Churches should not be beholden to the powers and principalities. You become a slave to an evil master. There’s a price for everything.
No man can serve two masters, and all that.
“Churches should not be beholden to the powers and principalities. You become a slave to an evil master. There’s a price for everything.”
That should be shouted from the rooftops of every Church in the country.
Excellent, EXCELLENT point. What more could I add? That God Himself furnishes the price to pay for anything that's worthwhile.
Get out of the mushy middle, O school. Be a Christian witness from alpha to omega, at the price Jesus gladly paid on the cross.
I understand your view on this. I went to a university which refused to accept government support (although it did some projects on a quid pro quo basis which is separate from support). I support that stand completely.
But the time to stand up and fight is now, because this is the nose under the tent situation. Once a government decides it wants to control an entity, it can “find” government support at any time. It has already argued that a student on a veteran benefit or a government-guaranteed loan is the same as government support. It can go further to assert that roads to and from a school are government support, as is fire and police protection, utilities and garbage collection, zoning benefits, etc. ad infinitum. If it wants to find government involvement, it can and will. So, rather than capitulate at this point, the schools should fight and other potentially threatened organizations should join in the fight.
