Supreme Court Decision Affirms God Always Protects the Little Sisters of the Poor, Sister Constance Says
The Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic order of nuns in the midst of a lawsuit against Obamacare’s birth control mandate, are encouraged and optimistic following the United States Supreme Court’s decision to vacate lower court rulings.

The high court unanimously decided on Monday to send the case brought by Little Sisters and 36 other religious non-profits (Zubik v. Burwell) against the Department of Health and Human Services Affordable Care Act mandate back to appeals courts, and also vacated an appeals court judgement that ruled that the Little Sisters had to allow the federal government to provide its employees birth control and abortifacients through the organization’s health plan.

As the Supreme Court called on the courts and administration to “arrive at an approach going forward that accommodates petitioners’ religious exercise,” Little Sisters of the Poor’s U.S. director of communications Sister Constance Veit told The Christian Post Tuesday that the court’s decision affirms the fact that God has always been there to protect the sisters, no matter what sociopolitical conditions faced them.

“Basically, the Supreme Court has recognized what we have always been insisting, which is that the government could be achieving their goals relative to these services without involving us,” Veit explained. “The Supreme Court basically told the federal government that they need to find a way to resolve this by accommodating our religious beliefs and our concerns.”

“This wasn’t a shock,” Veit said of the court’s decision. “All along, we have made the intentional choice to put our trust in God because we have been around for 175 years, all over the world in a lot of precarious situations, through social and political upheaval, and God has always protected our sisters. This is just an affirmation of that. We know that he is going to work this out for us.”

Although no court dates have yet been set, the Little Sisters are confident moving forward and believe that the end of their legal battle is near.

“We are feeling very encouraged and very hopeful because we have realized that this is not the end of the game but it is much closer to the end,” Veit stated. “We have been optimistic and hopeful all along, just because we trust that God is going to take care of this for us and we also have great trust and admiration in our legal team at Becket Fund. Yesterday, for me, was a confirmation that ‘Okay, God really is protecting us in all of this.'”

Veit explained that the reason for her confidence is the fact that the Obama administration even admitted in its supplemental brief submitted to the Supreme Court in April by Solicitor General Donald Verrilli that the administration could have accomplished its contraceptive goals without infringing on the nuns’ religious beliefs.  … Read more

Shocking moment ISIS fighter on crutches boasts about the desecration of Christian graves – and the murder of those who tried to stop him

Shocking footage purportedly released by ISIS shows a fighter desecrating the graves of Christians.

The clip displays a man on crutches in military gear showing off about the damage he has caused as he stands next to the smashed Christian cemetery in the city of Deir ez-Zor in Syria.

Shards of stone and wood litter the dry earth, while in the background two wooden coffins appear to be completely destroyed and are now just a mound of material.

Indian woman in her 70s gives birth to healthy baby boy

The Guardian report – An Indian woman and her husband who are both in their 70s have celebrated the birth of a baby boy following IVF treatment, their first successful pregnancy in 46 years of marriage.

Daljinder Kaur gave birth last month after two years of treatment using donor eggs at a fertility clinic in the northern state of Haryana.

Though certainly one of the oldest mothers to give birth, her exact age was unclear. She has said she is about 70 but does not have a birth certificate, which is not uncommon in India.

Anurag Bishnoi, embryologist and owner of the National Fertility and Test Tube Baby centre in Hisar, told the Guardian he believed she could be 72.

“She has said she is five to seven years younger than her husband, and his birth certificate shows he was born on 12/04/1937,” he said.

Kaur said she and her husband, Mohinder Singh Gill, a farmer, had almost lost hope of having their own child and had faced ridicule in a country where infertility is sometimes seen as a curse from God.

“God heard our prayers. My life feels complete now,” she told Agence France-Presse from the northern city of Amritsar. “I am looking after the baby all by myself. I feel so full of energy. My husband is also very caring and helps me as much as he can.”

Their son, born “healthy and hearty” and weighing 4.4lb (2kg), has been named Arman.

