    Communism Rising: The War Against the Family

    Communism isn't just a political theory—it's a spiritual Trojan horse. In this episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob Rienow takes us inside a biblical critique of socialism and communism, showing how these ideologies stand in direct opposition to God's design for the family, the church, and the Gospel itself. Rob unpacks the deceptive appeal of communism—its promises of fairness, compassion, and equality—and contrasts them with Scripture's commands for work, charity, ownership, and family discipleship. Drawing from history, economics, and biblical truth, this message exposes the anti-family agenda of statism and challenges believers to resist hollow philosophies with the Word of God. What You'll Learn in This Episode: - Why socialism and communism threaten the Christian family - How the Bible calls individuals, families, and churches to fight poverty - The spiritual roots and goals of Marxist ideology - Why forced charity contradicts biblical generosity - How to disciple your children to spot deceptive cultural lies Scriptures Referenced: Colossians 2:8, 2 Thessalonians 3, Ephesians 4:28, 2 Corinthians 9:7, Romans 13 Resources: Partner with Visionary Family Ministries – Help us reach more families with biblical truth.
