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, Resurrection a Proof of the Messiah
The second part of John 6 is resurrection unto eternal life. Christ’s teaching on manna spiritualizes the miracle in Exodus. At first glance, it may appear as if Christ is either recreating the miracle of the manna or implying that He was present in the manna in the...
Gospel of John, Signs and Manna
There are two elements to chapter 6 which are related but deserve separate attention. One element revolves around signs, and the other element revolves around the manna. The request for a sign in John 6:30 is quite interesting. To this point, we are told that the...
Gospel of John, There Must Be Evidence
As we read through John 5:19-47, let the words of John 3:30 echo in the background, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” In what ways does Christ expose the shortcomings of the Jews? Do we deserve a similar indictment by Christ? We would prefer that Christ’s...
Gospel of John, Holiness of Heart Over Ritual Obedience
Our new nature and living unto spiritual purity are again evident as we turn to chapter 5. “Do you wish to get well?” In John 5:1-16, this question is one Christ asks of us as well. This question was not asking if the man wanted to be well physically. The question is...
Gospel of John, Sincere Love for Christ Demands Holiness
Verse 48 is the climax of John chapter 4, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe.” Did Jesus perform signs and miracles in Samaria? The nameless woman at the well (John 4:4-29) said to Jesus in verse 25, “I know that Messiah is coming...
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...
