Christians in Southeast Asia Able to Read Gospel in Native Tongue for First Time in 128 Years
For the first time in 128 years, Christians in Southeast Asia are able to read the New Testament in their own language thanks to the tireless work of Wycliffe Associates (WA).
According to a report shared on the Wycliffe Associates, an organzation that accelerates Bible translation around the world by empowering national translators and equippingthe local church, nearly two centuries ago, missionaries came to Southeast Asia with the gospel. At the time, there was no translation of the Scriptures available, so they had to study God’s Word in a foreign language.
“Miraculously, they held onto their faith through hardship and persecution. God’s church in this remote region survived,” reads the report.
However, through the Wycliffe Associates‘ Mobilized Assistance Supporting Translation program, a pioneering method that enables mother-tongue translators to translate the Bible in an unprecedented time, the New Testament has now been translated, and translators plan to complete the Old Testament by the end of 2016. The Southeast Asia language group was one of 14 people groups in the world, representing 17 million people, who have never read the Bible in their own language. …. Read More

Russell Moore on Whether America is a Christian Nation
Russell Moore says the belief that the United States is a Christian nation in the respect of being a divinely ordained country is “theological liberalism.”
In a video posted to YouTube on Tuesday, the head of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention tackled the question of whether or not the U.S. is a Christian nation.
“If what you mean by that is a nation in which most of the people profess to be Christians, then certainly the United States of America was and is a Christian nation,” said Moore.
Is Clinton vs. Trump God’s Judgment on America ?
It is altogether fitting that Donald Trump became the all-but-certain presidential nominee of the Republican Party on the same day that he cited the ridiculous allegations of the National Enquirer that Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael, had involvement in the assassination of JFK.
This is not so much an indictment on Trump as it is an indictment on the American people. God could well be giving us exactly what we deserve.
After all, we are the generation raised on a steady diet of amoral and immoral reality TV, also feasting on shows like Jerry Springer and Howard Stern and regurgitating meaningless sound bites as though they were pearls of wisdom.
No wonder, then, that Donald J. Trump appeals to so many Americans. He is a National Enquirer candidate for a Jerry Springer generation. What a match!
Of course, there are fine people who also believe in Trump’s candidacy, people of conscience, spiritual people, patriotic people.
I certainly do not condemn all of their judgments, nor is it my place to do so.
I have also listened carefully to the prognosticators who have predicted for months that Trump would be our next president – some even claimed prophetic inspiration for these predictions — and that he would be a tool in God’s hand to destroy the corrupt political establishment and do good to our nation.
I fervently hope that these prophecies will prove true and that I will have to eat every word I have written — and I am writing.
I have no desire to be right; I do have an intense desire to see America blessed; and I would far rather say, “I was so wrong about Donald Trump,” than say, “I told you so!” … Read More

Children in care need priority acess to mental health care, says Christian MP
A Christian MP has said vulnerable children in care need priority access to mental health services to stop them being overlooked.
Labour’s Stephen Timms was speaking after a group of MPs including himself which make up the Education Select Committee published a report which found the care system and health services are routinely failing to identify the mental health problems of young people in the care system.
It also found children in care were four times more likely to suffer mental health problems than their peers.Children leaving care in the UK are also five times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers and are more likely to enter the criminal justice system.
The report wants the Government to: Address the lack of reliable data about mental health
Fund mental health surveys on a five-yearly basis Allow care leavers to access Care and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) up until the age of 25
Invest in better understanding the challenges that young people face while living in and after leaving the care system
Stephen Timms told Premier: “Almost half of children in care have got a diagnosable mental health disorder. … Read More
Former Bishop of Liverpool to produce report on Hillsborough families’ pain
A former Bishop of Liverpool will provide a report to the British government describing the ordeals the families of the 96 fans killed in the Hillsborough disaster have been through.
The Home Secretary Theresa May (below) made the announcement regarding Rt Revd James Jones (above) in the House of Commons, days after a jury ruled the 96 Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed in 1989.
The jury, which had been deliberating evidence for years, ruled that the work of police at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield on the day had directly contributed to their deaths, and their work after it had attempted to cover it up.
It was originally ruled that the 96 Liverpool fan’s deaths were accidental.
The jury’s ruling has paved the way for possible criminal prosecutions against the head police officer there at Hillsborough Stadium on the day, David Duckenfield.
Meanwhile the current South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Alan Billings has suspended the force’s current Chief Constable David Crompton due to the level of public outcry against the force.
He has said it is “unlikely” David Crompton will return to his post.

Theresa May said after announcing Bishop James’ upcoming report: “I am keen that we understand and learn from the families’ experiences. … Read More
