Have the Preachers Really Stopped the IRS in Its Tracks?

“See what has the IRS stopped in its tracks” was the headline article by Bob Unruh in the September 23 issue of World Net Daily that tells of over one hundred pastors who plan to defy the so-called “Johnson Law” this year. They have designated Sunday, September 26, as “Pulpit Freedom” Sunday and plan to preach “political sermons” and mail the CDs, DVDs, or transcripts of those sermons to the non-profit division of the Internal Revenue Service in Washington, D.C., in order to bait them into a lawsuit to challenge the present law that forbids pastors from participating in partisan politics from their pulpits or in official church publications. The Alliance Defense Fund, based in Phoenix, AZ, is licking their chops to sue the IRS on behalf of the church or churches that have their tax-exemption revoked, so the law can be over turned and the pulpits of America can be free again after these fifty-six years.

This is the third year that this project has been tried, with more pastors apparently taking courage. It started with around 36; last year, there were 8; now, according to WND, it’s up to over 100.

IRS ATTACKS PASTOR FOR ENDORSING HUCKABEE

In an article in the July-September Trumpet Newsletter that I wrote entitled Caesar Calls in the Chips which follows this brief introduction I deal with the IRS attack on Pastors and churches that dare speak out on moral and social issues including the endorsing of candidates for political office.  Obviously the “Pulpit” police who are the modern day Pharisaical ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State are out in full force seeking “whom they may devour.”  One of the first fish they caught this election year was the out spoken and internationally known Wiley Drake, Pastor of the First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, CA and former 2nd Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention.

According to the February 12 World Net Daily Dr. Drake endorsed Mike Huckabee for President. The complaint in the IRS February 5th letter of inquiry said, “Our concerns are based on information we received concerning an Aug. 11, 2007, press release issued on the letterhead of First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, California. The information we received provides … Pastor Wiley Drake endorsed Republican presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee, for the 2008 presidentialelection.” The IRS said it also “received” information that Drake also had supported Huckabee on Drake’s radio program.” Read the rest of this entry »

Special Message from Pastor Greg A. Dixon:

Dear Friends, Attached is the Jan-March – 2011 Trumpet (see below also) that is the 10th Anniversary issue of the 93 day siege and raid on the sanctuary of the Indianapolis Baptist Temple on Feb. 13, 2001.  As Providence would have it, the 13th actually comes on Sunday.  The congregation is planning a special service that morning at 10:30 am.  They would like to extend to anyone that stood with us a special invitation to be in the service on this special occasion if it is at all possible.  Lodging and food will be provided for the Saturday night before, and Sunday noon for anyone, and their immediate family, who stood with us during the siege, that can come and be with us on this momentous occasion.

We are happy to announce that my parents, Dr. and Mrs. Dixon, will be able to be with us in this special service.

There will be a special gift of a DVD of 175 pictures for everyone present and we will also be honoring all those who stood with us. There will be special recognition to those who were present when the actual raid took place.

In these times, there is gloom and doom in almost every article that comes from the pen of conservatives, religionists, political pundits of all stripes including Dem’s, GOP’s and all the rest of the political parties. Then throw in the global warming crowd and their fellow tree hugging snail darting bunch along with all of the other isms, asms and spasms. Frankly, who even wants to get out of bed in the morning? You’ve got an Egg McMuffin ulcer before you leave McDonald’s now, because they even have TeeVee’s in the dining area. And yet, in the midst of all of this defeatism, a small church in Indianapolis with less than thirty members took on the largest city in the State of Indiana with a population of one million, and with the help of the Phoenix based Alliance Defense Fund whupped up on the home of the 500 Mile Race big time. In Biblical language, what they did comes right from those powerful words found in the great hall of faith chapter of Hebrews where it says, “and by faith they subdued kingdoms.”

Yes Virginia, there is an IRS State Church

By Dr. Greg Dixon

Because Christmas comes every year, sooner or later most will hear the phrase made famous by Francis P. Church, Editor of the NY Sun in 1897, “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”   I’m sure the eight year old Virginia O’Hanlon who had written Church and told him that she would believe in Santa if she could read it in the pages of the Sun found out at some point that Santa was a myth, but most of the preachers and church folks in America still haven’t figured out that, its not a myth, there is an IRS State Church in America even though the IRS has spelled it out loud and clear in two publications – 1828 tax Guide for Churches and Religious Organizations and IRS Publication 557.   Publication 1828 has become the veritable Bible that accountants, lawyers, courts and tax preparers use on a daily basis.  Its language is very bold and clear.

“The Internal Revenue Code: Section 501(c)(3) describes charitable organizations, INCLUDING CHURCHES and religious organizations, WHICH QUALIFY for exemption from federal income tax and generally are eligible to receive tax deductible contributions.” (Emphasis mine)

Sins of the Preachers of America

Having been led by the Holy Spirit to seek the Lord in a special week of prayer and fasting, a group of pastors and others met in Covington, Georgia, April 2-6, 1984, to seek the Lord for His blessings upon our lives, our ministries, and our nation in this day of great moral and spiritual crisis. Having been convicted of our sins by the Holy Spirit., we do now humbly acknowledge and confess and repent of the following sins. While each of these does not necessarily represent the sins of each preacher in attendance, nor is each sin necessarily the sin of each preacher in America, we humbly believe that these are sins that represent the great body of preachers in America.

WE FURTHER BELIEVE that these are the sins that have brought the churches of America to a desert of spiritual famine and our nation to the very brink of disaster and destruction.
