Ruled by God or Ruled by Tyrants

After the Fall of man, freedom both internally and externally, became scarce. The typical state of affairs in mankind’s bloody history was tragically tyranny. It became the natural condition if man was left to follow his own devices. As one studies this line of understanding in history a certain pattern emerges. This pattern was brilliantly comprehended by Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor in 1787. He stated:

The Seven Modern Deadly Sins

Written by Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas on Friday, 12 April 2013. Posted in Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas, Religion, U.S., Opinion

The modern world has been turned upside down by the forces of progressivism and revolution. The virtues of the past are now the vices of the present. A return to Christian teachings can reverse this terrible state.

The Seven Modern Deadly Sins

God’s Word teaches that there are seven things God hates. According to Proverbs 6:16-19:

These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.

The Advantages and Necessity of Providing Healthcare to Your Employees

on Wednesday, 23 January 2013. Posted in Health, U.S.

Future legislation slated for 2014 will make it less a choice and more a necessity to provide coverage.

The Advantages and Necessity of Providing Healthcare to Your Employees

Unless you live in Massachusetts or Hawaii, you are not currently required by law to offer your employees health insurance benefits. In 1974, Hawaii was the first state to pass a law that required employers to provide health insurance to all full-time employees. In 2007, Massachusetts passed a law that employers with more than 10 employees are required to offer pre-tax health plans to employees. In 2010 as part of the development of Obamacare, national legislation was passed to require employers with 50 or more full-time employees to offer health coverage. This requirement will go into effect in 2014. Even if you're not yet required to cover your employees, there are convincing reasons that you'll want to provide insurance for your employees.
