Sound of Freedom film beat Indiana Jones, Muslims trusting Christ in North Africa and Middle East, Judge to U.S. government: Stop censoring First Amendment through Big Tech

It’s Thursday, July 6th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Muslims trusting Christ in North Africa and Middle East The church continues to grow in one of the most dangerous areas to be a Christian.  International Christian Concern reports that “In one of the world’s most persecuted regions, the church is experiencing a remarkable surge of new believers. Despite the persecution and pressure from Islamic families and culture, an unprecedented number of Muslims across the Middle East and North Africa turn to Christianity.” Many of these Muslim-background believers are young people who became disillusioned with Islam and turned to atheism before finding Christ.  Those who become Christian are often disowned by their families and can face imprisonment or death for leaving Islam. Please pray for the suffering yet growing church in the Middle East and North Africa. Psalm 22:27 says, “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You.” Only 5% of Germans read Bible regularly Last week, the University of Leipzig released a study on Bible usage in Germany. The area was once at the heart of the Protestant Reformation in 16th century Europe. Just over 50% of the population owns a Bible now; however, less than five percent of Germans read Scripture daily or weekly. The proportion of Bible users has not changed much over the past 10 years. It is the frequency of use that has fallen.  Dr. Alexander Deeg with the university said, “I was surprised by the relatively low use of the Bible among Catholics and Protestants.”  Judge to U.S. government: Stop censoring First Amendment through Big Tech On Tuesday, a U.S. District Judge issued a preliminary injunction against the Biden administration to protect free speech. The injunction blocks the federal government from meeting with social media companies to suppress online content.
