Are Pilgrims & Puritans the same?
Many people are unaware that these groups are different. Their
differences were sometimes contentious, but as they came to the New
World those differences began to complement each other. Together they
became powerfully influence the birth of a NATION.

"They came out of the same Biblical Christianity. The Puritans were, (and are today), politically engaged. They were committed to work within the world system
and to change it. The Pilgrims were dubious about this. They were, (and
are today), separatists and not as politically engaged as the Puritan
Christians on the right and the Ecumenical Christians on the left. Down
through the centuries they have always affirmed the teaching of Jesus,
"No man can serve two masters".

Has the New World and the nation birthed, loved and cherished by both Puritans and Pilgrims now, by moving away from God, pushed off the influence these groups enjoyed for so long? Will the United States of America no longer be able extend the LIBERTY that has defined it greatness? If not, who will take its place?

AS AN AMERICAN I HAVE ALWAYS SEEN MYSELF AS BOTH A PURITAN AND A PILGRIM. Today I HAVE NOW BECOME “JUST” A PILGRIM....

I echo Dwight L. Moody...”I HAVE GIVEN YOU A LIFEBOAT"… "SAVE ALL YOU CAN.”

You don't want to miss this episode. I will explain the differences between these two groups, their mission and worldview, where the country has come and where it's going. I will also talk about America’s enemies and how we are now not only falling into their hands, but exhibit a nation under God’s impending judgment.
