We Pastors, Congregations, and Denominations Need to Get a Backbone
Why is something practiced in black churches (filled with Democrats) for decades now being called a potential violation of current law when conservative churches and pastors engage the same practice?
Pastors, Congregations, and denominations need to get a backbone!
In Daniel’s day the government (King and his corrupt administration) signed a law that made praying to any person other than the King punishable by death in the fiery furnace - they hated Daniel and his people so the only thing they could do to stop them was to criminalize something connected with their religious freedom.
In the 1950s corrupt Lyndon B Johnson was being undercut by churches and other non-profits in his reelection bid for senate and so he wrote up the now infamous “Johnson Amendment” making it illegal for churches to support a candidate or party - and the punishment was to lose their tax exempt status. Here’s what one law professor says in the article linked below:
“Johnny Buckles, a professor at the University of Houston Law Center, agreed that the churches working with Turning Point are most likely violating tax law as interpreted by the IRS — though he sees the Johnson Amendment itself as a violation of free speech rights under the First Amendment.”
This IS a violation of the First Amendment 100% and pastors and churches need to stop fearing the threat of the furnace of losing their tax exemption. I pray that Tr5mp makes good on his promise to end this discrimination against evangelical churches.
Furthermore, Why haven’t the liberal media talked about this the last decades as black (full of Democrats) churches have one Dem candidate after another in their pulpits during election years? Why only when the rest of Christian churches (predominantly conservative in their politics) get involved are they concerned about violating some partisan amendment that clearly tramples the Constitution and the first amendment?
Here’s the article from leftist media NBC:

Are you tired of being told to “go to your room” by the leftists and liberals when it comes to addressing issues and engaging in the process from a biblical perspective? When darkness reigns the nation (our neighbors) suffer. Light shows the truth and that is the greatest fear of the godless amongst us.
“This little light of mine” I’m going to make it a search light - forget the “little light” metaphor - America needs 10 billion lumens of life transforming truth shared with Christ’s love, compassion, and mercy to a people who have lost their way and are searching for the truth.
Jesus said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 - He said it, and I believe it.
Time for a bold biblical backbone, Church.



Let those in the pulpit preach God's word. Preach against the political acts of destruction that the Bible warns against. Preach for a God-fearing country that has been richly blessed by God and your congregations will know who to vote for. Thanks for your concern, pastor.
They almost got rid of the Johnson Amendment in the first Trump administration so pray they succeed this time.
