Ken Masugi once again shares with us this Advent. A taste:
What America has learned at its best is how to create a city for mortal men while recognizing their passing thorough this world. It does not offer a this-worldly heaven but simply a way to rule themselves, provide for families, a sense of self-achievement, and service to others. It is precisely these virtues that seem to be under fire within America itself. The government and its elites have a different agenda, that of worldly happiness itself as an alternative to living a responsible, disciplined life in this world, knowing that four score years are about right. It is not an accident that the point of controversy is most often over the nature of the family, over begetting, virtue, and standards of integrity.Dear Reader,GIVE NOWWhile I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
