Pilgrims Thankful for 400 Years - Family Economy, Free Market, and God’s Grace

November 26, 2020

Happy Thanksgiving! The Greek word of thanksgiving is literally translated: “The giving of thanks for God’s grace.” We are constantly aware of being graced, we say grace, and we share grace. The Christian life is a three-way grace! We give thanks for 400 years of a tremendous heritage handed down to us by the Plymouth Pilgrims.  Such a strong contrast between the slave-based economies and the family economy espoused by the Pilgrims! They experimented with socialism, and then settled on a free market economy early on. And they were strong on family discipleship. We are the next generation of Pilgrims.

On the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower landing in Plymouth harbor, celebrations are cancelled. Is the nation over? Or is it time to revisit our foundations? The Puritans and Pilgrims were God-centered, covenantal, reformed Christians. God blessed them with a generational faith that penetrated through 4-5 generations, and laid tremendous foundations for a nation. Alas, it is the colleges—Harvard College and other “Christian” colleges—that work hard to destroy the foundations fo the nation.

36 of the American States are mandating face coverings in public and over 100 countries have followed suit.  Here we attempt to deal with all 487 facets to the mask discussion. (That may be a slight exaggeration.) Those who are campaigning for freedom are after a good thing. . .but they should ask a question first. Why are there so many princes around here?

Over 98% of campaign finance contributions from the internet tech industry went to leftist causes in the 2020 elections. The agenda is sewn up — a monolithic, cultural juggernaut. It’s an anti-Christian, pro-homosexual, politically-correct, racially-tense, snowflake-driven, Gramscian totalitarian operation controlling the Tech World today. And, Christian employees had better stay in line with it, or be fired. How does one operate in a negative-culture like this?

Based on past history, empires and big nations don’t last much longer than 250 years. That’s coming up in 6 years, per Cal Thomas. The root cause of national social decay will be the abdication of men. We point out that the 7 nations in the world where man have abdicated in leadership are sinking fast by GDP/capita. Where men are still alive and active, the GDP/capita is still on the rise. What happens after the end? We recommend that families stay on a long term project and disciple their sons over 18-30 years to re-lay the foundations of a new society. Disciple on. Stay on mission.

Evolution can’t explain origins very well, but it certainly, most definitively cannot explain the brain. Whence comes Ideas? What is this moral conscience? What about logic? What about cognitive propositions? Are these things just the product of chemical processes. . . . in a purely material world? Why should I pay attention to Grass Growing in the Back Yard? Kevin Swanson interviews Bradley Sickler, on his new book “God on the Brain.”

We analyze the “second wave” of COVID-19, and then consider the annual mortality impact of COVID-19 compared to the Opioid Crisis and the Spanish Flu. So far, it was only 0.08 years lost on the overall mortality rate relative to non-epidemic mortality. Then, we take a look at the unhealthiest nations in the world, and find there are much bigger fish to fry than COVID-19, overall. But what does God’s Word say about factors contributing to longevity?

The social fallout coming by the rising divorce/marriage rate and illegitimacy rate is only now playing out, and will between 2020 and 2060. But, what about the pastors? Will the pastors be examples to the flock? Or do we see a capitulation on matters like sin, repentance, and the necessity of the fruit of righteousness in the lives of believers? What do these guys teach, and do ideas really have consequences in their lives? Jesus said, “By their fruits you shall know them.” Can we say this of the latest Hillsong debacle?

What’s up with David Stockman and Paul Craig Roberts. . .Reagan’s advisers from the 1980s? . . . Forecasting death camps, international economic bankruptcy, and the end of a 30-year experiment in Keynesian banking.  Will cooler heads prevail? Or is this no time for cool heads? People are wondering whether Christians should flee the nation, or shall we stick around and learn to navigate the cancel culture in the Gramscian revolution? One thing we know for sure. . .God is dealing the cards, and the economic wild card could turn this whole thing on its head.

The Christian Evangelicals supported Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in the election of 1932 by a ratio of 8 to 1, as compared to Roman Catholics. Worst of all was the “Aryan paragraph” at the Evangelical Church’s annual synod meeting in 1933. How might the evangelical church today waffle on abortion, socialism, and Christian persecution today? While the Netherlands Protestant Church is finally apologizing for not taking a stand against the Nazi’s in 1939, we commend Corrie Ten Boom and Diet Eman for defending the Jews and paying the price for it.

The nanny state converges with the police state to produce a not so velvet-gloved totalitarianism. Bradley Pierce, attorney with Heritage Defense talks family freedoms, detention, forced vaccines, contact tracing, and family separation. What are the disincentives to refusing the vaccines? What should you do now to avoid family separation and further loss of liberties?
