QUESTION: There is in Nashville an African Christian Schools Foundation
and in Searcy, Arkansas, an African Christian Hospital. These two groups
regulate the money sent by American brethren to support people in Africa.
Is it right to support these organizations?
ANSWER: If the work being done by these two groups is secular, i.e., it is not
work for which the church is scripturally responsible, then support would be a
matter of option and would not be improper.
However, if these two organizations were engaged in doing work for which the
church is responsible, then support of their work would be sinful. In fact, such
organizations would be sinful. No organization can assume the work of the
church, in place of the church, without sinning! Any organization, other than the
Lord’s church, that presumes to assume the responsibilities of the church, as
given to it by God, sins and scripturally forfeits it’s right to exist!
