“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.”“Life… Liberty… and the pursuit of Happiness.”We published those words 229 years ago when we declared our independence from Britain. That document was the earliest expression of what has come to be known as the American dream.Jefferson's Declaration did not free us from the tyranny of Britain. It merely communicated our collective desire to be unfettered and unrestrained.Do we now feel unfettered and unrestrained? I think not.It seems to me that our current view of the American dream sees raw ambition as “the pursuit of happiness.”Ambition is like sexual hunger. It is satisfied with accomplishment only for a moment, and then the hunger returns. Ambition will lead you to momentary satisfaction, but it will not lead you to happiness.John D. Rockefeller, the world's first billionaire, was worth 1% of the entire U.S. economy when he was asked,“How much money does it take to make a man happy?”Rockefeller answered, “Just a little bit more.”Ambition is never contented.Am I condemning ambition? I promise you that I am not. I am merely pointing out the deep chasm that separates the unending hunger of ambition from the high and lofty contentment of happiness.An old man named Paul wrote a letter to a young man named Timothy 2,000 years ago. Near the end of that letter, Paul wrote about old people and hypocrites and slavery and wealth.Paul then added two sentences that have echoed in my brain for the past 60 years.“To know God and to be deeply contented is the true definition of wealth. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.”Happiness cannot spread its wings while wearing the handcuffs of our ambitions. The shining light of Hope is made of a stronger and happier substance than our dark dreams of future accomplishment.Ambition can bring you recognition, reputation, and riches. But those are no substitute for friendships, family, and contentment; for these are the three strong cords from which happiness is woven.Have you figured it out yet? Happiness is not material. It is relational.With whom do you have a meaningful relationship?Roy H.

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Vaughn & Dr. Tankersley – At the beginning of the program, we start with a sad example of the reality of deception that is so prevalent with the shooting that killed a bystander and injured President Donald Trump. The opening clip's description of the liberals' hating of the truth may have never been better displayed: within 24 hours of the near-tragedy, the media complex unleashed...
America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Vaughn & Dr. Tankersley – We have clearly lost our way, and the spiritual dynamics that underpin virtue are in short supply — both in our personal lives and those we select to lead us in religion, politics, business, science, and the military. In this week's show, we focus on the scientific absurdities that abound because Truth matters...
This Sunday is a Celebration! We're celebrating Jesus, the armed forces & civil servants who serve our country, and those who have served the Kingdom through Trinity this year. We also continue in Romans with Chapter 14, considering how to use our liberty to advance God's glory.
This country was founded on a grievance, but 250 years later, we may be taking those sentiments too far. Frank Bruni, a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why Americans are finding identities in grievances, why hardships have become so performative, and how we are missing out on what's working for the country, collectively. His book is “The Age of Grievance.”
The Declaration of Independence establishes the ideals on which this break away nation founds itself on. But it's full of contradictions. It complains of white colonists being enslaved by King George III, yet its signatories own enslaved Africans. It declares all men are created equal, but what about women? Listen as Anita and William are joined by Maya Jasanoff as they explore the war, from the evacuation of Boston, to the battle of Yorktown.
