Subject:  Sponsorship?

Greetings,

In one of our news items yesterday there was an item about the scholarship from Coca-Cola (see the news clip below). To me this is not a big issue, however it reminds of what happen few years ago when I was a student in Cape Town. One of the churches around Cape Town received a sponsorship from SAB (South African Breweries) to build a Pre-School or Creche. Inside this well built Pre-School there is an Advertisement for SAB. This really shocked me, and since I was not a member there was nothing I could say. 
To me this seemed like double standards or counter-productive, in one hand we are preaching Christ to the little children and on the other we are introducing SAB to them at an early age.
What is the view of members on this issue? Does the Spirit of prophecy say anything about sponsorship from such organisation? Does it matter really matter where the money comes from?
What about grants from the Government?

>Coca-Cola award 
>A student at Southwestern Adventist University will receive a $20,000 scholarship from the Coca-Cola Foundation. One scholarship has >been awarded for every independent college in Texas. Ironically, many Adventists object to Coca-Cola because of its caffine content.

The King is even at the door!

Jeremiah
