Daily Verse | 1 Corinthians 5:12-13
What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside.
Thursday’s Reading: 1 Corinthians 9-11
It’s the fourth Thursday of November and the 400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving in 1621. I hope you are able to spend some time reflecting on the meaning of this day (see yesterday’s post) and draw a straight line from the brave men and women who sailed to the New World, endured hardship that we can’t imagine in our 21st century, and paved the way for “a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.“
Given the anti-American gyrations of the cultural Marxists who intend to destroy our history based on warped leftist moral judgments like the discredited (yet still influential) 1619 Project, the expungement of Founding statesmen like Thomas Jefferson, and the twisted attacks on Thanksgiving, it is more important than ever that patriotic Americans find their voices and model a healthy reverence for our history to their children, extended family and neighbors.
Consistently countering lies with the truth over a sustained period of time in your local context is one of the most effective ways of protecting our culture and values.
That means you need to know our country’s history, which means you may need to take some time to learn our country’s history yourself. May you be motivated to do it.
I wish you and yours a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
