The Glenn Beck Program (internet stream plays 24/7) 
 GlennBeck.com:  Something incredible happened on radio today - a Colorado shelter for abused women that had recently lost its federal funding (because they refused to make their Bible study 'optional') had their prayers answered.  The owners took a leap of faith and when faced with an ultimatum - drop the mandatory Bible study or lose funding - they chose faith over cash.  They had no idea where they'd get the money, but trusted God would provide.  That's exactly what happened on radio today.  

The Blaze (excerpts):  Mandatory Bible studies have led to the loss of federal funds for two Colorado women's shelters.  The Gospel Shelter for Women centers, which are nonprofit organizations, offer assistance to individuals who are mentally ill.  Additionally, they provide transitional housing for the homeless and those struggling with addiction.  Apparently, the women who go through these facilities are required to participate in Bible studies as a portion of their treatment.  In the past, these studies were believed to be optional, so officials allowed monies to be allocated in support of the shelters; but the revelation that participants are forced to take part in religious activities has led to a major funding loss.  Faced with a tough decision, leaders of the organization decided to keep prayer and faith in the program.  Of course, the other option would be to continue accepting federal dollars, while taking faith out of the equation.  

Glenn interviewed Marilyn Vyzourek, the founder and executive director of Liza's Place on radio this morning, and during the interview, he decided he would step in and donate the lost funds to the group.  After explaining what the organization did, Glenn asked Marilyn how much the organization needed.  "I'm probably about $20,000 in the red.  We laid off one staff member, we're getting ready to lay off another one, and we just need to generate the funds in a different area.  We're still open.  We're still taking people for Hope Home and Liza's Place.  We've consolidated the two programs in one building and we're just looking for other areas of funding so that we can keep it open," she said.  "$55,000 is what we have lost," she explained.  "When you first heard that you were going to lose it, you had the faith that the Lord would replace it some way or another?" Glenn asked.  "Yes," she said.  "Okay, good.  We're going to send you a check for $55,000.  My wife and I would like to make sure that you don't lay any more people off and you keep those doors open," Glenn said.  "Oh, thank you so much.  Praise God.  Wow," Marilyn exclaimed.  Glenn then had one of his producers speak with Marilyn offline about getting her group the money they needed.

Commentary:  The feds will chop up unborn babies all day long for billions, even late-term babies, but bring up the name of God in a charitable program which helps the suffering - forget it!  History has proven that faith-based drug rehabilitation programs, such as "Teen Challenge" and many others, have changed the lives of people drastically, pulling them off of the street, getting them drug free, housed and rehabilitated.  Faith or no faith, you can't argue with the statistics.  Besides that, no one was forcing these abused and addicted women to stay in the programs; they were free to leave at any time, if they chose not to participate in the Bible study.  This group has the strong, rock-steady faith in God to survive.  Nevertheless, the socialistic federal government, who has kicked God clear out of the schools and many other places throughout the nation, will see their empire crumble, just as all other such governments have crumbled throughout history; but God and His people remain the same, yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).  If all the people with faith in God throughout this nation had pulled their children from the unGodly, agnostic public school system, when they kicked God out, we would not be in the mess we are in today.  John The Baptist said to the wicked governing officials of His day, "When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, "Oh generation of vipers (snakes), who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" Matthew 3:7.  John wouldn't even baptize them, because he knew their hearts and their evil ways.  God requires us to stand against those who oppose Him.  The apostle Paul said, "If we suffer, we will reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us" 2 Timothy 2:12.  We need to ask ourselves, are we going with the political flow, or are we truly making a stand for Jesus?
