It is my opinion, but don't negate it as if there is no truth to the statement. Churches have stopped preaching the uncomprimised word of GOD because of money. They have stopped preaching and teaching on the fundamentals of Godly living because it forces them to speak out on things that are not politically correct. And the law and its favors have kept The Church in check. So The Church goes, So goes the nation.
The church should be speaking out on politics so loudly, that folks who want to get into politics will want to serve God and God only through their political platforms and policies. The church should be speaking out on politics so loudly, that politicians who are serving right now, should be shaking in their boots about accepting money under the table from an interest group. The church should be speaking out on politics so loudly, that the intrest group should be afriad to even approach a politician about some under handed stuff.
But The Church cant say anything, because The Church itself, has allowed itself to become that of an interest group and have allowed politics, crooked politics might I add, and greed, and false doctrines, and lusts of the flesh, and secrets, and scandals, to run a nation that houses God's chosen people. The Church, my friend, has lost its flavor.
