COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n The\u00a0Continuing<\/em>\u00a0Church of God<\/a>\u00a0(CCOG) put together the following\u00a0Bible News Prophecy<\/em>\u00a0video on our\u00a0Bible News Prophecy<\/a>\u00a0YouTube channel, the audio portion of which was sent for broadcast on the\u00a0European Gospel Radio<\/em>\u00a0station AM 1323 kHz last Monday 21:30-21:45 (9:30-9:45 PM) European Central Time:<\/p>\n The United States just passed its ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ which is supposed to result in the hiring of 87,000 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees. Some believe that the IRS will once again target ‘conservative churches’ and others who hold to certain biblical standards–particularly those churches who are 501 (c) (3) registered. In 1954, a law, called the Johnson Amendment, went into affect prohibiting 501 (c)(3) organizations from being involved in support or opposition of political candidates. As more and more religious topics, such as sexual ones, become categorized as ‘political,’ this has caused some churches to not “cry aloud and spare not” on various topics. Do American churches need to be 501 (c) (3) registered? If not, why not? Why did the Continuing Church of God pick a different way? Shouldn’t churches work while they can, like Jesus did and avoid being slaves to men as the Apostle Paul wrote? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie go over many of these points.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here is a link to our video: 501c3 and Sparing Not<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Some items of related interest may include: Preparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word<\/a> What is the ‘short work’ of Romans 9:28?
