“The IRS has
succeeded in gagging Christians.”
Rev. D. James
Kennedy* has
stated:
- “The
federal government has proved a tremendous impediment to the ongoing
work of Christians. In all the laws that they have passed against
Christian schools, gagging the church, taxation, and all kinds of
things that they have done, they have made it harder for the church to
exercise its prerogatives and to preach the gospel.
-
- "Take
the last presidential election. There were numbers of things that I knew
that I was never able to say from the pulpit because if you advance the
cause of one candidate or impede the cause of the other you can lose
your tax exemption. That would have been disastrous not only for the
church, but for our school and our seminary, everything. So you are
gagged. You cannot do that. The IRS, a branch of our government,
has succeeded in gagging Christians."
Acceptance
of State favors has, indeed, had "disastrous"
consequences on the churches in America. The church has been effectively
silenced (or as Dr. Kennedy put it, "gagged"). Now the
disastrous consequences are being felt by the entire nation.
Is
there a remedy? Yes! The church can be re-empowered and regain the former
glory and influence she once knew in America. But in order to do so the
church must stop acting as an underling, as a subordinate, as a dependent,
of the State. The church must cease asking for State favors.
- Because
that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the
Gentiles. (3John
1:7)
