Monday, November 27, 2017 at 11:04AM Today's Show: THANKSGIVING PAST & PRESENT - 11.27.2017
Chris discusses the Thanksgiving holiday and how it has been changed by post modern ideology, and the anti-Colonialist movement in the United States. How different the worldview of our country is from a short time ago, when men like Charles Dickens encouraged Americans to be thankful for the many blessings that God had given to our nation. Yet today, it appears that the annual tradition of giving thanks has been diminished through an increase of material and commercial interests. The original purpose of the holiday was to give thanks to Almighty God. In early America, this was not only seen as appropriate but was also declared to be the "duty of all nations" -- as it was described by George Washington in his Thanksgiving proclamation of 1789.
