This is the last article in the Thanksgiving
miniseries, and it feels like an appropriate place to stop. The whole month, I
have essentially been answering this question. But I want to take just a little
while today to bring to the forefront the reasons why we ought to offer our
thanks to God.

Did The Ancient Israelites Have Thanksgiving?
I hope everyone has been getting into the
Thanksgiving mood. Or more appropriately, the Thanksgiving mode. It is an
attitude, the ability to turn to God and acknowledge His providence for us. As
we discussed last week, it has a long and important history in this country.
Sadly, it is being lost, and we need to stand up for it if it is not to go to
the wayside.

What Should We Think About the Syrian Refugee Crisis?
Updated 11/17/2015:
I initially posted this article on September 25th,

out by Islamic terrorists on November 13th, and because I was asked
to comment on it.

What Do We Know About Thanksgiving?
In week two of the November Thanksgiving series, we
are going to consider a few questions in rapid-fire succession. What is the
history of Thanksgiving in America? What is its purpose, and its implications
for the separation of church and state? And why is it so underappreciated in
our society? I am looking at them all together because I believe the answers
are interconnected.
Do Creationists Deserve Abuse?
I saw an interesting article today, and even though
I am writing to criticize it, I actually want to recommend it, too. By
Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, “The
Errors of the Militant Atheist” is a good look at some of the basic flaws
in the secularist worldview. It is worth the time to read it.

How Often Do You Think About Thanksgiving?
Now that October is over, I need to find a new
topic. I liked doing the miniseries thing, so I am going to do it again. For
the next few weeks leading up to it, I am going to run another series. This one
will be on the importance of Thanksgiving.

"Why Was My Heart Broken?"
What do you do when you are asked an implicit
question? We all face them at times, often when we’re talking to a friend and they
are struggling with something. They want to understand it, they want to feel
like life has a purpose and this current cloud will clear. They want you to
offer some form of comfort or explanation. But they cannot quite come to the
point of asking outright what they should be doing or feeling. What do you do
then?
