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

Study on Ephesians, Part 13
In Ephesians 5:1-21, Paul exhorts us to lay aside the former self which practiced sin and put on the new self which is to practice righteousness. Throughout these verses, notice the subjection to Christ through righteous practices. Sin is self-indulgence, while...
Study on Ephesians, Part 12
Ephesians 4:28 is straightforward and needs little explanation. I do want to reflect on the practical application of this verse in the culture. John Wesley in his sermon titled Use of Money exhorted his hearers to “gain all you can”, “save all you can”, and “give all...
Study on Ephesians, Part 11
