US Department of Education Plans To Rescind Protections For Christian Groups

What would happen to a Christian group or ministry that can’t have Christian leaders or employ Christians? Well, it would very quickly cease to be Christian! And that’s what will happen to Christian groups on college campuses if the US Department of Education does indeed do what it’s trying to do—“rescind regulations which protect religious organizations on public college and university campuses.”

What the US Department of Education is trying to do is roll back protections that allow Christian (and other religious) groups on campuses to require their leaders to agree with their statement of faith. Of course, we all know this has to do with LGBTQ and abortion issues—they don’t want Christians to be able to have group leaders who hold Christian beliefs, such as marriage is only between one man and one woman, gender is male or female, and abortion is murder. They know if Christian groups can’t have truly Christian leaders, they will eventually cease to be Christian!

And of course we know the secular groups won’t have their leaders be born-again Christians.

Yes, there is an increasingly insidious attack on Christians here in America. We need to pray for this nation and also be prepared to stand for Christ—no matter the consequences.

‘They Want Us To Shut Our Mouths’: Large Banks Debanked, Discriminated Against Customers For Christian Views

Nine of the nation’s largest banks relied on subjective decision-making and the opinions of advocacy organizations to terminate customer accounts or deny service to potential customers—often because of Biblical beliefs on key moral issues—between 2020 and September 2025. The findings, released Wednesday, were part of a report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that charters, regulates, and supervises banks and federal savings associations.

No More Excuses Or Theological Gymnastics: Christians Are Called To Love The Jewish People

I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ, but I’m wounded when I hear fellow believers dismiss or attack Israel and the Jewish people. The laundry list of excuses for this behavior includes many acrobatic contortions of Scripture that distance Christians from Jewish people. Antisemitic tropes also play a part in these condemnations. So does misinformation about the Jewish nation, as many Christians understand little of the State of Israel’s history of fighting for its life in defensive wars. They look at the nation’s activity in Gaza and Iran as an unforgivable sin because of the negative optics of military conflict, and they refuse to honor Scripture’s call to bless His Chosen People—even those who have never set foot in Israeli land.

In A Culture Of Trendy Lies, It Is Time To Speak Up More Clearly In Support Of Israel And The Jewish People

We must remember our friends and our allies around the world—particularly Israel and the Jewish people, the one distinct ethnic group of people about which God tells us in His Word to bless and to support. In Genesis 12:3, what did God say to Abraham? “I will bless those who bless you.” Yet many people these days, including a lot of Christians, think that it is trendy, intellectual-sounding, or will garner clicks to oppose things all related to the Jews. Anti-Semitism is on the rise around the world. 2025 was designated by the Anti-Defamation League as the deadliest year of anti-Semitism. Three months after October 7th in 2023, anti-Semitism had risen 360%.
