The New Left: Rebels Without A Cause?
- Details
- By Joseph M Bianchi - Greenville, SC
It has been fifty years since the tumultuous “Summer of ’68” and the now immortal chant by protesters at the Democratic National Convention of, “The whole world is watching!”
Fifty years; a half century. The wave of protests against the Vietnam War had come to a great crescendo. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were cut down by assassins’ bullets. American society was in turmoil both on the streets and the college campuses—and Woodstock was still a year away!
Happy Holidays? How do we get There?
- Details
- By Alveda King
As the holidays are upon us, let us be mindful that these next few weeks are beautiful opportunities to express love, grace, encouragement and peace towards others. There are some people, and in some cases someone we know, or even we ourselves are in dire need of a prayer or two this holiday season. Some have lost loved ones and some have lost much to tragedies. Yet there are reasons and opportunities to spread love to others right now. A notion such as this may seem difficult, especially with the brutal mid-terms behind us, and some political runoff elections ahead of us; but let's just try to be civil to one another.
A Modest Dissent

- By Hugh McInnish - Huntsville, AL
At Trump's recent press conference held at the White House, there was a dust-up between Jim Acosta, a correspondent for CNN, and a young White House female intern. The intern came to Acosta and asked him to give her the microphone so that she could pass it to the next person Trump called on. He refused, and there was a mild tussle for the microphone. The tussle ended when Trump insisted that the correspondent surrender the microphone. Trump made a forceful expression of his displeasure with Acosta's behavior, and he promptly revoked his "hard pass," the document that permits his entry to the White House.
Hath the Devil Been Raised in Salem?

Salem Village 1692
In March 1692, Rev. Samuel Parris wrote in the Salem Village church record book that “The Devil hath been raised amongst us, & his Rage is vehement and terrible, & when he shall be silenced the Lord only knows.” The strange events and widespread witch hysteria that first occurred in the Rev. Parris’s own Salem Village home had spread to Salem Town, Andover (now North Andover), Beverly, Topsfield, and many other towns by the fall of 1692. Over 150 people were arrested, examined, and sent to prison. Of these, fourteen women and five men were hanged in Salem Town for the felony of witchcraft. One man, Giles Corey, was crushed to death under heavy stones for refusing to enter a plea. Another five died of insufferable conditions in prison awaiting trial and sentencing.
Thanksgiving Thoughts for Our Time: A.D. 2018

“…Pilgrim history (is) a story which has no end. It will end only if people suffer a failure of nerve in the quest for basic human rights. It can honestly be said that ALL who cherish freedom are Pilgrim descendants.” (PILGRIMS THEN AND NOW, by Rev. Gary Marks, Plymouth, Mass.) (1990)
I’ve stood several times on the top of Cole’s Hill, overlooking the historic harbor at Plymouth, Mass. Below this ancient but now “manicured” hill lies the rock, Plymouth Rock, underneath a beautiful marble canopy. Out in the harbor is the spot where, in the miserable late Fall of November, 1620, about 102 stalwart people, plus crew, arrived in a decrepit 180 ton converted freighter named Mayflower. Cole’s Hill, at that time, was a craggy bluff overlooking a small rocky beach just big enough for a landing party in a small “shallop”.
CBS’s Major Garrett Tells CBN’s Faith Nation: There Should Be Limits on Decorum By Reporters At The White House
- Details
- By David Brody
On CBN’s Faith Nation Friday, CBS White House Correspondent Major Garrett weighed in on the fight between CNN and the Trump Administration over the confiscation of reporter Jim Acosta’s White House press pass and the subsequent decision by a judge that, temporarily at least, ruled in CNN’s favor.
Don’t Give Me That Old Time Religion
- Details
- By Ben Graydon
Many love the song: Give me that Old Time Religion: it was good for our fathers, and it’s good enough for me!
May I suggest that “good enough” is not really good enough? And, further, when the song says, “It will take us all to heaven,” that’s a flat-out lie. No religion will ever take anyone to heaven; only one’s redemption through the shed blood of Jesus Christ will do that.
