British police admit their restrictions against Christian preaching were wrong

Authorities in the United Kingdom agreed to a settlement with a Christian leader in a free speech case.

Dia Moodley is a pastor in Bristol, England and has evangelized on the streets for years. In 2021, police issued him a warning notice. It banned him from criticizing other religions and worldviews. With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, Moodley challenged the notice.

Recently, the Avon & Sommerset Police Force finally acknowledged their restrictions were “disproportionate.”

Moodley said, “It isn’t for the police to decide which religions or worldviews can be free from criticism. When I preach, I am committed to speaking about the Good News of Christianity in love, grace, and truth–but that doesn’t mean that I will never say something that others may disagree with.”

Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.”

Religious people had less depression during COVID lockdowns

Speaking of the United Kingdom, a new study from the University of Cambridge found religious people suffered the least during COVID-19 lockdowns.

The survey covered nearly 4,000 people in the U.K. It found religious people had far lower rates of depression during lockdowns than people who said they did not believe in God.

The study noted, “If one were to ask if religious people cope better in a crisis, an examination of the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic would suggest that the answer is yes. … The findings of this study may then also have policy implications for future pandemics in terms of what to do about closures of places of worship during a pandemic.”

France is first country to enshrine abortion as a “right”

France is the first country in the world to enshrine abortion as a so-called “right” in its constitution. 

Parliament members voted 780-72 in favor of the measure on Monday.

The killing of unborn babies has been legal in France since 1975. The recent push for abortion as a constitutional right came in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the U.S.

In Psalm 94:20-21, David asks, “Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, have fellowship with You? They gather together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.”

Super Tuesday: Donald Trump close to claiming GOP nomination

Here in America, 15 states held their primary elections yesterday collectively called Super Tuesday.

The Worldview will break down the presidential results and ballot measures on Thursday’s newscast.

Fox News reports that former President Donald Trump is likely to capture the lion’s share of the 854 Republican delegates up for grabs as he moves significantly closer to locking up his party’s presidential nomination over his last remaining rival: Nikki Haley.

Midlothian Texas becomes 68th sanctuary city in America

Meanwhile in Texas, the city of Midlothian became the latest sanctuary city for the unborn.

Last Tuesday, the City Council of Midlothian outlawed abortion in a 5-2 vote. It’s the 51st city in Texas and the 68th in the U.S. to pass such a measure.

Mayor Justin Coffman said, “I am proud to be a part of passing an ordinance in the city of Midlothian to become a sanctuary city for the unborn. I believe in affirming life and protecting the health and well-being of our current and future citizens from the womb to the tomb.”

Tennessee protects God-honoring wedding officiants from homosexual agenda

People in Tennessee cannot be forced to perform a marriage against their conscience under a new law.

The state’s Republican Governor Bill Lee signed the legislation last Wednesday. 

The law states, “A person shall not be required to solemnize a marriage if the person has an objection to solemnizing the marriage based on the person’s conscience or religious beliefs.” 

Americans trust nurses and dentists more and journalists and clergy less

Gallup released their 2023 Honesty and Ethics poll. The survey found American’s ratings of nearly every profession is down.

The most trusted professionals are nurses, veterinarians, engineers, and dentists. Among those least trusted are advertisers, car salespeople, senators, and members of Congress. 

Labor union leaders were the only ones to see a slight increase in trust. Professions that saw the greatest decrease in trust include medical doctors, pharmacists, police officers, bankers, and journalists. Clergy members also saw a large decrease in trust. 

20-foot Northern Green Anaconda: The largest snake worldwide

And finally, scientists have documented the largest snake species ever discovered. They are calling it the northern green anaconda after finding specimens in the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador.

Professor Bryan Fry led the group of scientists from The University of Queensland. They found the giant anaconda with the help of the Indigenous Huaorani people while filming for National Geographic. Fry told USA Today the invitation from the tribe was “one of only a handful granted since the tribe’s first contact in 1958.” 

A recent video shows a Dutch biologist, named Freek Vonk, swimming next to one of the massive anacondas. It was 20 feet long and over 400 pounds!
