Twelve Ways Jesus Changed the World
To most people, Jesus is a historical figure who was the founder of Christianity—but that is as far as it goes. Many have no idea that his most wonderful life had an unsurpassed effect on human history.
In fact, without the birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, life on planet earth would be incomprehensibly different from what it is today.
Let’s do some deeper thinking about the impact of the life of Jesus Christ. Here are twelve ways Jesus changed the world over the past two thousand years.
Happy Thanksgiving: My Visit to Plymouth Rock
This week I spoke at two dinners at a retirement center. My mother is in memory care there.
It was a wonderful opportunity to cheer up the “builder generation” with the legacy of the Pilgrims and the colony they established in Massachusetts some 405 years ago
I reprint today the special visit I took to Plymouth Rock 37 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.
Why Is Communism Raising Its Ugly Head in America–Again?
November 11 is a trifecta date for celebrating courage. It’s Veterans Day in the USA, (honoring vets), Armistice Day (end of WWI), and St. Martin’s Day. Martin of Tours was a 4th century bishop who famously became a “soldier for Christ.”
Thirty-six years ago today I was attending a YWAM leaders conference in Niagara Falls, New York, where we watched the fall of the Iron Curtain. Communism failed in Russia and part of the world was liberated–some nations for the first time.
Past generations understood the horrors of communism–100 million people cruelly killed in the 20th century. Today’s younger generations are largely ignorant.
Communism is raising its ugly head–again–and we must courageously defeat it.
