1. NC VALUES: About the Supreme Court's
recent Title IX decision
NC Values has received a number of calls and inquiries from around
the state asking if the recent decision by the Supreme Court on
Biden’s Title IX re-write affects North Carolina.
As many of you know, Title IX was enacted in 1972 to prohibit sex
discrimination in educational institutions K-higher education. Its
intent was to guarantee to female students equal educational and
athletic opportunities afforded to boys and young men. The eight
lawsuits, which include 26 states, one school district, two students
and five private organizations, filed against the Biden Administration
challenge this new definition. In every lawsuit, the lower courts have
temporarily stopped enforcement of the Title IX regulations.
The new Title IX regulations redefine “sex” to include, among other
things, “gender identity” within the definition of “sex.”

4. FOX NEWS: ‘Abortion-palooza’
at DNC could force pro-life Democrats to ditch party: ‘It's just
absolutely disgusting’
"Democrats are throwing an 'abortion-palooza' in Chicago for the
Democratic National Convention. 'They’re degrading human life and
women for that matter. It's just absolutely disgusting. This continued
celebration of abortion,' Democrats For Life of America executive
director Kristen Day told Fox News Digital. Day is appalled that
Planned Parenthood is offering free abortions inside a 'mobile health
clinic' parked in Chicago during the convention. Pro-abortion
activists also marched through the streets of Chicago ahead of the
convention."

Weekly Prayer: NC Officials
LORD, you also have instructed us to pray for our governing
officials, and we come to you in the spirit of this petition. We pray
for our state government and its executive, legislative, and judicial
servants. May they indeed be servants unto the people, and govern in a
manner that protects liberty and virtue. In the same spirit, we pray
for public servants across our local governments. May they all heed
your mandate in Romans 13:4 to be in positions of authority as "God's
servant" and for the "good" of the public. They govern in what we
confess are difficult times. May they plead with you to give them
wisdom, and may your grace to govern wisely be poured out on
them.
Protect us from the oppression and loss of freedoms that other
countries have experienced, and help us to value and preserve freedom,
which we know comes only from You.
"I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I
have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free." Acts
7:34
Amen
