Many Americans advocate some form of socialism, allowing the government to regulate greater areas of everyday life. Does the Bible support this idea?

The apostles never required converts to give up property as a precondition for church membership. Rather, the members voluntarily gave, retaining ownership.

God's Word encourages a strong work ethic, something socialism tends to discourage. Work produces profit, from which a person can generously give to others.

We are commissioned to be generous in good works, whether it consists of money, time, or talent. Conduct now lays up treasure for the future.

When we examine two important connotations of the word 'fellowship,' we see that the meaning radiates far beyond the activity of talking with one another.

We also need to return to our first love and diligently do the first works, including fellowship, continuing in the doctrine, and doing things properly.

Peter, using the details of fulfilled prophecy, establishes the Messiahship of Jesus Christ and convicts the crowd of their culpability in His death.

The early church had confidence in God's sovereignty, realizing that no human authority could thwart God's power. This conviction gave them strength.

The Bible shows that economic disparity is a given. Scripture teaches that we should voluntarily help the poor rather than be coerced by the government.

Satan works on us through our imagination; he broadcasts images to our minds. To counter this, we must resist him, practice humility and draw close to God.

At Babel, the people were of one mind but in total rebellion to God. The events at Babel and the events at Pentecost differentiate God's way and man's way.
