Why Wealth Distribution (Socialism) Does Not Work
Recently, I was speaking with someone who began to say that the ultra wealthy do not pay enough in taxes. The individual then asked me (as a tax professional) for my opinion on this issue. In the last few months, you have no doubt been aware that the amount of income...
Evolution, Communism and Christianity
In this post, we will consider evolution and, in particular, its role in Communism and how it is differentiated from Christ and Christianity. Evolution is purported to be a scientific theory on the origin of the universe and is commonly credited to Charles Darwin....
Only A Strong Church Stands in the Way of Communism
This post is a bit long, but I trust you will find it worth reading. In the United States, both the church’s influence and a Biblical belief in God on the individual level have been declining for quite some time. Many will point to the 1960s as the beginning point,...
Communism vs. Christ: Education
Communism in the United States is nothing new. It was documented in the 1950s when the Un-American Committee of Congress still existed. It was documented in the life of Henry F. Ward in the early days of the ACLU (1920-1940). However, covering a much earlier time...
Gospel of John, Living Water
The scene with the woman at the well is quite remarkable, and the scene provides us with a stopping point to make an important point of distinction. We note the obvious presence of water in John 4:1-29. In verse 10, Christ refers to “living water”. The first post on...
Gospel of John, Christ Must Increase and I Must Decrease
The simple verse of John 3:30 represents baptism through the fire of the Holy Spirit. In Matthew 3:11, John the Baptist foretold baptism by fire: “As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to...
Gospel of John, Christ Became a Curse for Us
Christ’s reference to Moses lifting up the serpent in the wilderness (John 3:14) is a remarkable reference back to Israel’s exodus from Egypt. While still in the wilderness of Sinai, between the crossing of the Red Sea and the crossing of the Jordan River into the...
Gospel of John, New Birth
The dialogue in verses 1 through 21 between Christ and Nicodemus revolves around our receiving a new nature when we believe on Christ. We must be born again, and this rebirth is the process of our receiving a new nature through the Holy Spirit. The flesh does not die,...
Gospel of John, Purity in Worship
In John 2:13-17, it is apparent that this temple cleansing scene is different from the temple cleansing late in Matthew and Mark. Chapter 2 opens with the warning that Christ’s hour had not yet come, but Christ introduces Himself by purging the temple. The temple is a...
Gospel of John: Miracle of Transformation
Only a handful of commentaries note a deeper significance to the miracle at Cana of turning water into wine. In John 2:1-11, we see Christ’s mother press Him into service to refresh the low supplies of wine at a wedding celebration. John describes this as “the...
