Started in Europe, moved to Canada......churches are being bullied by the government to provide abortion and birth control, berated if they say homosexuality is a sin.
Do you really beleive that pastors don’t hold back?
Churches need to say what the Bible says, teach the truth without fear of the government.
Tax exempt status is a control mechanism.
Well, I can't speak for all churches, but the church I currently attend does not. Pastor always preaches based on what the bible says is right, and doesn't address it from a political issue standpoint. (Which is what he should do.)
