2,000 Christians in India protested persecution
Around 2,000 Christians gathered in India’s capital of New Delhi last month to protest persecution.
Speakers at the event noted that attacks on Christians in the country increased 500% between 2014 and 2024. However, police investigated less than 20% of the cases.
One organizer said, “This is not a political movement, but a constitutional dialogue among Indian citizens from the Christian faith, exercising their democratic rights. The systematic and egregious violence and hostility, coupled with police inaction and lack of access to justice, requires solutions.”
India is ranked 11th on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.
Australia banned social media accounts for kids
Australia became the first country in the world to ban social media accounts for children this week.
The government now requires social media companies to deactivate the accounts of children under 16 in the country or face serious fines.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese released a message, calling on young people to invest in real-world activities and relationships.
Listen.
ALBANESE: “Make the most of the school holidays coming up, rather than spending it scrolling on your phone. Start a new sport, learn a new instrument, or read that book that has been sitting there on your shelf for some time. And importantly, spend quality time with your friends and your family, face to face.”
Supreme Court allows Texas county to ban objectionable books
In America, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a Texas county to keep its ban on objectionable books in public libraries.
The issue began in 2021 when Llano County in Central Texas removed 17 books from libraries at the request of local residents. The disputed titles included multiple books for young adults with themes on sexually perverted lifestyles. Sadly, other residents favored access to such indecency.
The Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday leaves in place a ruling by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. That ruling noted, “From the moment they emerged in the mid-19th century, public libraries have shaped their collections to present what they held to be worthwhile literature. … Public libraries used to exclude most novels, which were thought bad for morals.”
Philippians 4:8 says, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
15th county bans abortion
Motley County, Texas became the 15th county in the nation to ban abortion.
On Monday, the county’s Commissioners Court unanimously adopted a Sanctuary County for the Unborn ordinance.
Motley County is the 13th county in Texas to pass such an ordinance. It is also the 22nd political subdivision in the U.S. to pass such a measure this year.
Wikipedia’s #1 2025 article: Charlie Kirk’s assassination

30% of U.S. adults took political/spiritual action in wake of Charlie Kirk’s death

And nearly half of Americans said that Charlie Kirk’s death will have a positive impact on Christianity among younger Americans.
Isaiah 41:10 most popular verse on YouVersion app
And finally, the Bible platform, YouVersion, announced the verse with the highest international engagement this year.
That verse was Isaiah 41:10. It says, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
YouVersion saw unprecedented Bible engagement this year, reaching a billion downloads.
Pastor Bobby Gruenewald, Founder and CEO of YouVersion, said, “We’re witnessing a global movement. People are hungry for what’s real and true. The Bible stands alone as the source of truth, carefully passed from generation to generation. It’s alive and active, and relevant to our everyday lives. These numbers represent millions of changed lives—people finding hope, direction, and purpose in God’s Word.”
Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
