Omar Aleman: Stand By Me
How could I not love my grandparents’ house? Located within the Central Park perimeter of our small town, it served as the only residence surrounding the plaza. Nestled next to the fire station on one side and a grocery store on the other, this was the portion of town “where everybody knows your name.” I would spend afternoons as a young boy talking to the firemen, pretending to... -

In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge declared, “The chief business of the American people is business,” capturing the nation’s strong pro-business spirit.

History suggests something far less impressive to the modern ear, yet far truer to the work of God. In March of 1863, with the nation tearing itself apart in civil war, Abraham Lincoln called the country... -
Dr. Warren Gage: The United States of America at 250 Years: Are We Still a Republic?
As the Constitutional Convention finished its work on September 17, 1787, Mrs. Elizabeth Willing Powell asked Dr. Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got? A Republic or a Monarchy?” The good doctor answered her with the famous words, “A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it.” Mrs. Powell’s question is instructive, but also surprising to modern Americans because of what she did... -
