Christian Pastors Just Did Something Amazing To Blatantly Defy Obama [VIDEO] A group of nearly 1,500 Christian pastors made a bold statement when they took a stand against the Obama Administration by preaching politically-charged sermons in honor of Pulpit Freedom Sunday. The act was in response to the news of a secret agreement between the IRS and the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), which ultimately led to the targeting of Christian churches. The pastors participating in Pulpit Freedom Sunday were risking their tax exempt status by doing so. They were backed by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), who has offered to support any church targeted by the IRS. The message weve been telling pastors for years now in regard to Pulpit Freedom Sunday is, Weve got you back, ADF senior legal counsel Erik Stanley told reporters at the Christian Post. Pastor, stand, preach from your pulpit what God lays on your heart to tell your people and you have the free exercise the free speech right thats enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution to do that. It is ridiculous to think that the IRS is attempting to prevent a church from speaking out on political issues. It is to silence some important discussions when it comes to faith in the real world. Tell us what you think.
