We all know that the church is under attack in America. The article below is one I read this morning from Christian Law Association (CLA) regarding new taxes that state governments are trying to impose on churches and other non-profits. Fortunately it's not too late to try and do something about it. Read on to find out how you can help....


There is no question America’s churches receive less favorable treatment from government and from society than they did forty or fifty years ago. Churches are less respected and less influential in today’s culture than our Founding Fathers intended them to be. With less respect comes less appreciation for what churches contribute to society.

For example, budget gaps are pushing local governments to develop an array of new fees—some of which are being applied to nonprofits, including churches.

Nonprofits and churches are becoming an untapped source of new revenue. Previously, churches were not taxed because the government believed they provided a valuable resource for society. The church civilized its members and made them good citizens. The church cared for the poor and distressed. Government wanted to make sure churches had as much revenue as possible to carry out these important non-governmental functions.

This view is changing. Government now sees churches, not as cultural partners and service providers, but as sources of additional revenue. Today the government has attempted to take over many of the charitable and civilizing functions of churches.

Some in the federal government have suggested donations to churches and nonprofit groups should no longer be tax exempt. Fortunately, that step has not yet been taken. But other steps are being taken, primarily at the local level. We must be on alert.

The Christian Law Association continues on the front lines of this and other battles. Strong local churches not under the control or taxation of the government are necessary for our nation to return to its heritage and once again honor God in our land. At CLA, we are honored to stand with and serve the Bible-believing local churches of our land. We encourage you to stand with us.
