Ethics

It was recently reported that a very prominent billionaire paid only $750 in federal taxes in 2016 and 2017. Is it right for Christians to try to reduce their tax burden to a bare minimum?

Race is a product of racism.

When faced with important decisions, it’s good practice to think of all the relevant factors involved and then decide if there are any non-negotiable factors.

Governments in the U.S. and Canada are offering grants and financial support for businesses and charities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. How should churches respond?

There seem to be only three persons absolutely necessary to make a marriage a Christian marriage: the man, the woman, and God.

The Bible says God hates “lying lips,” but there are also stories, such as Rahab helping the Israelite spies, where lying seems to be a good thing. So is lying sometimes okay?

“Righteousness” is another word for “justice,” which can be understood to mean something like “treating each person, thing, or situation rightly or correctly.”

Many activities that were once forbidden by the church (card playing, dancing, and movie attendance) are now considered fine. But the Bible does not change. Are these changes biblical?

According to one polyamory website, a polyamorous relationship is “a romantic relationship where the people in the relationship agree that it’s okay for everyone to be open to or have other romantic partners.”

We need to discern between right and wrong, good and evil. That is not optional. Neither is holding people accountable for their actions.

I strongly counsel churches to first consult law enforcement for expert advice and training before making any such decisions.
