Happy Thanksgiving from Gospelcom!
Today is a day to give thanks–to take a break from our busy lives and reflect on the blessings that God has given us. To help you get into the Thanksgiving spirit, here are some devotionals and essays from around the Gospelcom alliance with something to say about thankfulness and Thanksgiving:
- Why Celebrate Thanksgiving? That’s a natural question to start with, and it’s a question raised in this essay at Village Schools of the Bible. Author Max Frazier examines Psalm 100 in an effort to find out why, exactly, we’re called to be thankful.
- What is Thanksgiving? Another essay from VSB, this one looking at what exactly it means to celebrate Thanksgiving. Hint: it’s more than just Pilgrims, Indians, and turkey!
- Back to the Bible asked its friends and supporters to write in and describe what they’re thankful for. They’ve put the inspiring responses online for us to ponder!
- No holiday would be complete without the Christian History Institute’s excellent coverage of its historical background–so if you’re curious about the historical origins of Thanksgiving, check out their coverage of the story of Thanksgiving.
- Gospel Communications, the founder of the Gospelcom Alliance, has published a special Thanksgiving message about what they’re thankful for in 2006.
- One big way we express our thankfulness to God is through prayer–and so Sammy Tippit Ministries has a devotional message showing us how to pray with a thankful heart.
- Last but not least, Good News / Crossway has several Thanksgiving tracts available–you can read them online or order print copies.
From everybody at the Gospelcom Alliance, we wish you a blessed Thanksgiving holiday!
