Anti-God liberals are targeting Christians in their places of work, attempting to shut down businesses owned by Christians, and threatening the livelihoods of faithful Americans.
Just a few months ago, the liberal media wrote a hit piece about HGTV’s Chip and Joanna Gaines, which targeted them for attending a church that believes in natural marriage. The radical Left called for the Gaineses to be pulled off the air.
A couple in Oregon is facing a court date and a $135,000 fine for declining to make a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding ceremony. Aaron and Melissa Klein were forced to close their bakery — which they hoped to pass on to their children — after liberals protested.
In Michigan, the Vander Boon family risks having their meatpacking plant shut down, leaving employees jobless and the owners sent into bankruptcy because the government has targeted them for their Christian beliefs.
The assault on our faith is only intensifying, and if CCU is going to continue training young Christian conservatives who will stand in defense of traditional values, we're going to need your help!

These are a few examples of situations going on in our country today. I could name some more. Here's one -
A farm in Missouri was forced to shut down because of a false accusation that the cheese they were producing contained the bacteria which causes listeria. They were told that once the cheese was tested and if it were fine, they would be able to open their farm up again. The cheese tested fine, but the farm was never reopened.
And another -
A bank teller in N.C. receives a Gospel tract that looks like a million dollar bill. Supposedly, someone went to the bank and tried to use it. The Feds were called in and the Secret Service made a trip to the address on the Gospel tracts, which was in Texas. The Secret Service men went into the warehouse where the tracts were stored and, without a warrant, removed many of them. The Secret Service also told them that they would make a trip to Living Waters in California, and would shut them down. Living Waters sold all their million dollar bill tracts that day and the Secret Service guys never showed up. Because the Secret Service men had broken the law, it took 10 rounds of court hearings before any action against them was taken.
We are continually receiving reports that children who are under a doctor's care or are in a hospital, many times, are removed from the parent's authority. The children are placed in other homes, simply because there was something suspicious about the family. Sometimes, the children were removed from the homes simply because the parents wanted a second opinion concerning their child's diagnosis.
And then, finally, there is the florist in Washington State, named Baronnelle Stutzman, who was in business for 30 some years. One of her customers, Robert Ingersoll, was a faithful customer, and became a good friend for at least 10 years. When Ingersoll requested Stutzman make a wedding cake for him and his partner who he was going to marry, Stutzman informed her friend that she could not do this. Ingersoll seemed to understand. Not sure what happened after this, but, the governing authorities in Washington State were made aware of what happened, and claimed that Stutzman had acted in an act of discrimination against Ingersoll. Now, she is potentially, going to lose her business. This incident is backed by the ACLU and now she is being sued by Washington State.
May God have mercy on us as a nation. May justice be rightly distributed in our land. May people in this country learn the 'fear of the Lord'.
