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?

So why is socialism being revived in the United States in 2018? And what should we think about our “Summer of Socialism?”

Why I’m a Liberal
It’s amazing how words change over time. A good example is the word “liberal” which many of my readers will view with caution, concern or disdain.
Most of my life I’ve considered myself a conservative, meaning that I’m committed to conserving or renewing biblical truths in my own life and nation. Why? Because God’s truth brings true freedom.
“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’” (John 8:31,32).
“Free” is the root meaning of the word “liberal.”
That’s why I’m a liberal. Here’s what I mean.

Some amazing things are happening in our lifetime.
