America’s First Socialists–and Why They Rejected It
Two celebrations took place recently that couldn’t be more opposite.
Socialism and Thanksgiving.
Many people applauded the election of two socialist mayors in America (New York and Seattle). Others gathered with family and friends to praise God for his blessings.
Socialism feeds on envy. Thanksgiving centers on gratefulness.
Here’s a quick primer on the two and why the Pilgrims rejected socialism.
Happy Thanksgiving: My Visit to Plymouth Rock
This week I spoke at two dinners at a retirement center. My mother is in memory care there.
It was a wonderful opportunity to cheer up the “builder generation” with the legacy of the Pilgrims and the colony they established in Massachusetts some 405 years ago
I reprint today the special visit I took to Plymouth Rock 37 years ago. This Thanksgiving we should thank our brave Pilgrim forefathers for their vision, wisdom and sacrifice that led to the making of the United States.
The Quiet Conquest: Islam’s Advance and the Collapse of a Sleeping Church
I’ve written much over the past few months on the disengaged Church in America.
“Darkness” is growing in the United States because many 21st century pastors/churches are afraid to speak about sin and be salt and light in the culture. They fear people more than God.
When the “light” dims, “darkness” fills the void.
Virgil Walker has written a powerful piece about the sleeping Church–and Islam’s quiet conquest of the West–if we do not wake up.
