NON-NEWS OF CHRISTIAN MASSACRES
"Incidents of violence and persecution against Christians shoot up in India." This was reported on Mar. 24, 2024. We had an Indian pastor in our online "Morning Prayers" last year who was telling us about the growing anti-Christian persecution by Hindu extremists. He said his life was in danger. We haven't seen him online or heard from him in over a year now. Did you see or hear anything in the MSM (MainStream Media) about this? No? That's because it's "Non-News"!
Here's another news item you probably haven't seen or heard of: 
"Tragic Massacre: 70 Christians Beheaded in DRC Church Attack." As this Feb. 21, 2025 article states, the victims had been kidnapped by "Allied Democratic Forces" (ADF) Muslim terrorists. Did you see or hear anything in the MSM bout this? No? That's because it's "Non-News"!
And another news story, on Apr. 7, 2025: "Pakistan’s Persecution of Christians Hits Alarming New Heights." Again, Islamic extremists have been attacking "infidels" – mainly Christians. Have you seen or heard anything in the MSM (MainStream Media) about this? No? That's because it's "Non-News"!
Still another news item, on Jun. 16, 2025: "Up to 200 Christians killed by extremists in overnight massacre in Nigeria." Again, Muslim extremists are on the warpath against Christian "infidels." Heard anything in the MSM about this? No? That's because it's "Non-News"! What's going on here?
And yet another news story, on Jun. 22, 2025: "Deadly Terrorist Attack Targets Greek Orthodox Church in Syria." Again, Muslim extremists, this time associated with ISIS, murdered at least 25 Christians right in the middle of their Liturgy worship service, injured many more, and severely damaged their church. Did you see or hear anything in the MSM about this? No? That's because it's "Non-News"! Enough already? Do you get the point?
There's more we could include, for example, the thousands of innocent civilians killed in Ukraine by Russian missiles, flying bombs, drones, and artillery shells. Russia's war of aggression and war crimes of genocide are inexcusable by the lame cover of "encroachment by NATO" and "protecting Holy Rus'" – mere smokescreens for imperialistic expansionism. Even some Christians and politicians in the West have been deceived by Russia's disinformation.
The MSM doesn't simply report the news anymore: it filters world events through an ideological seive, and events that pass through their left-wing, anti-Christian narrative filter get reported with the appropriate "spin" to portray those events as positive, contributing to the utopian vision of their "progressive" worldview. Events that don't match with their worldview simply aren't worth reporting: we wouldn't want anything to spoil the beautiful vision of the new world utopia, would we?
Honesty in reporting requires that the news should be presented as fair and balanced, not one-sided, promoting a certain worldview, nor refusing to report on events that don't fit their approved worldview. Of course, every adult person has developed a worldview, so how do we keep what they report or don't report from affecting what we think and believe? We can only think and believe based on the information made available to us. The answer is for us as news consumers to get our news from a variety of sources, and for news providers to give various viewpoints on a given topic. I've found that Newsweek.com (free daily emails!) is a good example of balanced reporting from both sides of an issue.
"Utopia" means "nowhere." It doesn't exist on this planet Earth. Manmade attempts to create a utopia on earth end up creating a monster. The real coming paradise is made without human hands: "I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a Bride adorned for her Husband" (Revelation 21:2). The Bride of Christ is the Church: see You are the Body of Christ, and here's how to do it: Ministering to Build Up the Body of Christ. It's not a human effort, it's Christ our God working through His Body, the Church!
