Reformation
Transformers
The incoming Trump administration is committed to transforming the federal government which could affect all American society.
Our young kids loved “transformer” toys because they could be manipulated into various shapes. So can whole societies, but that’s a much bigger job.
2025 will be an exciting year in American history when a political tidal wave could transform the USA. Great change doesn’t emerge in a vacuum. It often comes bottom up (a people revolution) and other times, top down (new leadership). Sometimes it is both, simultaneously.
Transformation is the third prong of revival–and the transformers are coming.
One Area The USA Shouldn’t Be Exceptional
As a student and teacher of United States history, I’m thrilled at how God took a “hidden continent” (The New World) three hundred years ago and created a nation/civilization never seen before in history. We call that miracle “American Exceptionalism.”
Our biblical faith, melting pot unity, political institutions, social fraternities, political freedoms, and unparalleled blessings have made the United States of America a model for other nations to follow.
But recently something has happened to our populace and civics that is very concerning.
Here’s one area of U.S. culture that shouldn’t be exceptional.
Happy Thanksgiving–Remembering Plymouth Rock & the Pilgrims
I wrote about the Pilgrims recently while disagreeing with Bill O’Reilly about their faith. By all accounts from numerous original sources, those who landed in Plymouth in November of 1620 were some of the finest “Americans” these shores have ever welcomed.
I reprint today a very special visit I took to Plymouth Rock thirty-five 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.
