Homeland Security: ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people who he hath chosen for his own inheritance.’ —Psalm 33:12

May God continue to shed his grace on our great nation.

This is an interesting editorial re: religion and the impact it can have on society....if done correctly.

Let's Fan The Flames Of Religious Revival Among America's Youth

Older Christians must commit to providing new converts with the support, discipleship, and community they need to thrive in life-long faith.

This is very encouraging because, as I write in my new book, What Really Matters: Restoring a Legacy of Faith, Freedom, and Family (Fidelis, 2026), it is faith that gives people purpose, makes men strong and compassionate leaders, provides protection for women and children, and makes America steadfast and vibrant.

It is faith that brings us together as a nation, rather than the “all about me” mantra of secularization that drives us into individual tribes seeking to glorify self over others. America was built on civic groups and other associations, such as churches. And without a rock such as local religious bodies to attach to, people become morally, emotionally, and physically adrift.

As Wilson noted, being committed to a church body strengthens other commitments in life, including marriage and family, which provide the cornerstone upon which a healthy society is constructed. The fruit of such commitments is restorative. Within healthy marriages and families, children can better know the love of two parents, and society no longer needs government-subsidized Band-Aids to mask problems that can only be repaired by faith and personal dedication. Most of all, strong marriage and family bonds restore hope for a solid foundation of faith, fidelity, and the life-changing results these bring.

Government Workers Say They’re Getting Inundated With Religion

“This has never happened before,” one government employee tells WIRED. “I have never gotten a message like this from anyone.”

Government Workers Say They’re Getting Inundated With Religion​

“This has never happened before,” one government employee tells WIRED. “I have never gotten a message like this from anyone.”
On Easter Sunday, US Department of Agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins sent out an email titled “He has risen!” to the entire agency. In the email, Rollins calls the story of Jesus Christ the “greatest story ever told, the foundation of our faith, and the abiding hope of all mankind.

...“Since then, faith offices have sprung up across agencies, and Christianity has started appearing in office life. A July 2025 memo from the Office of Personnel Management titled “Protecting Religious Expression in the Federal Workplace” permits federal employees to essentially proselytize to their colleagues, so long as trying to “persuade others of the correctness of their own religious views” doesn’t cross the line into harassment. The memo also permits workers to “encourage” their colleagues “to participate in religious expressions of faith, such as prayer.” In response to a request for comment, an OPM spokesperson referred WIRED to the July 2025 memo.”

As long as it is voluntary and not coerced it is legal is my understanding. If one's participation is ever tied to job promotion, raises, etc., then the Rubicon has been crossed. I'm not saying that I agree with it, just that such actions are legal. Of course, so would promoting the practice of Islam or any other faith.
