Thanksgiving Pie
Give to Caesar, Give to God
Thanksgiving Day in America is a very special day and warrents our review of the history of people who first settled in America and the circumstances that lead to that first Thanksgiving to God.

Scripture tells us to give to Caesar that which belongs to Caesar and give to God that which belongs to God. How many of us give our children over to Caesar five days a week for schooling?

Faith and Works
Jiffy Jesus
Are we saved by faith or works? By God's grace we are saved through faith, but then is it necessary to get excited about works? Do some congregations emphasize God's grace and neglect works, and some do the reverse?
I sometimes wonder if our Christian lifestyles are not sort of hit and run. Or, much like getting in the "drive-through" lane at a fast food restaurant. In other words we have a busy schedule, so we do our Christian "thing" and then rapidly move on.
Institutions of Lower Learning
Singing From A Foxhole
Many colleges are so liberal and so dominated by political correctness that they should be referred to as institutions of lower learning. Do you ever get the impression that some of our elected officials are only patriotic when it is the politically correct to do so? I do.
Anticipation of the Bride
Two Bags Short
During the months prior to the wedding our daughter Meredith gave her total self to that anticipated marriage. The Church, as the Bride of Christ should have such all consuming devotion.
A concrete project that is two bags short of cement can prove diastrous. The lack of proper training for our children may also have such results.
Training Champions
Homeland Security - Psalm 127
We would not supply all the basketball equipment for our child to train him to be a champion, and then send him to a football field to practice. Where should we send him to be a champion for Christ?
While the U.S. Congress has passed a law (man's) establishing a Homeland Security beauracy it is obvious that God's law as revealed in Psalm 127 has the real answer?
