  • Does the Bible Teach Socialism or Communism?

    Socialism/Communism is a political system based on the assumption that the world is economically divided into two classes: the owners of production vs. the workers/producers; the aristocracy vs. the proletariat; the rich vs. the poor; the “haves” vs. the “have-nots.” The object of socialism/communism is to use the power of the government to take away wealth from those who have it and redistribute it to those who do not. It is alleged that this ideology will redress extant social injustices fomented by the privilege the “haves” exercise over the “have-nots.” In this way, society’s ills will be cured, and it will usher in a utopian paradise on earth.

  • The Sovereignty of God

    For God to be sovereign means that 1) He is Absolute, 2) He is the Authority, and 3) He is in Ultimate Control. The casual nature of our culture does not alter God’s sovereignty. I wish to impress upon everyone that we must do things simply because God said to do them, and that no further explanation is required.
