Forgetting the Doctrine of Separation?

Les Lofquist

From Voice, Mar/Apr 2014. Used by permission.

This is a call to purity and balance. It represents that truth of God’s Word which has fallen upon the rocks of neglect in today’s American Church. It represents teaching from the Bible which seems so terribly out of harmony with our American culture. It almost seems pugnacious, no matter how graciously it may be stated.

This is about the doctrine of separation, biblical holiness in life and relationships.

I have watched with growing dismay as so many in the American evangelical church have cheerfully descended into theological illiteracy lacking any sense of doctrinal discernment which is based on the careful study and application of the Scriptures. And the “problem is that even the mildest assertion of Christian truth today sounds like a thunderclap because the well-polished civility of our religious talk has kept us from hearing much of this kind of thing.”1

German-USA Tax Treaty - help....

RoyRussell

I have a client who serves as a short-term missionary in the Black Forest Academy Germany. Before leaving he rolled his 401(k) into his IRA (non-taxable event). Germany insists he pay German taxes on the value of the rollover. They do not recognize “rollovers” as non-taxable. He’s faced with over $15K in German taxes. Does anyone have advice or a contact who can help us?

Thank You.

“Creation Museum founder Ken Ham announced Thursday that a municipal bond offering has raised enough money to begin construction on the Ark Encounter project, estimated to cost about $73 million. Groundbreaking is planned for May and the ark is expected to be finished by the summer of 2016.”
