The True Thanksgiving Spirit

My Bible has a caption over Psalm 100, “A Psalm for Thanksgiving.” Verses four and five are familiar to many of us:

Enter His gates with thanksgiving, And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him; bless His name.
For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting,
And His faithfulness to all generations.

A Child-Sized Christmas Miracle

How awesome and ironic to think that the creator of the universe became a small, helpless baby.  In his book, The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, Alfred Edersheim (a nineteenth century Jewish convert to Christianity and biblical scholar) aptly put it this way:

What Excites Angels?

There is no pretense in the Bible that the events surrounding Jesus’ birth were natural, everyday occurrences. Instead they reveal God’s intervention into history throughout. No less than twenty-four supernatural events are recorded covering a period of less than two years.

There are at least 456 Old Testament prophecies pertaining to a future person which were all fulfilled in the life of Jesus. Evidence for the truth of this is that Jesus was demonstrated by Jews to be the Messiah and the Son of God to the satisfaction of many other Jews from their Old Testament Scriptures alone.

Part Two: “My WORLDVIEW”

By Dr. Don Bierle, FaithSearch President

FaithSearch International exists to extend the Gospel with evidence to all peoples everywhere. In 1 Peter 3:15 the apostle expresses how to be an effective witness to people whose minds are shaped by secular thinking. In the last two issues of the Paraclete I began explaining the components of what I am calling “A 3:15 Response.” In this issue I will expand on the second component.

My WORLDVIEW: “These are the ingredients which help me to think like Jesus.”

Have you ever heard someone suggest that there is no harm in what is being taught in our schools? 

According to David Gelernter, Professor of Computer Science at Yale University:

“Darwinism is no longer just a scientific theory but the basis of a worldview, and an emergency replacement religion for the many troubled souls who need one.”

God’s intention for the over 60 million babies, each one created in His image—yet who were killed by abortion—has been blocked by our sin!

“Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” —Psalm 139:16 NIV
