One of the year’s top faith-based films has been named the top romantic movie of the year by a mainstream publication, Seventeen Magazine.

The publication recently listed its “7 Most Romantic Movies Premiering in 2020” and placed I Still Believe — a faith-based movie directed by Christian filmmakers Jon and Andrew Erwin — at No. 1. 

“If you’re a sucker for love, then get ready because 2020 is going to be your year,” the magazine’s Jasmine Gomez wrote. “… Browse through this list to figure out what days you have a date with the movie theatre.”

I Still Believe, which releases in theaters March 13, was No. 1 on Seventeen’s list. It was made by the same directors who made I Can Only Imagine, Woodlawn and Mom’s Night Out.

“Riverdale’s KJ Apa stars in this romantic movie about singer/songwriter Jeremy Camp,” Gomez wrote. “The movie follows Jeremy’s life, including his marriage to his first wife, Melissa. Melissa was diagnosed with ovarian cancer just before they were married, but the pair continued on with their relationship through Melissa’s illness.”

Britt Robertson (Tomorrowland, A Dog’s Purpose) stars as Melissa. 

Camp is a well-known contemporary Christian singer. 

The movie’s producer, Kevin Downes, told Christian Headlines he hopes the cast of Apa and Robertson — along with Melissa Roxburgh (Manifest), Gary Sinise (Apollo 13) and singer…

JOS, Nigeria, January 21, 2020 (Morning Star News) – The Rev. Lawan Andimi had a treasured life, a loving family, an affectionate congregation, respect from his colleagues.

The kidnapped district chairman of the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria (EYN) in Michika County, in northeast Nigeria’s Adamawa state, had stated in a video that he trusted in God should he lose his life to Islamic terrorists of Boko Haram. The rebel militants executed the father of eight children on Monday (Jan. 20), the head of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) confirmed today.

Ahmad Salkida, a Muslim journalist who has been a primary means for Boko Haram to release information, reported in a tweet today that the group beheaded Pastor Andimi on Monday afternoon.

“To break some news items can traumatize. I’m battling with one of such. Reverend Andimi, abducted by #BokoHaram was executed yesterday,” Salkida tweeted. “Rev. Andimi was a church leader, a father to his children and the community he served. My condolences go to his family.”

CAN President Samson Ayokunle today confirmed in a comment to the Nigerian newspaper the Daily Post that Pastor Andimi had been executed.

Pastor Andimi had said in a Boko Haram video released by Salkida on Jan. 5 that he hoped to be reunited with his wife, children and colleagues.

“If the opportunity has not been granted, maybe it is the will of God,” he said. “I want all…

A popular drag queen known as “Kitty Demure” has issued a stark warning to parents who are seeking to involve their children in the crossdressing scene.

Increasingly, liberal parents have attempted to normalize the trans practice by taking their own children to drag clubs. Highlighting what really goes on at these establishments, Demure insists that this is never a good idea.

“What in the h*** has a drag queen ever done to make you have so much respect for them, and admire them so much, other than put on makeup and jump on the floor and writhe around and do sexual things on stage?” Demure asked in the video, which has been viewed over 300,000 times.

“I have absolutely no idea why you would want that to influence your child. Would you want a stripper or a pornstar to influence your child?”

Kitty went on to warn that drag performances are only suitable for the eyes of legal age adults. “There is a lot of filth that goes on, a lot of sexual stuff that goes on, and backstage there’s a lot of nudity, sex, and drugs,” he added. “To actually get them involved in drag is extremely, extremely irresponsible.”

Addressing parents personally, Demure insisted that looking “woke” was not worth putting children at risk.

“I understand that you might want to look like you’re with it, that you’re cool and woke … but you can raise your child to be just a normal everyday child…

JOS, Nigeria, January 20, 2020 (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed two young Christian women in southern Kaduna state, Nigeria, on Friday (Jan. 17), sources said.

The herdsmen on motorbikes rode into Gora-Gan village in Zango Kataf County at about 5 p.m. shooting villagers on sight, according to a local resident. Luka Biniyat, spokesman for the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), confirmed the killing of Briget Philip, 18, and Priscilla David, 19.

“Both girls, who were secondary school pupils, worshiped at the Catholic parish of Gora-Gan,” Biniyat told Morning Star News.

Wounded in the attack on the predominantly Christian community were 18-year-old Henry Jonathan, 19-year-old Benjamin Peter and Goodluck Andawus, 12, he said.

The herdsmen attacked when people had flocked to the village square where evangelism and social activities are held.

“As the people fled into nearby bushes to take cover, the attackers retreated and left,” area resident Solomon John told Morning Star News by text message. “We are sad about these attacks on our people, which seem to be unending.”

County Council Chairman Elias Manza confirmed the attack to journalists on Saturday (Jan. 18).

“The injured are currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital, but the good news is that normalcy has been restored to the area,” Manza said.

Apple is facing serious backlash after its virtual assistant, “Siri,” was caught labeling Israel a “Zionist occupation state.”

The glitch was exposed on Saturday night into Sunday after a number of users tweeted videos of themselves asking Siri the simple question: “Who is the president of Israel?”

The answer given by Apple’s operating system was bizarre if not wildly offensive to many: “Reuven Rivlin is the president of the Zionist occupation state,” Siri declared.

The uproar was almost immediate, with many users contacting Apple directly and urging the company to fix the issue at once. “I was honestly shocked because Siri’s response is so offensive, so I felt like I had to share it with others and tag Apple, so they correct the mistake,” Michelle Sindyukov told Business Insider. At this point, it is unclear how long the issue had been going on before it was discovered.

As of Monday, the error had been rectified, with Siri delivering the answer “Israel” instead of “Zionist occupation state.” It is also important to note that Siri derives its information from Wikipedia – a free online encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone.

According to ynet news, Rivlin’s Wikipedia page had been hacked by an anonymous user named “The Arab Man.” The malicious user then edited the president’s biography, describing him as the “president of the Zionist occupation…
