As you probably already know, I have never been shy about addressing political issues (a.k.a biblical issues) or endorsing political candidates from the pulpit at Sheridan.Church.
However, this had led to Sheridan.Church being reported to the IRS thousands of times (not an exaggeration either) for violating the "Separation of Church and State."
Last night, the New York Times released an article that will serve as a devastating blow to that line of thinking that churches cannot politically engage.
The I.R.S. admitted that churches CAN ENDORSE CANDIDATES FROM THE PULPIT!
Now there is no excuse for Pastors/Churches to avoid an issue that they should have never avoided in the first place.
The removal of this fear tactic, I believe, may usher in the greatest Christian engagement politically since the founding of our Nation.
Generational change may be happening before our very eyes.
Let's Keep Winning!
Thank you,
Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer
