Masara Kim of Truth Nigeria shares with CBN's Raj Nair the heartbreaking details of the most recent horrific massacre of Christians by Islamic jihadists in that land.
27 Christians Slaughtered In Nigeria Including A Three Year Old Girl CBN News (July 17, 2025)
Almost twenty five years ago, on a beautiful, coming-of-fall morning in September, 2001 the lives of millions of Americans changed forever when New York City suffered one of the worst terrorist attacks in our nation's history. On that day, the lives of over 3,000 Americans and others were lost when Islamic terrorists slammed planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, into the Pentagon in Washington DC, and crashed a hijacked airliner into a field in western Pennsylvania.

Most Americans were caught completely off guard that day. We were shocked. And angry. We grieved over the lives of so many of our fellow citizens lost in this cruel and senseless assault on our nation. In the patriotic fervor in the days that followed, we vowed, "Always Remember, Never Forget."
In a recent political upset which has allegedly shaken the Big Apple to its core, and has sent shock waves across the nation, a self-described Muslim Socialist Zohran Mamdani recently secured the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City.
He is almost guaranteed to become the next leader of America's largest city, which has often been called, "the crossroads of the world".
According to a recent report from Yahoo! News, Mamdani's platform includes taxing the wealthy, the creation of government-run grocery stores, and defunding the NYPD.
This last issue is hardly surprising to me as Brooklyn has already established a self-funded, "Muslim Community Patrol" within its borough, which provides additional security to neighborhood mosques and Islamic schools in the area. Why do the residents there need an additional community patrol when they already have an established police force?
Also, according to the report, Mamdani actively supports, "Palestinian causes".
Thousands of people, including myself and President Trump, witnessed Muslims in northern New Jersey and New York City, not to mention in Palestinian communities in Gaza rejoicing and dancing in the streets celebrating our terrible loss on September 11th. Today, most major media outlets have selective memory about this, even going so far as to say that the reports of celebration have since been "debunked". Like President Trump, I too, have a very good memory of what I saw on that day via television news reports. And I will never forget what I witnessed either.
As Texas Congressman Brandon Gill opined on X: "Mass migration is fundamentally transforming our communities-and the electorate. It has to stop."
This man is right. This has got to stop. I believe the attacks on ICE agents who are trying to enforce US Immigration laws are deliberately coordinated and being used to further destabilize and to destroy America.
And, that most of the news media is complicit in protecting the identities of those behind this movement, or, they have taken bribes-just like many major American universities and colleges-from those who are committed to the promotion of "stealth jihad" or a silent, unholy war within our own borders.
*"...the pestilence that walks in darkness." (Psalm 91:6)
In this important teaching, Christian apologist and founder of The Berean Call Ministries, Dave Hunt (1926-2013) lays the groundwork for what is happening right now in our nation and in the world today. It is imperative that Christians understand the true history and diabolical nature of what some of our own leaders have called, "the religion of peace" and how Islam is being used by Satan in these last days to deceive and destroy the people and the nations of the world.

*In the Bible, "pestilence" refers to a rapidly spreading deadly disease or plague, associated with divine judgment and punishment. It is a force of destruction, and associated with warfare, in the natural and in the spiritual realm. We can no longer downplay or ignore these "signs" of the times.

One of the most popular top-charting female vocalists of the late 1950's and early 1960's her beautiful voice is estimated to have sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
I always loved Connie's role as the perky college co-ed Angie in the 1961 beach movie, "Where The Boys Are". Connie also sang the title song from the film, which not only became one of her greatest hit records, but her signature song as well. May she rest in eternal peace.

"For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity My people, Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it." (Jeremiah 30:3)

In a world full of lies and deceitful propaganda, along with displays of profound satanic-driven hatred increasing throughout the world against the nation and people of Israel, this classic teaching from Christian apologist/ author and founder of The Berean Call Ministries Dave Hunt (1926-2013) sets the record straight.

"What does it mean to be free? Does it mean that you do anything that your please at any time? That you throw off all order and restraint, you're just self-indulgent, self-pleasing, self-willed...Let me tell you, friend, that's not real freedom. That's slavery. It's slavery to self and its slavery to sin.
But there is a kind of real freedom that comes when God sets our hearts free. What's the evidence? When we are truly liberated by the grace of God, and the power of God, it's not to please ourselves, it's not to do our own thing, but it's to be able to obey God and be able to obey Him with delight, to obey Him with readiness, not reluctantly, not grudgingly, but freely and joyfully.
I just long to know what Your will is. And when I discover Your will, I run in that pathway. There's a note of eagerness, a note of excitement, that comes not from pleasing self, but from seeking to please God, from doing His will."
One of the most popular easy listening hits of the summer of 1967, the old standard, "Release Me" by British pop sensation Engelbert Humperdinck, was the number one song across the pond in Great Britain, beating out the Beatles' "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields"from reaching the top of the record charts there.
In fact, his version of this sad love ballad was the highest selling single in the UK that year with record sales of 1.38 million copies.
In America, the song reached the number four spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Although other versions of "Release Me" (And Let Me Love Again) were recorded by Patti Page, Ray Price, Kitty Wells, The Everly Brothers, Dean Martin, and Elvis Presley, the song was a breakthrough hit for Engelbert Humperdinck, establishing his career as an internationally-acclaimed recording artist, with some of his most devoted fans calling themselves, "Humperdinckers."
On a more personal note, this was one of the songs I remember my mother often singing to us kids while we were driving in the car somewhere on hot summer days.
