It’s Tuesday, May 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I’m Adam McManus. ([email protected]) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Another British preacher arrested in London Another British pastor has been arrested for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the streets of London.   Pastor Steve Maile was singing, preaching the Good News, and calling on Muslims to be saved when he was arrested by the police.  Pastor Steve told Fox News Digital, "It's called inciting religious hatred — which is false. … The cross of Christ is a message of hope, love, mercy, and reconciliation to a fallen world. ... How could that be hate?" Not much has changed since the Prophet Amos spoke these words: “They hate the one who rebukes in the gate, and they abhor the one who speaks uprightly.” (Amos 5:10) Three Christian pastors killed in Manipur, India The Manipur, Indian Baptist Convention is condemning the death of friend and pastor Reverend Dr. Vumthang Sitlhou, who was shot and killed along with Pastors Lhouvum and Paogoulen in an ambush which took place on May 13th. Manipur State is located in Northeast India in a mostly hilly area, where the percentage of Christians has risen from 19% in 1960 to 41% in 2011, equaling the percentage of Hindus which dropped from 62% to 41%. The Baptist group noted “This senseless violence is a grave attack on humanity, peace, and religious harmony. The tragic loss of such devoted leaders who dedicated their lives to serving God, the Church, and society, is not only a loss to the Christian community, but also to the people of Manipur as a whole.”   The Worldview received pictures of the scene from Christians who witnessed the killings. The Baptist Convention is pleading with the government of India to “seriously look into the matter to conduct an immediate and impartial investigation, and ensure that the perpetrators are identified and brought to justice without delay.” Send a 2-sentence letter to Indian Ambassador Vinay Kwatra, asking that he hold the killers accountable.

At least two cases of Ebola have been detected in Kampala, Uganda as well, according to the World Health Organization. That's the worst outbreak since 2020. Those who contract the Ebola virus have a 50% chance of dying. Right-wing Vox Party makes gains in Spain The far-right, nationalist Vox Party gained some ground in Spain’s election over the weekend.  The conservative party will be forced to build a ruling coalition with the Nationalists to establish a new government for that European nation. At last count, 15 European nations have experienced a surge in anti-immigrant nationalism. However, that’s not necessarily a return to Christian values or pro-life values. Death tolls in the U.S.-Iran War and Russ-Ukrainian War Here’s an updated list of death tolls for recent wars. * 3,000 deaths in Lebanon as reported by the BBC. * 1,700 Iranian citizens are reported to have been killed in the recent US-Israeli war on Iran. * Thirteen U.S. military personnel also gave up their lives in this war.   * While estimates vary for the Russian-Ukrainian War, the best estimates we can find are 16,000 Ukrainian civilians and about 400 Russian civilians have been killed in that war. Worse yet, anywhere from hundreds of thousands to 3,000,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers have given up their lives in this conflict.  Jeremiah 25:32-33 speaks of God giving nations over to the devastation of war: “Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, disaster shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the farthest parts of the Earth. And, at that day, the slain of the Lord shall be from one end of the Earth even to the other end of the Earth.” Two teens killed three at Islamic Center in San Diego On May 18th, two teenagers killed three adults at the Islamic Center of San Diego including two staff members and a security guard, reports Fox News. San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said that the two suspects involved in the shooting, ages 17 and 19, are both dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. He also added these additional details. WAHL: “At about 11:43am, we received a call of an active shooter at the Islamic Center. Within four minutes, officers arrived on scene and observed immediately three deceased, what appeared to be deceased, victims out in front. They immediately began to deploy with an active shooter response into the mosque and adjacent school.” Wahl said the security guard “played a pivotal role” in preventing the attack from becoming even worse. GOP Senator Bill Cassidy lost primary in Louisiana Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy was ousted in Saturday’s primary election. The longtime senator came in with a dismal 25% support.  He had served as a Congressman for six years and a Senator for 11 years. Cassidy was known for both his reluctance to support the Trump agenda and challenging Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his confirmation to be Health and Human Services Secretary.   Plus, Cassidy was one of seven GOP senators to vote to convict President Trump in his second impeachment trial on February 13, 2021 after he had already finished his first term. The vote was 57-43. Louisiana Republicans will now pick between Congresswoman Julia Letlow, whom Trump endorsed, and State Treasurer John Fleming in the upcoming run-off since neither one secure 50-plus percent of the vote. New acting FDA Commissioner worked as Planned Parenthood attorney The new Acting Commissioner for the Food and Drug Administration, Kyle Diamantas, previously worked as an attorney for Planned Parenthood. Now he says he regrets taking on the role. Diamantas told Live Action that he was assigned a case for Planned Parenthood, and, despite his opposition to abortion, he took the case. However, he later regretted his decision and asked to be recused. Diamantas also confirmed that a review of the Abortion Kill Pill is a top priority for the department. Deficits and cost of living in America are up And finally, the U.S. Office of Budget and Management is estimating a national deficit of $2 trillion for this fiscal year. That’s up 15% from Fiscal Year 2025 — the last year for which the Biden administration was responsible.   The Core Producer Price Index for this country has topped 5.2% —on a steady increase since last summer. The Producer Price Index stood at 2% in January of 2024, before the 2024 elections.  Food prices are up 32% since 2020. That’s an annualized whopping 4.7% per year — a pinch on the average middle class family.
