Just this week, it was announced that Chick-Fil-A would no longer support certain charities. Read one article about this here. This particular article (as many others) indicates they dropped their support of these charities in response to pressure from the LBGTQ community. That reason may or may not be true. I don't know since I was not in the room when the decision was made.
However, I have found a good number of professing Christians publicly say "Bye-Bye" to Chick-Fil-A on social media and threaten boycott.
So, basically these professing Christians are doing exactly what the LBGTQ community did. They are telling Chick-Fil-A that unless they continue to contribute to charities they approve of, they will no longer be a customer. This is wrong, unbiblical and utterly foolish. If these people are going to condemn the tactics and actions of the LBGTQ community, why would they turn around and use the same tactics?
Liberty is something many people have a hard time understanding. In the US, we have liberty. Our right to liberty is in our constitution, embedded in our country's DNA. This liberty means Chick-Fil-A can operate in any way they see fit. It's unbecoming to Christianity to boycott Chick-Fil-A over a decision they made. It's inconsistent with Christianity to do this.
I will not boycott Chick-Fil-A.
If Christians want to boycott an organization that supports every liberal cause, including abortion, they should boycott AARP. So many Christians have joined (and promote) AARP, yet boycott places like Chick-Fil-A over one decision (a decision no one really knows the inside story about) that it's very confusing.
Christians, stop adopting the tactics of a liberal organization and use the Bible as your guide, instead.
Take a step back and realize Chick-Fil-A is free to make any decision they want and we as Christians should be the first to recognize - and rejoice in - their liberty to do so.
Now I'm getting hungry.....I think I'll go grab some of Chick-Fil-A's Chicken Tortilla Soup! That stuff is SO good!
