501c3 or God approved? It's your choice!

Yes, this appears to be an official seal. And I'm sharing it to inform on the general topic of '501c3'. What is '501c3' and why does it matter? Good questions. First, the '501c3' is a tax-exempt status from the central-bank called the 'Federal Reserve', and their silent bully, the illegal IRS. '501c3' is from the IRS 'tax-code' # 501, sub-section c, subsection 3 = '501c3'. What is it? It is a lure to get a group of religious people to become a business, and then apply for tax-exempt status, which stands so long as they don't say anything out of line, according the US Corporation laws, the business bylaws, and the ever growing additional 'rules and regulations' which are most often sent secretly at least several times a year. 

With that said, not everyone who is a '501c3' corporation is evil and lying about the Bible. The team here personally knows that this is a strangle-hold on many who wish to be Bible teachers. So, this team here (and thankfully a growing group of others just like us) don't want anything to do with being a corporation or this 'tax-exempt' status. But, not everyone has heard the facts on this. They were just not told honestly what it was. Others feel they have no choice (like a family ministry we are in contact with) - the people in power want to silence then and they don't know what to do - these types need prayer for protection and wisdom! And still others inherited a '501c3' corporation from someone previous to them, and they don't know how to undo it, etc. ~ My main point with this note is to inform what a '501c3' corporation is, and to also note that education and prayer are one of our first lines of conversation with those in this type of organization. I think we, as genuine followers of Christ, need to not be quick to condemn all 501c3s, but only those who are corporations *and* have another gospel and another Jesus. We need to expose evil, but be gracious to the people we are talking to, according to their love of the truth, and how seriously they take obedience to God's Word and not silencing any of the whole counsel of the Word of God (not just in word, but also in practice). ~ Watching, Preaching, Praying, SH

Verses to ponder:

"‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. 9 And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’" (Matthew 15:8-9)

"But know this, that in the last days [a]perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, [b]unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was." (2nd Timothy 3:1-9)

Will you be like those who fear men and serve men? Or like those who fear and serve and love God?

"42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God." (John 12:42-43)
