Social Justice and Biblical Christianity

Social justice is the watchword of the left. It is used to imply the disparity between the haves and the have nots. Success, which is usually defined as power, is vilified as oppressive. This is supported by the ludicrous notion that success must always be achieved off the backs of the poor. There is no

Faith in a faithless world

Two years after the Covid debacle it is time to reflect on the state of the Church. Many states, during 2020, ordered Christian believers to stop worshipping in the House of God.

Every magazine ad, TV commercial, as well as movies and entertainment, extol the accumulation of material things. The message tells us that the more we possess, the happier we will become. After all,

Guilt and hiding from the truth

A conscience free from guilt is a rarity in this age of deception and selfishness. A duplicitous person does not know the comfort of a conscience free from self-condemnation.
