Good afternoon! It's Monday, February 28, and today's headlines include an update on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, results from the CPAC 2024 presidential straw poll, and news of a Christian convert in Uganda being beaten and left for dead by his Muslim relatives.

A 34-year-old Christian evangelist's Muslim family beat and tied up him to be burned alive after he returned home for his grandfather's funeral in eastern Uganda, saying, “Allah will reward them in Jannah [garden paradise] if they kill” him. Malingumu Bruhan said, "My uncle accused me of embarrassing them by holding Christian evangelistic, open-air meetings and debates with Muslims ... He said to me that it is now the right time for me to receive punishment from Allah, whereby I was going to be burned alive and the birds of the air will enjoy me as their meat." A fellow convert from Islam eventually found Bruhan tied up near a stack of firewood and tried calling the police, causing the attackers to flee. Bruhan has endured 11 murder attempts since converting to Christianity in 2017.

"My life will forever be impacted by a black boy and two white boys. These boys are the reason why I have grown to hate critical race theory (CRT), which has become a hot topic in my school district," writes Ty McCurry. In this op-ed, McCurry offers a bird's-eye-view of CRT from a student perspective, explaining, "Last semester, as a sixth-grader at a public school, my history teacher told me, along with other students, that because my skin is white, I am 'privileged and considered an oppressor.' It made me feel sad because my friends and I are not mean or oppressors." Continue reading.
Citing research that revealed that approximately 60% of Christians believe Jesus is not the only way to Heaven, Erica Caudill calls on Christians to return to the truth and not be afraid to share that truth with others. "The fact of the matter is that you must be born again. In John 3:3, Jesus tells us, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born again.' As difficult as it is for our earthly mind to process, being a good person is, frankly, not enough," she asserts. Continue reading.

This should come as no surprise, writes Roger McKinney, as inequality is highest in states controlled by the Democrat party. McKinney discusses economics through the lens of Christianity, saying, "There is a problem with the logic of measures of inequality: they calculate dollars of income, not what one can buy with it."
