IN the NEWS - Wells Fargo Case Study of Romans 8:7

For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Romans 8:7 ESV

This would make a good Case Study of Romans 8:7---what Wells Fargo is doing.
1- An Example of how the world is Opposed to Biblical principles and will oppose church schools that don't bow at the altar of LGBT.
2- How the media (in this case a newspaper) is obsessed with everything looked at through the prism of LGBT that they waste time researching if church schools don't accept LGBT ideology. Then the paper sets about to try and destroy those schools.
3- The real thing to keep in mind---it's not so much HATE for these Christians that Wells Fargo and the Newspaper have--rather it is HATE for the God of these Christians and His standards that the HATE....although they will never phrase it that way.

"Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida has denounced Wells Fargo for withdrawing donations from a state voucher program because some of the schools students are choosing to attend oppose homosexuality and transgender ideology.

Last month, Wells Fargo, along with Fifth Third Bank, withdrew donations to the Step Up for Students program after The Orlando Sentinel reported that some of the schools involved in the program have conservative policies on LGBT issues.

We have reviewed this matter carefully and have decided to no longer support Step Up for Students,” said Wells Fargo in a statement, The Hill reported.
All of us at Wells Fargo highly value diversity and inclusion, and we oppose discrimination of any kind.”
Rubio said Wells Fargo and others withdrawing support from the scholarship fund were only hurting the less fortunate with their decisions.
Rubio explained that the scholarship program allows parents to choose which school to send their children to and many of the options are schools without official biblical stances on LGBT issues.
Doing what they did is not going to hurt those schools. Those schools are not going to abandon the Bible over a government program. They existed before this program,” said Rubio.
Who they are hurting are low-income kids, because they are not going to be able to go to school and probably not go to a school that doesn’t have those policies, by the way.”
