The Ageless
Thanksgiving Day
A fledgling nation had
good reason to thank
God for achieving
something they couldn't
do for themselves--
survive.
Always
In his letter to the
Thessalonians, Paul urges
the early Christians to give
thanks in "everything."
Does he set the bar
impossibly high?
Bible Study:
Bartimaeus
A blind man with a
dismal future begged
"the son of David" to
give him eyes to see.
What problems might
Christ be inviting you
to perceive through a
grace-filled lens?
