What does “Small d democracy?” look like?

everfaith

I had a feeling the story about Obama’s ties to the Chicago New Party which was formed by Democrat Socialists for America and leaders of the Communist Party USA would break in the mainstream media. Today this article appeared as a link on the FoxNews website. It also mentioned a quote from Obama that made me scratch my head in confusion. There is much America does not know about Obama. Take a look at this statement he made after he and two other New Party members were victorious in 1996: these victories prove that small ‘d’ democracy can work.” I … Continue reading What does “Small d democracy?” look like?

Ask The Father Directly

everfaith

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.” -Jesus, in John 14 Didn’t I say it was so? A cold front blew through yesterday. In a matter of minutes, the temperature went from a balmy 79 degrees to a very cool 52 degrees. This front was all bluster and not much brawn…very little rainfall and not even a hint of thunder. But the sunset it left behind was spectacular, and I rested a moment in the sheer majesty of the Master’s paintbrush. Soaking in moments such as these is like applying balm to my … Continue reading Ask The Father Directly

You see, she was gifted in the art of making beautiful, delicious pies….chocolate ones, strawberry ones, coconut creme, key lime, pecan…every pie known to man could be made better and more tasty by Ms. Rouge’s talented hands. Ms. Rouge knew that to open her own bakery she needed to hire some helpers to keep her bakery clean and spiffy. So she put advertisements in the newspaper and put a sign in the door. Many people walked by … Continue reading Hand Over Your Pie…Or Else

Jesus: The Anti-Socialist

everfaith

My last few posts have revolved around the way Barak Obama is knee-deep in socialistic thought. A commenter took offense at my opposition to socialism and wrote: The basic underlying belief of christianity is that we must treat all with equality, as we are all equal in God’s eyes. Capitalism is the house of the devil. It allows for a few to walk on the backs of the many, something that Jesus was opposed to. So your argument against socialism is contradictory to your christian beliefs. I chose not to allow that comment on that post because I felt it … Continue reading Jesus: The Anti-Socialist

Different Mouthpiece, Same Message

everfaith

Imagine a world where the work of one person is valued exactly the same as the work of another person. A medical technology scientist investigating the effects of drug interactions is valued by society no more and no less than the fisherman who risks his life out on the boat. The teacher and the doctor are so equally important that no distinction is made in their names or their titles. The firefighter, the plumber, and the atomic scientist are on the same footing socially and economically. A young child who shows aptitude for mathematical reasoning is quickly moved into a … Continue reading Different Mouthpiece, Same Message
