501 c3 may have opened the door. But it's gone so far, that renouncing 501 will not stop these laws. Even if a start up church does not do 501 the state will still try to shackle the church
Great Sermon! Mike I enjoy your sermons more than I can tell. They are HONEST AND FROM THE CARING HEART. I can feel the Holy Spirits presents listening to your messages. I enjoy your political correctness ??. Keep up the good faith.
I pray regularly for your ministry and especially for your health.

The US allows the boats to be "captured" and "returned" as part of a scripted attempt to boost Iran's credibility in the West. (Hence John Kerry's fawning all over the Iranians for "returning" the sailors, all the while Iran is threatening our fleet.) As I understand it, the sanctions against Iran are due to be removed in a few days. Wha-lah! This incident (supposedly) gives legitimacy to the Iran Nuclear Deal. Am I becoming paranoid like the voices say I am?
Voices don't cause clear thinking like that. They may make you type non sense rants in LL CAPS though
From the standpoint of a U.S. citizen, this person has to be stopped and removed from office as soon as possible. What it will lead to is being prosecuted if you warn that there is an Islamic terrorist outside with guns and bombs. Besides, anyone that holds such an office aught to be able to pronounce the word "Defendants" correctly. not defrendants.
As a Christian I know we better get ready soon to go to jail for being obedient to the Lord. Most of us could already be on some list.

I have a sister that is a Shotokan Karate instructor. Her husband hit her, but she did not divorce him. After she broke several of his bones (in under 10 sec), he left and divorced her
