Please read, this is true!
What can we do?
Funding Anti/War Protesters with our Tithes? YES!
Could it possibly be that my church is supporting and financing our peace protesters who carry signs calling our President sick and horrible names while burning our flag and denigrating everything that is good about this Country? That Tithes are being used to finance such a cause? Is it possible that Pastors baptizing our courageous sons, daughters, fathers and mothers on the battlefields this very day are at the same time undermining our Troops efforts on the home front? Is this possible! The answer is yes and this is how.
The "National Council of Churches" web site at
http://www.ncccusa.org, front page under "Quick Reference/Member Communions" I found my religion was listed along with thirty-five others denominations as "members". Included were, American Baptist Churches, Christian Methodist, Episcopal Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church, Presbyterian Church, United Methodist Church and many more, all of whom support the NCC.
Scrolling down the front page to "Links to Denominational and Ecumenical Statements"; Clicking on "Related Web Sites" and scrolling down finding " United for Peace:
http://www.unitedforpeace.org., I was directly taken to the "United for Peace & Justice" Anti/War web site.
At this site I read twenty-two pages of instructions for Anti/War Protests for "California" Christians of the Protestant, Orthodox and Anglican congregations. Twenty-two pages of dates, locations and targets, (listing everything from Naval bases, Corporations) and ways to harass the President of the United States.
If asked directly to donate to the Anti/War movement my response would be a firm "NO"! Therefore, I was astonished to find that I already make donations with my Tithing.
If the church chooses to finance groups that undermine our democratically elected President of the United States we must all ask ourselves just exactly what is going on in this great Nation?
However, not every Pastor necessarily needs to agree or does agree with the agenda of the NCC; the few I spoke with are down right disgusted. Nevertheless, as long as the Mother Church is a member; pressure to conform to the NCC policies is passed down to her congregations, worse yet, a portion of our Tithes are passed to the National Council of Churches who finance the Anti/War protesters.
I am not asking anyone to leave his or her House of worship. I ask that Christians spend time on the NCC web site, it is your right and responsibility to know. If you come to the conclusion that this is an outrage, please voice your opinion. Speak with your Pastors and all Church leaders. Never compromise who we are as followers of Christ, we must stand firm in our morals as we stand with Him.
God Bless
