The question of knowing God's will for one's life is a complex one, with the Bible speaking about God's will in more than one way. The revealed will of God, or Deus Revelatus, refers to that which God has revealed, while the hidden will of God, or Deus Absconditus, refers to the things that God has not chosen to unveil. Christians must focus on the preceptive will of God, or the commands of God, to discern His will for their lives. [... more]

The concept of socialism is being increasingly romanticized in America, but its underlying principles are fundamentally incompatible with biblical teaching. The idea of egalitarianism, which seeks to equalize income and standard of living, is being shoehorned into the American mindset, but it ignores the reality of human nature and the importance of private property. The Bible teaches that work is a blessing and a responsibility, and that individuals should be free to pursue their own goals and ambitions without government control. In contrast, socialism seeks to control every aspect of life, including the economy, and to redistribute wealth through compulsory taxation. This approach has been tried before, with disastrous results, and it is essential that Americans understand the dangers of socialism and the importance of preserving our freedom and private property rights.
