Ok, it could just be early but when you say “they loose their grip” do you mean the church or government?

If you mean the church, it is a sad commentary that people tithe because they get a tax deduction. People should tithe because we are commanded by God to do so.

I mean the only excuse the Feds have to monitor what’s going on inside a church is tax exemption bait which the churches freely accept. If you accept the benefit you accept the strings attached. If you don’t follow the rules you agree to when you accept the money then you are not being a faithful witness.

People should tithe

It's well-known that only the Democrat supporters find exemption under the IRS rules. TUCC even got $15M in government funds (interestingly, after Obambi was in a place where his help could have influenced such direction of funds).

We need to trumpet how the US government actually supports Christianity! Er, uh, TUChurch of Christ! Ooops, well, you know. That's probably because one can be an unrepentant, un-baptized Muslim and still be a member in good standing there.
