DARE TO BE A DANIEL

Some of you have heard that the IRS has been cracking down on churches, some have even had their tax exempt status questioned. Well wait until you hear this . . . "In 1954, Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, was angry at some churches who opposed him. He thought he would teach them a lesson by legislating a gag rule for them and every other church in America. He offered an amendment that permanently extended the reach of the IRS into our nation's churches, parachurches, and nonprofit organizations. The amendment was accepted unanimously without debate.

'Since that time,' said Congressman Walter B. Jones (R-NC), 'the IRS has turned the 501(c)(3) code-section on its head in an attempt to punish pastors for communicating the principles of their faith during an election period.' So Congressman Jones, along with former House Majority
Whip, Tom Delay, introduced the House of Worship Political Speech Protection Act, which would free churches their First Amendment freedoms just like everyone else. If you care about restoring freedom to our churches, this bill MUST BE PASSED.

Barry Lynn of the Americans United for Separation of Church and State is sending people to churches to videotape sermons for any irregularities and report them to IRS. Lynn is joined by the so-called Mainstream Coalition, which has about a hundred volunteers monitoring churches to see whether pastors are abiding by federal laws governing political activity by nonprofit institutions." from THE CRIMINALIZATION OF CHRISTIANITY published by Multnomah.

Sound familiar? Remember Daniel? Daniel refused to bow and worship the pagan Gods. He stood firm for his convictions. And the result? Tossed in the lions den. THEN GOD SHOWED UP and honored David for his obedience and faithfulness. The King repented and declared: "I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the
God of Daniel; FOR HE IS THE LIVING GOD AND ENDURING FOREVER. AND HIS
KINGDOM IS ONE WHICH WILL NOT BE DESTROYED. AND HIS DOMINION WILL BE
FOREVER. HE DELIVERS AND RESCUES AND PERFORMS SIGNS AND WONDERS IN
HEAVEN AND ON EARTH, WHO HAS ALSO DELIVERED DANIEL FROM THE POWER OF THE LIONS!" (Daniel 6:26-27)
