DEI funding On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court gave President Donald Trump the green-light to axe DEI and gender ideology grants at the National Institutes of Health, reports NBC News. In a narrow 5-4 decision, the court ruled that President Trump can cut $783 million in federal funding for “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” as well gender ideology research. Florida news director Eric Daughtery tweeted, “Chief Justice JOHN ROBERTS joined the liberals and DEI Justice Ketanji [Brown] Jackson in trying [unsuccessfully] to block President Trump from ending woke grants at the NIH.” Miller: White Communist protestors don’t speak for crime-targeted black DC residents On Wednesday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller joined Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at Union Station in Washington, D.C. Miller railed against what he called “stupid white hippies” who were protesting the federal crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital, saying that they did not represent the crime-weary black DC residents, reports The Hill.com. MILLER: “There are residents who have lived in Washington, DC their entire lives. Their parents lived here, their grandparents lived here, and they have lived for generations in intolerable conditions of crime and decay. “I moved to the city 20 years ago. There are places where I've seen graffiti that has been untouched for two decades. There are homeless encampments that have made it impossible for families to use public parks and public recreation for as long as I've lived here. There are hundreds of residents of this city who are shot in street violence every single year, making it one of the most violent cities on planet Earth. And, for too long, 99% of this city has been terrorized by 1% of the city.” Miller took issue with the liberal protestors. MILLER: “The voices that you hear out there, those crazy communists, they have no roots. They have no connections to the city. They have no families they are raising the city. They have no one that they are sending to school in this city. They have no jobs in this city. They have no connections to this community at all. They're the ones who've been advocating for the 1% -- the criminals, the killers, the rapists, the drug dealers. “And I'm glad they're here today because me, [Defense Secretary] Pete [Hegseth] and the Vice President [J.D. Vance], are all going to leave here and, inspired by them, we're going to add thousands more resources to this city, to get the criminals and the gang members out of here. We're going to dismantle those networks. “And we're going to prove that a city can serve for the law-abiding citizens who live there. We are not going to let the communists destroy a great American city, let alone the nation's capital.” CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings summarized the progress of Trump’s federal intervention to lower crime in the District of Columbia. JENNINGS: “Our nation's capital, the District of Columbia is a federal zone. And I don't think it's theater. I think it's working. They've arrested hundreds of people. They've gotten a number of violent criminals off the street. Just last night, they arrested an illegal alien and a member of MS 13. “They've gotten a lot of illegal guns off the street. Half of all the non-immigration arrests have come in D C's two most violent wards. There was some concern that they wouldn't be looking into the places where the crime is. That's not true.” Dr. James Dobson, evangelical Christian leader, died at 89 And finally, Dr. James Dobson, the influential ...

  • Trump hopes to get in Heaven by saving Russian/Ukrainian lives; Surge of young Brits trusting in God; 5 VA schools lose federal funding over pro-transgender policies

    Trump hopes to get in Heaven by saving Russian/Ukrainian lives; Surge of young Brits trusting in God; 5 VA schools lose federal funding over pro-transgender policies
    Aug 21 2025
    It’s Thursday, August 21st, A.D. 2025. 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 Muslims beat Christian convert and take his wife and six kids An Islamic teacher in Uganda, who converted to Christianity, suffered persecution from his own family recently. Thirty-nine-year old Wambuzi Maka Uthman was at a mosque earlier this month when he received a vision about repentance. On his way home, he met a pastor and learned about Jesus. Uthman told Morning Star News, “I then understood that it was [Jesus] Who had sent me to my fellow Muslims to repent. … I was so happy beyond expectations as I developed a deeper love for Jesus.” Uthman began telling his family and neighbors about the Gospel. In response, his extended family beat him and destroyed his house. While he received treatment at the hospital, his wife took their six children with her to live with relatives. Such persecution is common for Muslims who turn to Christ in Uganda. 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.” State Department: Human rights in United Kingdom have worsened Last Tuesday, the U.S. State Department released its “2024 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices.” The report noted that the human rights situation in the United Kingdom worsened last year. For example, the U.K. restricts free speech near abortion mills. Citizens have faced arrest simply for silent prayer inside such “buffer zones.” = Lorcan Price with Alliance Defending Freedom International said, “It’s plain to see that the censorship crisis is worsening in the UK – from citizens being arrested and prosecuted just for praying in their heads, to the Online Safety Act clamping down on free expression online.” Surge of young Brits trusting in God Speaking of England, the country is witnessing a surge in the number of young adults who believe in God. A new YouGov poll found 37% of Brits, between the ages of 18 and 24, believe in God. That’s up from 22% in 2019, and it’s higher than any other age group. A YouGov study from earlier this year found that young adults are also attending church more. Sixteen percent attend at least once per month now, up from 4% in 2018. 5 VA schools lose federal funding over pro-transgender policies In the United States, the Trump administration is cutting federal funding to five northern Virginia school districts over their transgender bathroom policies, reports the Associated Press. U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said the districts are “choosing to abide by woke gender ideology in place of federal law. … Today’s accountability measures are necessary because they have stubbornly refused to provide a safe environment for young women in their schools.” Shockingly, Life News reports that one of the school districts even arranged and bankrolled abortions for girls without their parents’ knowledge. Trump hopes to get in Heaven by saving Russian/Ukrainian lives President Donald Trump gave a phone interview to “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday. Trump said he wants to save thousands of lives by helping to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. He even said he hopes that will help him get to Heaven. Listen. TRUMP: “If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that's a pretty, I want to try and get to Heaven, if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to Heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” While some initially concluded that President Trump was revealing a physical health crisis when he said, “I hear I’m not doing well.” It becomes clear that he is referring to his spiritual health Evangelist Franklin Graham responded on Facebook. He wrote, “We do get to Heaven by good works—not by our own good works, but by the perfect work of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. … That’s how one gets to Heaven—not by our good works, but by His.” In Ephesians 2:8-9, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” In other words, no matter how many lives President Trump might save by helping to end the Russian-Ukrainian War, his lifesaving action will not save him from Hell. He can only be assured of an eternal address in Heaven if he confesses his sins and trusts Jesus Christ as Savior. (Romans 10:9) Texas House passes Trump redistricting plan On Wednesday, the Texas House passed a new congressional map that stands to boost Republicans’ power in Congress, overcoming weeks of protests from Texas House Democrats who fled the ...

