Jesus: The Anti-Socialist

everfaith

My last few posts have revolved around the way Barak Obama is knee-deep in socialistic thought. A commenter took offense at my opposition to socialism and wrote: The basic underlying belief of christianity is that we must treat all with equality, as we are all equal in God’s eyes. Capitalism is the house of the devil. It allows for a few to walk on the backs of the many, something that Jesus was opposed to. So your argument against socialism is contradictory to your christian beliefs. I chose not to allow that comment on that post because I felt it … Continue reading Jesus: The Anti-Socialist

Different Mouthpiece, Same Message

everfaith

Imagine a world where the work of one person is valued exactly the same as the work of another person. A medical technology scientist investigating the effects of drug interactions is valued by society no more and no less than the fisherman who risks his life out on the boat. The teacher and the doctor are so equally important that no distinction is made in their names or their titles. The firefighter, the plumber, and the atomic scientist are on the same footing socially and economically. A young child who shows aptitude for mathematical reasoning is quickly moved into a … Continue reading Different Mouthpiece, Same Message

Obama told a plumber that yes, he would probably raise his taxes. “It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too,” Obama responded. “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”  (see the whole article here). Obama’s attitude is taken straight from the textbooks under the title “Socialism.”  The American Heritage Dictionary defines socialism as: … Continue reading Just Hand Over Your Pie And Nobody Gets Hurt

God of This City

everfaith

Today in church we revisited the hard-hitting book of James. Our pastor called us out — in a nation where 82% of the people profess to be Christians, how much of that profession is true? True faith occurs when we start acting like we believe what we say we believe. We are God’s workmanship — we are the pottery he created — and he has a special purpose for each one of us. If we keep on living the way we were living before we were saved — if there is no discernible change in the way we behave Monday … Continue reading God of This City

Why Is This Not Blazing News?

everfaith

UPDATE: The problem of Mexican cartels using OUR national parks to grow their drugs is more profound than I thought.  After posting this blog, I saw that FoxNews had this story on the problem — and on how these cartels are re-routing water from our streams, dumping illegal pesticides in our streams, and polluting OUR lands.  ACK!! Today’s Dallas Morning News had a two paragraph brief about an incident well within the United States borders…up in Nevada, to be exact…that has my blood alternately boiling and chilling. Tuesday afternoon, scientists with the Bureau of Land Management were conducting a stream … Continue reading Why Is This Not Blazing News?
