On the basis of biblical law, Dave Pellowe, pastor and founder of Church and State Ministries cited Psalm 24, and claimed that “the Earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof” in opposition to the claims of the Aboriginal traditional religions and rituals. Pastor Pellowe said, “[Welcome to Country rituals] are religious rituals which Christians in particular should have no part of. And under a democratic, allegedly secular and pluralistic society, it should also be something that the taxpayer doesn’t fund and the government doesn’t impose. It’s the duty of Christians to preach the truth and the Gospel and to not mix Christianity with false religion, such as the Aboriginal traditional religion, which is bearing all the hallmarks of paganism’s inherently false beliefs.” Dave is now facing ongoing inquisitions from the Queensland Human Rights Commission. New Russian law bans adoptions to pro-trans countries By a vote of 397 to 1, Russia’s parliament voted last week to ban all adoptions to persons living in countries allowing homosexual faux-marriage and or gender reassignment.   South China News reports that Russia has 358,000 children in orphanages, or what they call care homes, and only 6 were adopted to foreign citizens last year.  China also announced last week they are halting all adoptions to foreign nations. U.S. families have adopted 82,674 children from China over the last few decades. Iranian & North Korean underground nuclear tests causing earthquakes Seismic activity which may have been an underground nuclear test was detected late Saturday night near the city of Aradan, Iran.  The U.S. Geological Survey detected an earthquake at 4.6 on the Richter scale, but noted the absence of seismic compression waves, which typically accompany natural earthquakes. A nuclear test is distinguished by a sharp peak in intensity at the very beginning as well as the absence of “aftershocks” and preliminary tremors.  North Korean underground tests have produced earthquakes anywhere from 4.2 to 6.3 on the Richter scale.  Fools run amuck in England Psalm 14:1 says, “The fool has said in his heart, there is no God.” There are more adherents to the religion of Atheism in England than those who would acknowledge Theism.  The study conducted by a research team at Queen’s University, Belfast, found that atheists increased from 35.2% to 42.9% of the population between 2008 and 2018.  The study found that the influence of parents appears to be the largest factor that contributes to a child adhering to a theist faith.  One year anniversary of Hamas attack on Israel Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel.  Palestine’s economy has dropped off from $4 billion to $2.57 billion since the war started, reports Reuters.

Amos 3:6 asks the question: “Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does disaster come to a city, unless the LORD has done it?” Hurricane Milton more powerful than Hurricane Helene Hurricane Milton is barreling towards Tampa, Florida and Florida’s Gulf Coast — possibly packing a punch of a Level 5 hurricane with wind strength up
