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...
Meekness Continued
Paul provides another expression of meekness in 2 Corinthians 2:1-11. The context here is a transgression of some kind which was disciplined by the church. The object of this set of verses is repentance coupled with forgiveness. Where an individual has committed a...
What is Meekness?
There is an interesting verse at 1 Corinthians 6:7, “Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?” The concept is straightforward. It is based on two instructions from...

That Jesus did not die for everyone is a statement I recently heard in a Calvinist/Reformed church, and it is apparently making its rounds in similar churches. Let me suggest from the beginning that this is an extremely problematic statement which is made out of...
Study of 1 John, Part 12
This is the final post in the series on 1 John. Much of chapter 5 has been covered in previous posts. We will just focus on 1 John 5:16-17 in this post. However, the words in these two verses can be confusing, so we will attempt to uncover what John is writing to us....
Study of 1 John, Part 11
1 John 4:7-21 is all about love – the love God has for the world in sending Christ to be the propitiation for sin and the love we can have for God through Christ. We have previously dealt quite a bit with love in 1 John, so the focus of this post will be 1 John 4:18,...
Study of 1 John, Part 10
