Every issue is a moral issue

Before the free speech of pastors is threatened any further, they’re getting pro-active.

Some of the pastors preaching Sunday will address the positions of candidates in current state governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia. Others will address the positions of existing government officials or people who have declared themselves for office in future elections.

“Pastors have a right to speak about biblical truths from the pulpit without fear of punishment. No one should be able to use the government to intimidate pastors into giving up their constitutional rights,” ADF Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley told LifeNews.com.

“ADF is not trying to get politics into the pulpit. On the contrary, the whole point is that churches should be allowed to decide for themselves what they want to talk about,” he continued. “The IRS should not be the one making the decision by threatening to revoke a church’s tax-exempt status. We need the government to get out of the pulpit.”…

“These are not political issues,” [Rev. Jody] Hice said. “They are moral issues.”

Actually, they are both.
