I don’t know.
Spelling, grammar and composition MATTER. Lazy, Marxist educators stopped marking down students’ work and tests for spelling and grammar decades ago, and now everyone is illiterate and completely unable to write prose. Mr. Kelsey, and the organization he works for, loses massive credibility simply by virtue of the fact that sentences like this are allowed to be published:
“However, I have spoke to few producers . . . .“
Um, so neither Mr. Kelsey nor any of the editors of this magazine can properly conjugate the verb “to speak” into the past participle? Really? Call me a snob, but this sort of cringe-inducing error destroys a writer’s credibility – and this article is a prosaic disaster from beginning to end. It reads as if Obama wrote it. If you can’t even speak your native language, how can you possibly be trusted to hold forth on concepts of economics and mercantilism?
It may be that any of this can only be figured out if the person has a relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ.
You know the truth Quix because it is spiritually discerned.
People without the relationship live in fear.
Fear creates the blinders that truth, reason and facts cannot and will not overcome.
INDEED.
Very well put.
And true.
Thx thx for your kind words.
Good point. In his own day, Churchill had a particularly soaring rhetoric and that helped Britain to survive.
But that was also the time when you had a particularly low and coarse rhetoric of abuse: lackeys, jackals, hyenas, etc. Even Churchill's own rhetoric sometimes led him to make the wrong choices.
Orwell wasn't in any position to law down the law for people. Sometimes his "decent, plain man" routine can wear a little thin. His voice was just one of many in the noise of the time. But it was worth listening to more than so many of the others.

Live in fear? I fear other people, certainly not the Lord.
As I lurch, stumble and bang my way through this life I have this picture in my mind that when I am on my knees before the Lord, he is going to ask me, “Well, was that exciting enough or do you want to keep trying?”
What my answer will be I have no idea because I have anxiously held my arms open for a long time longing for a face to face meeting with the One who knows the answers to all of my questions.
Passing this one around ...

The facts around this painting convince many of us that it is a very real and accurate representation of the
PRINCE OF PEACE
as the child prodigy who painted it after her own Heavenly visits . . .
had it verified as accurate by
Colton Burpo after his Heavenly visit.
For years he’d rejected every other pic of Christ his parents had shown him—until that one.
Anyway—your narrative is easy to identify with.
Conversely, America's Founders thought so highly of Truth that it was the first thing they highlighted in the Declaration of Independence, the charter of our free republic.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."
