We do well to observe and remember—the most contemporary, held in highest esteem, may well be temporary.

It takes more than tracking polls of popularity and trends with the most followers, to discern what is going to last.

It takes historical perspective to find and keep a rock foundation for life and family and country, to prevent hysterical perspective from following ‘new’ promises of utopia with old consequences of tyranny.

Sadly, devastatingly, accurate historical perspective is seriously out of fashion today—open opportunity for oppression.

What about Truth?

What about Family?

What about Marriage?

What about the Bible?

What about God?

Most of that list is despised in most places now.

But, the Light of Truth will shine brighter even in this present growing darkness, if . . .

. . . if anyone who holds those six foundations holds them high, holds them without compromise, holds them against opposition, holds them “with persecution.”

If you are one of the ‘anyone,’ Mark 10:1-31 gives the rest of the perspective on the title above.

PATRIOT’S PRAYER

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can,

and the WEAPONRY to make the difference.”

RAISED RIGHT

A caller to American Family Radio described his upbringing, with strong values of family and right and wrong.

When he was a teenager, some friends invited him to join them breaking into a house.

He told them “no,” and said to himself:

If I was caught for doing something like that, I would beg the cops to take me to jail—not home!
