Complying with the law is a fundamental principle for churches desiring to model integrity.  Why is this? The Bible teaches that when we as believers make every effort to be excellent in our conduct and demonstrate integrity – including compliance with the laws of all governing authorities – it  sends a strong witness and brings glory to God.

The church is increasingly coming under attack concerning freedoms we have enjoyed for many, many years.  As is highlighted in this podcast, this is a day to be highly attentive to these potential incursions against our freedoms.

Demonstrating integrity in handling restricted gifts is the key to enhanced trust with church constituents, which ultimately translates to a greater witness and Kingdom impact!

Dan Busby, ECFA’s President, believes that while the majority of people today would probably disagree with a recent opinion that churches are “nothing more than clubs for believers,” we must do our part to reject these dangerous ideas—not only in our words but, more importantly, in our actions, just as Christ taught us to do.
