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.
Who Woulda Thought?
Please forgive the slang to make some points about the dizzying times in which we live.
Last week I mentioned the reality of constant change–especially from a personal angle. This week I’d like to opine about change in the 21st century and ask you to share your thoughts.
Some amazing things are happening in our lifetime.

The Constant of Change
Change.
Most of us shy away from this word because we don’t like the uncertainty of upsetting the status quo.
I’ve been thinking much about change recently, not out of choice but necessity. By the time September rolls around, I will have spent the past six months involved in five different moves.
Unsettling. Lots of work. Many memories. Even a few tears.
Yet, recently, I’ve enjoyed great peace in my life by admitting the obvious.
Change is a constant of life on this earth.
