Socialism, Part 2: Why Big Government is Idolatry

Jan 31, 2011 by Lorne Blackman

This is the second installment of a three-part series on Socialism, Big Government and Unbelief. See Part 1 here. God’s Intended Condition for Man The great political debate between the proponents of more vs. less government usually overlooks the Bible’s clear teaching that liberty is not only inherently desirable, it is God’s intended condition for the government of His creation.

Jan 6, 2011 by Daniel Eby

By God’s Son all things were created which are in heaven, and which are in earth—things visible and invisible: whether they be Thrones, or Dominions, or Principalities, or Powers, all things were created by Him (Colossians 1.16). Here in this final installment of a three-part introduction to Ancient History, written in 1731, Charles Rollins uncovers the glorious purpose of God’s Son as Mediator and Ruler of the Nations and the path through all of history that God used to prepare us for the rule of His Son. The Necessity of a Messiah Besides the visible and sensible connexion of sacred and profane history, there is another more...
