Ep.584: What Makes You Thankful?
The original meaning of Thanksgiving Day
Theme Scripture: Psalms 147:7
So, how’d you do? Did you eat a lot? Watch some football? Hang out with family? It was nice to have a day off, wasn’t it? Now, we can get on with the business of really preparing for Christmas – you know, the presents, the decorations, Santa, the specials on TV – all that stuff. Wait a minute! What just happened here? I know we all had the experience of the Thanksgiving holiday this past Thursday, but my question to you is this – did we CELEBRATE the Thanksgiving holiday? Do we even know what the Thanksgiving holiday is supposed to be about? Stay with us as we look into a little history and spend a lot of time on the concept of thanksgiving...and who we ought to focus it on!

Ep.582: Should We Forgive God? (Part II)
Disaster, war, starvation – finding God’s plan
Theme Scripture: Exodus 20:5
There are many views of the character of God. Some see Him as angry, wrathful and impatient, while others see Him as just, loving and merciful. Whatever your view of His character, it is certain that we live in a world where things are NOT fair and people by the MILLIONS suffer for things they did not do. So, what does that do to our understanding of God? If He is all powerful and all wise, why does He allow such injustice, suffering and chaos? Has God abandoned us? Has He forgotten us? Does He even care about us? Did God make mistakes with His creation – did He create a world that “got away from Him” and now it’s too late to change things? Stay with us as we look into the myriads of difficulties in our world and try to understand where God is in all all of this. Should we forgive God? Is it even our place to forgive God?

Ep.580: Is Death Real?
Understanding death in the context of Halloween
Theme Scripture: Genesis 3:19
Last night was it – Halloween – the night where in many cases, kids are front and center – they dress up in all kinds of scary or funny costumes, go out and “trick or treat” for candy. This is our American tradition. My questions are these – do we know what is it all based on? Does Halloween’s basis even matter? What is it about death that we find so fascinating? What does the Bible say about all of this? Stay with us as we look into Halloween, death, candy and tradition.
