Is Taxation Theft?

Ugh, taxes. One of the things that the average person can agree with anyone else on is disdain for taxes. Some think we should tax the rich more, others think we should have a flat tax, and some even believe we shouldn't have taxes at all. Is taxation theft?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek look at a story of a disagreement between Paul and Barnabas and look at what we can learn from that and apply to our world today where Christians disagree on all sorts of things, some significant and some not so significant. We hope that this episode encourages you to engage in controversial conversations more equipped biblically.
