In 1 Chart, What's in the Final Tax Reform Bill

12/23/2017

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is the most sweeping update to the U.S. tax code in more than 30 years. The recently released conference report would lower taxes on business and individuals, and unleash higher wages, more jobs, and untold opportunity through a larger and more dynamic economy.

The conference report is a serious effort to reform a complex and badly broken system that provides significant tax relief to the vast majority of taxpaying Americans.

Click here for a look at the chart with the comparison to current tax law and the changes coming in 2018.

Nothing is perfect with all the thousands of pages of IRS tax code, however, the big changes the new tax reform law enacts will make a difference for a majority of tax payers.  Personally, I think a common sense outcome will be a growing economy in many sectors resulting in more jobs and perhaps growing wages.

I just hope average Americans embrace a new attitude toward debt.  It is not going to matter if the economy gets better if millions of Americans continue to sink themselves in unnecessary debt.  Tax relief certainly has the potential to help Americans pay down debt and get in better personal financial shape.

I'm a Pediatrician, Here's What I Did When a little Boy Said He was a Girl

“Congratulations, it’s a boy!” Or, “Congratulations, it’s a girl!”

As a pediatrician for nearly 20 years, that’s how many of my patient relationships began. Our bodies declare our sex.

Biological sex is not assigned. Sex is determined at conception by our DNA and is stamped into every cell of our bodies. Human sexuality is binary. You either have a normal Y chromosome, and develop into a male, or you don’t, and you will develop into a female. There are at least 6,500 genetic differences between men and women. Hormones and surgery cannot change this.
An identity is not biological, it is psychological. It has to do with thinking and feeling. Thoughts and feelings are not biologically hardwired. Our thinking and feeling may be factually right or factually wrong.

The ungodly in this country are throwing common sense to the wind as it relates to gender identity.  I really believe many who promote transgender ideology are doing so out of rebellion against God.  

After all, it is God who created us male and female.  So in an effort to push God out of our society nothing he says in His word can be accepted as normal.  It is a shame that professionals go along with the warped thinking of the ungodly lest they suffer a measure of persecution.  Folks, for the well being of every child we must insist that the biological sex of the child be respected and properly nurtured.

New Animated Film "Early Man" Indoctrinates with Evolution

Answers in Genesis President Ken Ham says this about a new film coming out in just a few months:

It’s obvious from the title of the film--Early Man—that it will be full of evolutionary content and storytelling. The whole idea of mankind transitioning from the primitive Stone Age to the Bronze Age comes from an evolutionary view of mankind. In this belief, man started out primitive and slowly gained intelligence, enabling him to make discoveries and move from hunting and gathering into agriculture and then into cities. But this view of history is in direct opposition to God’s Word!

For the full article click here.

The steady drumbeat from our culture touting evolution and millions of years is unrelenting.  The only way to combat the indoctrination that constantly takes place almost unnoticed is to carefully and diligently teach the Scriptures to the whole family.

If you choose to watch this film (and children by the millions probably will as parents take them to do so) an honest conversation about the lies presented as fact should take place.  Wise adults can use these opportunities to boldly teach the Word of God and correct wrong thinking on the spot.  Do it!!
