Fight of the Century: Government Socialism VS 'Christian' Capitalism

Over the last thirty years, under the guise of 'church growth', American christendom has created a network of empires; while much can be debated about their effectiveness, said empires have ignited some accepted social changes, such as home-schooling and various other Constitutional rights. However, the majority of the 'good deeds' are mostly rhetoric to gain revenue, which has caught the attention of an anti-Christ, socialistic government, which is hell-bent on destroying every moral fiber in God-given commands.

H.R. Bill 4682 & S.1 are two bills being currently considered in Congress that would change existing law to include churches, pastors, non-profits organizations, etc. into the definition of 'lobbyists' by creating a new category to fit them into called 'grassroots lobbyists'; such classification would result in government demands that each non-profit organization and church that attempts to influence public opinion in any way register with Congress, and give detailed initial and quarterly disclosures of their activities.

Frankly, The Church, our Brethren, are going to have to make up their minds: do they want to continue to live lavish lives of excess or take up their crosses and follow Christ. We will have to determine whether is it appropriate to hold a non-profit and continue to build our 'kingdoms' here on earth, or, will we invest instead in The Kingdom of God, which lasts for all Eternity. The bottom line here is that the general 'Christian' community, our Brethren, have disobeyed the commandment to have no other gods before Him, as well as the follow-up "Thou shalt not covet". If American christendom continues in its idolatry and covetousness, God will allow snares and captivity to fall upon us (as is already occurring) to the inevitable persecution of the saints.
