“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name” (Psalm 100:4).  When I was growing up, Thanksgiving was an important day. My grandmother cooked all of her special recipes (I still make them today), the best dinnerware was set on the table, cloth tablecloths were […]

Many things have happened since God created the heavens and the earth. Mankind is God’s ultimate creation, and we certainly should be grateful. Are we? I don’t think so. Instead of learning from the past, we seem to repeat the same mistakes again and again. Instead of studying prophecy and learning from it, we seem […]
