Nineteen Eighty-Four – HISTORY HEIST

A dystopian novel (written by George Orwell) set in an imaginary future world that is dominated by three perpetually warring totalitarian police states. The book’s hero, Winston Smith, is a minor party functionary in one of these states. His longing for truth and decency leads him to secretly rebel against the government. Smith has a love affair with a like-minded woman, but they are both arrested by the Thought Police. The ensuing imprisonment, torture, and reeducation of Smith are intended not merely to break him physically or make him submit but to root out his independent mental existence and his spiritual dignity. Orwell’s warning of the dangers of totalitarianism made a deep impression on his contemporaries and upon subsequent readers, and the book’s title and many of its coinages, such as NEWSPEAK, became bywords for modern political abuses.

116 years ago

At a time when human relationships in America and around the world are confused and conflicting, observance of God’s original design will always prove to be a blessing to the individual, the family, the church, the nation, and the world. Mother’s Day, like the overwhelming majority of American holidays, … Read More
