In a stunning display of the Love of Money, COGIC, Inc. has placed a lien against a local church; Greater First Church of God in Christ located in Knoxville, Tennessee. One might think how much money could a local church owe the National for them to place a lien against them? The answer is none; the local church went through the transfer process (which is why transfers were stopped by the General Board a violation) because they believe there is money to be gobbled up.
There is now a new weapon in the leaderships insatiable appetite for money place a lien on the property and extort money form the local congregation. This is done under the “Trust Clause”. Another example of the need for the General Assembly to amend a clause which is noting more than a license to steal.
