Disturbing 501c3 Corporate Church Report

Disturbing 501c3 Corporate Church Report

by Scott Johnson – February 2009

 

In order to be licensed as a “legal” church eligable for tax exempt status, the government requires a church to incorporate as what is called a 501c3 non-profit organization. In so doing, the government has control over those churches and will have its nose in the financial affairs of the local church and its members.

Christ Died For The Ungodly

by Horatius Bonar

The divine testimony concerning man is, that he is a sinner. God bears witness against him, not for him; and testifies that "there is none righteous, no, not one"; that there is "none that doeth good"; none "that understandeth"; none that even seeks after God, and, still more, none that loves Him (Psa. 14:1-3; Rom. 3:10-12).
