Woke companies that target Christians and conservatives
Fox News has put together a list of woke companies that go after conservatives and Christians in the U.S.
Bank of America tops the list of banks, as well as U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, and First Republic.
Under the transportation category, the woke-est companies include Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines.
In the retail category, the worst culprits now include Best Buy, Home Depot, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Madewell, Target, and Walmart. The woke-est online retailers include Amazon, Chewy, eBay, Etsy, and Shopify.
The food and beverage “wokies” include Ben & Jerry’s, Coca-Cola, Kellogg’s, McDonald’s, PepsiCo, Starbucks, and the J.M. Smucker Company.
The study is based on the 1792 Exchange review of 1,000 companies on “the likelihood a company will cancel a contract or client, or boycott, divest, or deny services based on views or beliefs.”
Disturbingly, Home Depot “advertised flyers to its employees about confronting their ‘white privilege, Christian privilege, heterosexual privilege, able-bodied privilege,’ etc.”
Fake Medical Sharing group was a scam
What was purported to be the Medical Cost Sharing Ministry has been closed down by the FBI.
It targeted “like-minded Christians,” but according to government estimates, collected $7.5 million over eight years, but only dispersed $246,000 in covering health care bills, reports the Kansas City Star.
Founders James L. McGinnis and Craig A. Reynolds were previous insurance salesmen who allegedly used the scam for their own enrichment.
Legitimate Christian medical sharing ministries include Samaritan Ministries that services 283,000 families, and commits “to retaining no more than 20% of member shares for administrative purposes.”
Plus, Christian Healthcare Ministries claims 425,000 members and Medi-Share has 400,000 members sharing $6 billion per year in medical needs.
Church of England approves blessing homosexual relationships
Earlier this month, the Church of England General Synod voted to approve blessing homosexual relationships by a vote of 250 to 181. However, the group is hardly relevant anymore.
The breakaway Global Anglican Future Conference now represents 35,000,000 active Anglicans, according to World Magazine. And weekly church attendance for the England communion is only 605,000 persons on a Sunday. That’s only 0.9% of the population of the nation, down from 5% in 1960, and down from 40% in 1900.
Winter weather hit Southern California
Southern California was slammed with heavy winter weather over the weekend, with a four-day total of 56 inches on Donner Summit in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Plus, Ventura County was hit with seven inches of rain. At this time in the season, the average snowpack is 156% of average. And overall precipitation for the state registers at 132% of average, year to date.
In addition, there is more snow to come this week in Southern California, according to the weather forecasts.
Matthew 5:45 says, “Your Father in Heaven. . . makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
Archeology verifies Bible
Archeology has once more verified ancient biblical records, concerning the Amorites who once controlled some part of the land of Canaan.
Two clay tablets, dated in the 21st century BC around the time of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are now determined to have been written in the Amorite language. As reported in Live Science, some of the phrases have similar sounds to Hebrew. That’s not surprising in light of the fact the Amorites lived together for a time in Canaan, until Joshua and others drove them out. The writings refer to Amorite gods and sacrifices.
Joshua told the Israelites in Joshua 24:15 “If it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
Christian school forfeits because opposing team’s trans athlete
The Mid-Vermont Christian School girls’ basketball team forfeited their fourth game in the playoffs last week because a member of the opposing team was a boy pretending to be a girl, reports Fox News.
Vicky Fogg, the Head of School, stated that they withdrew from the tournament because they did not want to compromise the safety of their players. Plus, the White River Junction-based leader said, the “biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game.”
Japan boasts the world’s oldest population
And finally, the world’s oldest population lives in Japan.
The next three oldest populations are found in Italy, Finland, and Puerto Rico. As of this year, 30% of the Japanese population is over 65 years of age.
Portugal, Greece, Hong Kong, and South Korea are on the rise, soon to catch up with Japan with as much as 40% of the population exceeding 65 years of age, 25 years from now.

Jimmy Carter: Jesus is not to be worshiped, “gay” marriage okay
As he prepares to meet his Maker, former President Jimmy Carter’s faith is under the magnifying glass by Americans who read his books.
His most recent book, Faith: A Journey for All, states that “To me, Jesus Christ is not an object to be worshipped but a person and a constant companion.”
In addition, as recently as 2018, Carter announced that “Jesus Christ would approve gay marriage,” reports TheHill.com.
