Nigeria is a dangerous place for Christians, as violent attacks from Islamic extremist groups like Boko Haram are common, resulting in more Christian deaths than any other country. There is ongoing conflict between the Muslim north and Christian south over attempts to spread Islam throughout Nigeria, causing tensions, killings, and economic issues like food shortages. Prayers are requested for peace in Nigeria, protection and wisdom for Christians, assistance for displaced people and converted Muslims, and support of ministries helping the vulnerable.
Islam in Australia is a minority religious group.While the Australian Muslim community is defined largely by religious belonging, the Muslim community is fragmented racially, ethnically, culturally and linguistically. Members of the Australian Muslim community thus also espouse parallel non-religious ethnic identities with related non-Muslim counterparts, either within Australia or abroad.

This poses great threat to national security and socio-economic development. Nigeria, for decades is sharing from this ugly incidence. This study therefore examines the religion and the challenge of the national security. The study was descriptive in nature; therefore, participatory approach was employed through interview of the sampled subjects. The subject was drawn from mostly the adherents of the Christianity, Islam and African religions; they include: religions scholars, priests and the adherents of these religions in Oyo Township. The study reveal among other that; religions crises is a serious threat to unity of Nigeria, that the core values of these religions are; love of neighbor, peaceful co-existence and sacredness of human life.

Recommendations were made that; government at all levels should withdraw their involvement from religion and that the religion leaders should emphasize the care values of religion in their preaching. Also, religious education should be made compulsory at all levels of education in Nigeria.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Nigeria
1.
2.
3. Nigeria is ranked the 9th most dangerous
place to live if you are a Christian
More Christians are murdered for their faith
in Nigeria than in any other country. Violent
attacks by Boko Haram, Hausa-Fulani Muslim
militant herdsmen, ISWAP (an affiliate of the
Islamic State group) and other Islamic
extremist groups are common in the north
and middle belt of the country, and are
becoming more common farther south.
4. There is constant war between the North and
the South which makes living conditions very
difficult
The North (made up mainly of Muslims) is
trying to infiltrate the South and force the
people to become Muslims
This causes much tension and there are many
senseless killings
On top of this, the North no longer sells food
to the South, causing severe famines and
inflation
5. Pray that God will restore peace to Nigeria
Pray He would protect His people and give
wisdom
Pray for those who have been displaced and
especially for the Muslims who have
converted to Christianity
Pray for ministries such as Open Doors and
TETMI as they continue to help the vulnerable
and share the gospel in this very difficult time