Kaur said: “When we saw the [IVF] advert, we thought we should also give it a try as I badly wanted to have a baby of my own.”

Bishnoi, who set up the clinic after gaining a master’s in clinical embryology at the University of Leeds, has carried out successful IVF on several geriatric couples. In 2008 one of his patients, Rajo Devi Lohan, became a first-time mother at 70 when she gave birth to a baby girl. Another woman became the mother of triplets at 66.

He said Kaur and Gill had suffered several setbacks in their quest for parenthood and had previously been unable to afford the treatment. After trying unsuccessfully to conceive, they adopted a boy in the 1980s, but he went to study in the US and never returned.

“They also had some family problems. A person who is infertile is not given a piece of land or any property by his father,” said Bishnoi, explaining that Gill had to fight his father in the courts. “He won, and then he got this piece of land and he got the money for the treatment.”

Bishnoi said he was initially reluctant to perform the procedure due to Kaur’s age and the fact she looked frail. A series of medical tests, including stringent cardio checks, showed she was fit and healthy, and the risk to her health of becoming pregnant was no higher than if she had been middle-aged, he said.

“They were donor eggs. She had two attempts and then a gap of six months. And then on the third attempt, it was successful.

“For them it is a time of great happiness. Especially because her brother, also, didn’t have any children. They were two families, and both didn’t have children. In Indian law they don’t allow adoption after 45 years of age.”  … Read More

Daughter of Muslim Ruler Imprisoned for Embracing Christianity After Seeing Light, Hearing Voice of Jesus
Over the past two years, thousands of Yazidi and Christian women in the Middle East have experienced extreme brutality at the hands of Islamic State militants, prompting US Secretary of State John Kerry to class such atrocities as ”genocide.” Photo Credit: Reuters

Matthew 5:10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

The daughter of a Muslim ruler in the Middle East who embraced Christianity after a miraculous encounter with Jesus Christ has been imprisoned for her faith, according to a local ministry.

Evangelist Paul Siniraj, founder of Bibles For Mideast, an undercover Bible smuggling ministry that gets the Word of God into some of the most repressive Muslim countries, shared the story of 16-year-old Najima, once a devout Muslim who followed the Five Pillars of Islam, never missed the required five-times-a-day prayers, gave to the poor, and even fasted, as Islamic law requires.

However, while studying at a Western university, she noticed a small piece of paper stuck in a crease at the table at which she was sitting. It was part of a Bible tract about Jesus Christ.

It read: “For God hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

She thought it was strange and asked herself, “How can Jesus be sin for us?”

The young woman threw the tract in the trash can, thinking that would be the end of it, but the verse kept lingering in her mind. One night, while Najima lay awake pondering the verse, a presence came into the room, filling the room with blinding light. … Read More

Muslim-Turned-Christian Author: ‘Islam is Not Religion of Peace’ But ‘Christians Should Love Muslims’
A U.S. Muslim who converted to Christianity, Nabeel Qureshi, encourages Christians to ”self-sacrificially” embrace Muslims with love, despite threats of terrorism, in his new book ”Answering Jihad: A Better Way Forward.”

Radical Islam issues are addressed from a unique perspective in a new book authored by Nabeel Qureshi, entitled “Answering Jihad: A Better Way Forward.” The former Muslim who converted to Christianity encourages Christians to love Muslims despite acts of terrorism.

Qureshi was raised as a devout Muslim in the United States. As he grew up, he said he began to be disillusioned with Islam.

“After years of investigation, I had to face the reality. There is a great deal of violence in Islam, even in the very foundations of the faith, and it is not all defensive. Quite to the contrary, if the traditions about the prophet of Islam are in any way reliable, then Islam glorifies violent jihad arguably more than any other action a Muslim can take,” he wrote in his new book just released.

“This conclusion led me to a three-pronged fork in the road. Either I could become an apostate and leave Islam, grow apathetic and ignore the prophet, or become ‘radicalized’ and obey him.” ….  Read more
