| Christian beaten, left for dead by Muslim relatives | | A 34-year-old Christian evangelist's Muslim family beat and tied up him to be burned alive after he returned home for his grandfather's funeral in eastern Uganda, saying, “Allah will reward them in Jannah [garden paradise] if they kill” him. Malingumu Bruhan said, "My uncle accused me of embarrassing them by holding Christian evangelistic, open-air meetings and debates with Muslims ... He said to me that it is now the right time for me to receive punishment from Allah, whereby I was going to be burned alive and the birds of the air will enjoy me as their meat." A fellow convert from Islam eventually found Bruhan tied up near a stack of firewood and tried calling the police, causing the attackers to flee. Bruhan has endured 11 murder attempts since converting to Christianity in 2017. | | Also of Interest... | | Ugandan pastor slain by Muslims in anti-Christian attack in front of daughter: 'You will face the wrath from Allah'Former pastor pleads guilty to sexual misconduct with teen during Uganda missionary tripMuslim extremists beat Christian apologist unconscious in Uganda | | Trump wins CPAC 2024 straw poll; DeSantis places 2nd | | Former President Donald Trump won the Conservative Political Action Conference's presidential straw poll over the weekend, while Florida Gov.

| I’m a 12-year-old former public school student. Here’s why I hate critical race theory. | | "My life will forever be impacted by a black boy and two white boys. These boys are the reason why I have grown to hate critical race theory (CRT), which has become a hot topic in my school district," writes Ty McCurry. In this op-ed, McCurry offers a bird's-eye-view of CRT from a student perspective, explaining, "Last semester, as a sixth-grader at a public school, my history teacher told me, along with other students, that because my skin is white, I am 'privileged and considered an oppressor.' It made me feel sad because my friends and I are not mean or oppressors." Continue reading. | | Narrow is the way | | Citing research that revealed that approximately 60% of Christians believe Jesus is not the only way to Heaven, Erica Caudill calls on Christians to return to the truth and not be afraid to share that truth with others. "The fact of the matter is that you must be born again. In John 3:3, Jesus tells us, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born again.'
