Colombian president denies divinity of Jesus Christ
Christians across Colombia recoiled at recent remarks made by President Gustavo Petro. The nation’s leader denied that Jesus is Christ, describing Him instead as a “man of light, of truth and a revolutionary.”
This public attack on Biblical truth comes as Christians continue to face persecution and physical attacks in the country.
Criminal organizations have killed at least 10 pastors in Colombia over the last year. Sadly, the government provides little protection for church leaders.
Psalm 2:11-12 warns rulers, “Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.”
U.S. forces shoot down Iranian drone over Arabian Sea
A U.S. fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone as it approached a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea on February 3rd, the U.S. Central Command has announced, reports The Epoch Times.
The incident comes at a moment of heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. President Donald Trump recently ordered naval forces to the Middle East and has threatened military strikes on Iran if it does not agree to new limits on its nuclear development.
The U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East, said the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln was operating about 500 miles from Iran’s southern coast on Tuesday, when U.S. forces spotted what they identified as an Iranian Shahed-139 drone.
When the Iranian drone “unnecessarily maneuvered toward” the aircraft carrier, the U.S. Central Command said U.S. forces issued de-escalatory instructions, but the drone continued on its path toward the aircraft carrier. That’s when an F-35C Lighting II stealth fighter jet, assigned to the aircraft carrier, intervened and shot down the drone.
Thankfully, no American service members were harmed during the incident, and no U.S. equipment was damaged.
Conservative candidate wins presidency of Costa Rica
Meanwhile in Central America, conservative candidate Laura Fernández Delgado won Costa Rica’s presidential election on Sunday. She gave thanks to God following the election victory.
Life News reports that Fernández emphasized moral values and the protection of unborn babies during her campaign. She stated, “Defending the lives of Costa Ricans who have not yet been born is an obligation of the State. Abortion is nothing more than murder and, therefore, penalties must be toughened.”
Christian groups looking to overturn homosexual marriage
In the United States, a coalition of conservative groups launched a campaign last month to overturn Obergefell.
The infamous Supreme Court ruling from 2015 legalized faux homosexual marriage.
The campaign, known as the Greater Than movement, calls for protecting children from being put in the middle of such unbiblical relations.
Listen to comments from Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
MOHLER: “Marriage is actually the most basic institution of human civilization. You redefine marriage, you have just destroyed the house. You can put together a new house and claim it’s the same. Children will know the difference. It harms children in virtually every way imaginable.”
De-transitioner awarded $2 million
The Epoch Times reports a New York jury found a psychologist and plastic surgeon liable for malpractice in a transgender case last week.
The doctors supported and performed a double mastectomy on a 16-year-old girl who claimed to be a boy. Fox Varian is 22 now and no longer pretends to be a boy. She was awarded two million dollars in the case. Varian is the first de-transitioner to win such a malpractice lawsuit.
Nearly 30 more de-transitioner lawsuits are in process across America.
Trump stands with pharmacies for not carrying Abortion Kill Pills
The Trump administration is protecting pharmacies from having to carry abortion kill pills.
Under the Biden administration, the Department of Health and Human Services required pharmacies serving Medicare or Medicaid patients to carry abortion drugs.
The department rescinded that mandate last week. This is part of the government’s policy to “end the forced use of Federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion.”
Red states are growing and blue states are shrinking
The U.S. Census Bureau released its latest Population and Housing Unit Estimates last week. Red states, like Texas, are growing, while blue states, like California, are shrinking.
Based on this, the American Redistricting Project released its 2030 Apportionment Forecast of how these demographic trends will affect Congress. Texas and Florida could gain a combined eight congressional seats. Meanwhile, California and New York could lose six seats.
83% of U.S. adults believe in God; 25% attend weekly religious service
Pew Research released new analysis of Americans’ religious beliefs and practices. The analysis shared the data as if the U.S. population were scaled down to 100 people.
In that case, 83 people would believe in God or a universal spirit. Fifty-two would believe in Heaven and Hell. Forty-four would pray daily. Thirty-eight would say religion is very important in their lives. And only 25 would say they attend religious services at least weekly.
Romans 11:5 reminds us, “Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.”
U.S. life expectancy rose to 79
And finally, U.S. life expectancy rose to a record 79 years in 2024.
This according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Life expectancy at birth for women rose to 81, and for men it rose to 76. Meanwhile, the age-adjusted death rate decreased nearly four percent from 2023.
The increased life expectancy comes after improvements following the COVID-19 pandemic as well as declines in overdose deaths.
