Considering the responses I have received from this WFTW series, I had no idea so many had so little understanding of what Marxism is, and that you would want to learn more. I’m sure many do not really understand capitalism either. It is an encouragement that so many of you want to go deeper in understanding these. I believe this is the work of the Holy Spirit, Who “searches all things, even the depths of God” (see I Corinthians 2:10). Those who are led by the Spirit will not be shallow in their understanding but will always want to...

         The American Founding Fathers believed that tyranny could come from either the government or from the people. Because of this, they built a brilliant system of government that had firewalls to protect against the tyranny from either direction. They warned that if these firewalls were torn down, the Republic could not last. In the last century, we tore both firewalls down, and the system has been crumbling since.

You can trace all advancement of a civilization to the way that civilization embraced kingdom principles.

         The ultimate kingdom principle is love. The ultimate economic principle is love. Would...

        We continue our study of The Great Commission by addressing some of the major strongholds that must be confronted by the gospel of the kingdom. In recent weeks we have been addressing how Marxism is fundamentally in conflict with the coming kingdom, as well as with what has propelled civilization forward. Marxism is a basic regression in virtually every way, and wherever it has been implemented it has brought poverty and death.  

          Marxism basically pits the collective against all forms of individualism. This is contrary to nature because God so loves diversity and uniqueness that He made every...

         Last week we began to address the concept of “American Exceptionalism,” or what made America different from all other nations, at least until recently. In the last few decades, America has been turning from what made it an exception while other nations have begun to embrace what had made America exceptional. This understandably coincides with our decline and their advances.

         The first reason for American Exceptionalism was the foundational honoring of God the Creator that was sown into our government and our culture. The basic image of God in which man was created was the...
