Summer of Socialism: Reject the Hype.
For the majority of my adult life, the word “socialism” connoted something akin to the N-word or F-bomb.
Why?
Because socialism is a bad thing, just like the other two.
So why is socialism being revived in the United States in 2018? And what should we think about our “Summer of Socialism?”
Reject the hype.
The Family We’re Fighting
The problem with separating parents from children of illegal immigrants at the border, currently being used to score political points by many, prompted me to think about families.
I will first offer my perspective on the border controversy, then discuss another view of “family” that we desperately need to understand.
Did you know that we are fighting quite a large “family” in the Western World?
Whose family is it?
I Think I Know What a One World Government Looks Like
Like many followers of Jesus, I cherish the Book of Revelation which closes with God’s Kingdom reign coming to earth. Yet, the apocalyptic aspect of John’s prophecy remains difficult to understand so that, by and large, most of us don’t make it a focus of our daily lives.
Yet, Revelation foresees a time when an evil worldwide government forms on earth before Christ’s return (Revelation 13-19). I never thought much about this event until 1) I read the Left Behind series by Dr. Tim LaHaye (a personal friend of mine) and 2) Recently began to “see” a few things that caused me to wonder.
Now, I think I know what a one world government looks like.
