"Mr. Marrs, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is exploring whether Living Truth Ministries has violated its 501(c)3 tax exempt status."
Those were the words of the IRS agent conducting an examination of our ministry's "philosophy and viewpoints" which began some nine months ago. The agent said that we may have violated IRS policies by making disparaging remarks about faith groups and cults that oppose Christianity. We may also be subjected to penalties and fines because we have exposed the "Catholic Pope, the United Nations, the Masonic Order, the Skull and Bones Society, the Illuminati," and other organizations deemed worthy by the IRS. The IRS also found objectionable our stand against the sexual immorality and pro-abortion views of President Bill Clinton.
The IRS warned us that Christian churches and ministries that identify "threats to Christianity" may be at risk of violating IRS guidelines. We were even told that if anything we publish does not appear reasonable to the IRS we can be punished.
I have enclosed a list of 35 things the IRS contends are prohibited conduct for tax exempt Christian churches and ministries. Do you agree with me that the IRS and the federal thought police have gone horribly off the deep-end in dictating what Bible-believing preachers and Christians can and cannot preach or discuss? Whatever happened to freedom of religion and freedom of speech?
Please pray with us that the IRS and the enemies of Christ will fail in their blatant attempt to silence the true Church of the Living God and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
