One of the things I used to share with the class when I was teaching church history at DTS was John Welsey's indignation at the Colonialists who lamented a lack of freedom and being "enslaved" by King George III. The ironic hypocrisy did not escape his notice or ire as the tried to get his generation to understand who was really "not free" and oppressed by tyranny. One other quick hit ... I think Christians 100 years from now will look at us in the era of 46 million abortions during our watch and think, "What were they smoking?!"
