Is Home Church Illegal?

Can you go to jail for doing home church? Michael Salman, an Arizona man, has been sentenced to two months in jail and $12,000 in fines for doing what the disciples did—hosting a church meeting in his home. The authorities claim that this is not religious persecution but public safety. If only he was doing something safe—like hosting a poker game—he wouldn't have gotten in trouble. Dave Buehner and Steve Vaughn, filling in for Kevin Swanson, discuss the “regulation principle of worship”—that is, given the chance, the state will always regulate.
