The Internal Revenue Service announced on Monday this Expansion A control of churches and other worship homes that need to avoid them from endorsing candidates for the political office.
The root ban on arrival back in 1954 is a nonprofit conservative group of published materials that recommend voters who support Johnson’s provokers. To what many are believed to have been refributing, Johnson introduces a CHANGES In section 501 (c) (3) on the IRS code, the ban on organizations free of charge to political campaigns. Many carry it as a test of muzzle preachers.
Size is rarely, if implemented. Many black and white liberal preachers invite most democratic candidates to their election services, given them tacit, if incorrect, endorsements. Their tax-free tax conditions are not aconced. Issues from the Vietnam war of civil rights.
In one degree this is a freedom of the issue of saying, but not all freedoms should exercise. The larger question is: Who benefits the least and least from the IRS ruling? Some politicians benefit, but the churches that see it as an opportunity to jump in political waters can harm their main mission. Besides, many churches have members with different political views. For the pastor who participates in political partisan is running at risk that some of them will leave. I want to.
There is always an assumption of those who encourage more political involvement that members who do not know about politics and cannot form their own opinions without their teachings from their preachers from their preachers from their preachers from their preachers from their preachers from their preachers from their preachers. Organizations – Liberal, but most conservative – extends a lot of money promoting a mix between church and state.

That’s how I feel about the politics of the pulpit. Politicians and preachers should always remain on their own paths. If the Scriptures clearly tell the scripture in a contemporary issue, including marriage, gender, abortion and the wisdom found in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, I am willing to listen. But don’t listen to me who’s pastor would prefer next election. I’m not without information and anyone else when they spend time researching.
Religious people have a perfect right – indeed the country requires them – to express their views in the public square. Many of our fans are used correctly and the principles found in the declaration of freedom and other documents showing their worldment. And yes, colonial preachers are often based on their political sermons, praise or criticism. But that exception should not make a rule.
One of the reasons quoted for getting to attend America’s Church is so many more young people believe that political churches and the Republican Party.
For those who disagree, I have quoted the last state of the state of the Church. When Jesus stood before Poncio Pilate, he said: “My kingdom is not in the world” (John 18:36). That should be good for everyone to put their priorities in the right order.
