The Ugly Business Of Politics And The Trinitarian Hope of Romans 1:1-6

As I write, the presidential campaign season is in full swing. While my fellow Americans decide who will take over the Executive Branch, one thing we all know for certain: politics is an ugly business. Politics is a proud industry. It’s pure egotism.

Financial Investment, Gambling, and Sin Nature

Our Lord gives us this teaching about the reckless acquisition of wealth in Matthew 6:19–21.
