The Alliance Defense Fund is urging churches to violate tax exemption laws Sunday by participating in “The Pulpit Initiative” or “Pulpit Freedom Sunday.” They would like participating churches to endorse a political candidate as a stunt to overturn tax laws stating that non-profits can lose their tax-exempt status by making political endorsements.
Funny, isn’t it? I recall Jesus setting up a Heavenly Kingdom and not trying to take control of an earthly one. I recall Him paying taxes and urging His followers to do the same, instead of trying to find ways to avoid taxation. The Jesus I know was more concerned with religious hypocrisy than He was political power.
Jesus was neither a Republican nor a Democrat. Christ’s primary concern wasn’t political or moral issues it was loving hurting people and rescuing them from sin they could not escape on their own. It would do the Alliance Defense Fund and the churches they have sucked into their web of self-righteousness to follow Christ’s lead and start being more concerned with Heaven than with becoming and creating sons of Hell.
True followers of Christ should see right through this and realize that the “ministers” involved in this act of lawlessness are not representing Christ, rather they are attempting to draw attention to themselves in an effort to gain power they should never have.
I must say this is a great article i enjoyed reading it keep the good work