  • Bank of America will stop “debanking” conservatives; Trump wants to end mail-in ballots; Muslim Nigerians killed 7,000 Christians this year

    Bank of America will stop “debanking” conservatives; Trump wants to end mail-in ballots; Muslim Nigerians killed 7,000 Christians this year
    Aug 20 2025
    It’s Wednesday, August 20th, A.D. 2025. 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 Muslim Nigerians killed 7,000 Christians this year A Nigerian-based nonprofit reports Islamic extremists have killed over 7,000 Christians in the country so far this year. The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law also found that nearly 8,000 Christians were violently seized and abducted. The report notes this translates into “an average of 30 Christian deaths per day and more than one per hour.” Since 2009, Jihadists in Nigeria have killed over 125,000 Christians and destroyed nearly 20,000 church buildings. Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. The country is ranked seventh on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian. Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Absurd charges dropped against Scottish pro-life grandmother Authorities in Scotland dropped charges against a 75-year-old grandmother who was arrested for holding a sign near an abortion mill. Back in February, Rose Docherty held a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Officials arrested her for violating a “buffer zone” law that restricts free expression near abortion mills. Docherty reacted to her case being dropped. She said, “This is a victory not just for me, but for everyone in Scotland who believes we should be free to hold a peaceful conversation.” Conservative Canadian Pierre Poilievre wins election In Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre (pronounced PAH-lee-ev) won a special election in the province of Alberta on Monday. Poilievre heads back to Canada’s parliament after losing his seat earlier this year. He will continue his work as the opposition leader against Canada’s ruling Liberal Party. Listen to comments from Poilievre. POILIEVRE: “We will work together. We will fight together. We will sacrifice together to restore the opportunity that our grandparents left for us, so that we can leave it for our grandchildren, so that we can once again restore a country that is strong, self-reliant and sovereign. That is why we stay united. That is why we go forward. May God keep our land glorious and free.” Trump wants to end mail-in ballots In the United States, President Donald Trump said Monday that he wants to end mail-in ballots as well as voting machines. Listen to comments from Trump. TRUMP: “You can never have a real democracy with mail in ballots. We, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots. We're going to start with an executive order, that's being written right now by the best lawyers in the country, to end mail-in ballots because they're corrupt.” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women’s Sports, Transgender and ‘WOKE’ for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM.” Bank of America will stop "debanking" conservatives The New York Post reports that Bank of America scrapped a rule used to “debank” conservatives. Major banks have also used the rule to deny services to religious groups, especially Evangelical ones. JP Morgan Chase dropped the rule last year. Bank of America finally followed suit. Jeremy Tedesco with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Over the past two years, ADF and our partners in both the private and public sectors have repeatedly engaged with Bank of America’s leadership to advocate for this change.” Fewer Americans are moving The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S. domestic migration rates are down. Only 7.9% of Americans relocated to a new town or city last year, down from about 20% in the 1950s and 60s. The rate has been steadily declining since then. People are also moving less within their own county. That rate is down 47% over the past three decades. The falling domestic migration rates are associated with high mortgage rates, dual-income households, an aging population, and remote job opportunities. Church-engaged Christians have less stress, anxiety, and loneliness And finally, the American Bible Society released the fifth chapter of its State of Bible: USA 2025 report. The chapter measured church engagement as the level of a person’s involvement in the life, mission, and community of a local church. Only 34% of self-identified Christians attend church weekly. In terms of generations, Gen Z had the lowest levels of church engagement. Women, married people, Evangelicals, and people in small cities were more likely to be highly engaged with their church. John Plake with the American Bible Society...
