In fact, the State of Virginia and West Virginia had laws on the books up until the 1980s that prevented any church from incorporating. We can thank Jerry Falwell for tearing down those statutes. Apparently, Falwell was a 'useful' idiot in this regard.
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
It's safe to say Falwell chose mammon.
Mammon
MAM'MON,
noun
Riches; wealth; or the god of riches.
