No, that is not a typo in the title. In a sad and stomach-turning move, Chic-fail-A has announced that due to pressure from LGTBQ protests, they will no longer donate to Bible believing charities, such as The Salvation Army. I guess you could say that they have chickened-out.
What did the Salvation Army do wrong? They believe the Bible! The Holy Bible is clear, and the United States Constitution is clear. Same-sex “marriage” is sin, and Christians have the right to express our faith.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Chic-fil-A simply caved. “There’s no question we know that, as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are,…There are lots of articles and newscasts about Chick-fil-A, and we thought we needed to be clear about our message,” Tim Tassopoulos, president and COO of Chick-fil-A, said in a statement.

I’m afraid it’s becoming VERY clear! You punish Bible believing charities, to pander and cower to the Romans 1 mob. So, why do Christians sell out in an attempt to win-over those who hate God? Could it beeee….SATAN? Yes, because the true root is the love of money.
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Do they believe that the LGBTQ mob will suddenly give them a whirl? Even if they did, this would not make it right! Are they abandoning Godly principles and commands so that they can “expand their corporate footprint” in the global market? Well, Christians, their main customer base, don’t respect that! Either way you look at it, Bible or Business, this decision seems completely void of wisdom. They shall reap what they sow.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
How’s this: “We need to be clear about who we are, we don’t give to Bible believing ministries, because they are too Bible believing. We need to be clear about who we are, we don’t stand up for traditional marriage any longer, because we covet money.” That hurts to read, doesn’t it? Does that describe who WE are, as Bible believers? When Jesus Christ comes back, will he poll a focus group, and release a lame PR statement?
“When the Bible was written, I had it all wrong. I’m so different now, weak, and meaningless, I am. Please like me, and give me money! I will ignore your sin, even though I died on the cross because of them, and sell you fish sandwiches and waffle fries by the sea.”
The new and imp-proved Chic-fil-A “Jesus”
Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
What will the mob demand next?
Perhaps Chic-fil-A will now be challenged in court, and forced to cater for same-sex Sodomite or Trans “marriage” events – because when we back down to these bullies, they are emboldened. These rabid groups of deranged activists do not want to “get along” for the sake of the community. The leftist mob wants to destroy companies like Chic-fil-A. They also want to push their reprobate agenda on our children!
Perhaps Chic-fil-A will be the new spot to host some Drag-Queer Story Hours? And that brings me to an interesting observation. Chic-fil-A serves Coca Cola products. Coca Cola owns Sprite. Yes, Chic-fil-A serves Sprite!
Does anyone remember the very recent uproar caused by the newest SPRITE Ad campaign? I do. It had nothing to do with beverages. It was a “congratulating the brave trans people” Ad campaign. If you have not already lost your appetite, watch it here. Yes, COKE is still on the front lines in the war against God, and His creation. The timing is so synced, I can’t help but wonder; did COKE also put pressure on Chic-fil-A?
No matter how one looks at this, it seems that Chic-fil-A has a new corporate master, and sadly it is not Jesus Christ. Chic-fil-A was a winner for standing up to the LGTBQ bullies. Christians support Godly companies! Now, we may begin to look upon them as losers, who fear the ever progressive winds of “Politically Correctness” more than they fear THE LORD. I truly believe the founder, S. Truett Cathy, and his family would be ashamed and saddened by this pandering and sinful decision.
A slap in the face of their founder
Mr. S. Truett Cathy was a man who wanted God to be honored above profits. He didn’t want filthy lucre! He wanted to honor God and His word.
“Our decision to close on Sunday was our way of honoring God and of directing our attention to things that mattered more than our business.”
S. Truett Cathy, Founder of Chic-fil-A
Not giving to the Salvation Army may or may not be a sin, based on the reason for making the decision. We have liberty in Christ. But in this case, we all understand that the reason had nothing to do with the Bible. It was a business choice based on Public Relations with less than 10% of the population, strictly because the Salvation Army supports traditional marriage between one man and one woman. SO, in short, Chic-fail-A is punishing a Christian charity because of their Bible based beliefs!
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
In my opinion, this decision was weak and ungodly, and it sets a terrible example for Christians business owners (and individuals) everywhere. We all supported Chic-fil-A because they lovingly stood for the truth. I know I, for one, will feel much less hungry when I see the Chic-fil-A sign. Something about lukewarm food just does not set well with my stomach. Follow your conscience, Christians.
Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Amen. So true and very sad.
Having been employed at my local Chick-fil-a from 2012 – 2017, I personally noticed the slow fade within the company.
At one point, some of my directors,
while myself being a “manager” of hospitality, tried to force/coerce me into wearing the disney mouse ears on my head during a specific time frame one month… I held my ground, and politely declined to do so, and they eventually gave up.
Disney as a corporation is pro “gay rights,” and by rights I mean how they shove it in everyone’s face and force others to bow and cower to the altar of LGBTQ-Pedo ism. I noticed CFA as a corporation was headed down the same path, because they love money.
I personally served and took care of all my guests as a 2nd-mile service manager while showing no partiality to anyone whether gay, or not. Even muslims, mormons & jehovah’s witnesses received the same love of Christ through me, as the guests who I could tell(by their fruit) were genuine believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The love of money is truly the root of all evil, and it is sad to say… that CFA has been given over to the antichrist spirit because they are ashamed of Jesus Christ, and now they are denying Him clearly evident in their “progressive” business practices.
We will each give an account of how we chose to live our lives, to God.
If we are ashamed of what His Word says about sin(no matter what kind…),
then Jesus Christ Himself will be ashamed of us, at His glorious return.
