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...
John Wesley on Christian Perfection, Part 10
Sections 26-28 conclude John Wesley’s Plain Account of Christian Perfection. Section 26 provides a more simple summary of what Wesley means by Christian perfection. Sections 27 and 28 provide a glimpse into the opposition he faced with respect to preaching Christian...

John Wesley on Christian Perfection, Part 8
Sections 22-24 are superfluous and non-essential, thus, there will be no discussion on these sections. The questions and answers in Section 25 are very worth reading. Wesley is quite deep in some of the questions, so they may need to be read several times. Wesley...
John Wesley on Christian Perfection, Part 7
Now we come to perhaps a critical component of Christian perfection. Wesley offers a concise definition in Section 19, and then he states this question, “Suppose one had attained to this, would you advise him to speak of it?” Wesley discourages claiming that Christian...
John Wesley on Christian Perfection, Part 6
Section 19 is perhaps the most consequential of Wesley’s teaching on Christian perfection. Wesley provides a more concise definition of Christian perfection, which is “(1.) That Christian perfection is that love of God and our neighbour, which implies deliverance from...
John Wesley on Christian Perfection, Part 5
The questions and answers in section 17 are very worth reading and considering. One in particular we should consider is this: Q: In what manner should we preach sanctification? A. Scarce at all to those who are not pressing forward: To those who are, always by way of...
