  • Summary

  • Voiced by veteran talk show host Adam McManus and written by radio-host and pastor Kevin Swanson and a team of other staff writers, The World View in 5 Minutes is a round-up of the daily news from a Biblical perspective. And, perhaps most uniquely, you will often hear applicable Scriptures paired with the stories themselves. It’s part Paul Harvey, part R.C. Sproul. You’ll get hooked to the most definitively Christian overview of the news including politics, pop culture, the church, and tracing God’s sovereign hand in the affairs of man.

Hope emerging in Indonesia International Christian Concern, or the ICC, reports that residents living near the Tesalonika Church in Indonesia rioted and demanded that the church cease its worship activities. The footage of the rioters went viral on social media this week. A representative of the church stated that the church had been gathering inside a home because their lease for their previous place of worship had expired. Churches that meet in larger cities in Indonesia can generally worship openly; however, churches in smaller villages are increasingly challenged, threatened, and attacked. The ICC goes on to say, “Muslims are increasingly leaving Islam to follow Jesus, and devoted Muslims are taking notice. At the same time, religious tolerance is increasing in Indonesia and some churches are finally gain

Fu said Christians in China are facing the worst persecution in decades.

For example, the Chinese Communist Party forbids children from believing in Christianity. Officials encourage family members of Christians to report them. Authorities have also banned private Christian education and many foreign missionaries. Fu goes on to say that part of eradicating Christianity involves

Fifty-two of those Christians are imprisoned in China, Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam. The remaining 20 are missing across those nations. An ICC staffer in Asia said, “These numbers are daunting yet unsurprising. Communism is just as dangerous and destructive to Christians today as it was in previous generations.” In one case, Chinese authorities arrested a Korean Christian for studying the Bible. Chung Yong Cheol faced deportation to North Korea and then a 10-year sentence in a political prison camp.
