There are times that we would like to express our profound gratitude to God for His faithfulness, mercy, and loving-kindness but do not know how best to do it. Many organizations and individuals prefer to host thanksgiving programs with prayers, songs, and feasting to celebrate the goodness of God.
Some other organizations and individuals give thanks to God through charity. Some visit the fatherless, prisons, old people’s homes, and internally displaced people’s camps. They bring gifts, while others send their donations. These kind gestures are ways of saying, “Thank you Jesus.”
The above examples of showing thanks to God are commendable and scriptural, but in all charity work, we should add evangelism as part of the ways through which we give thanks to God. We are aware of the enormous joy that would be provoked in Heaven if one soul is added to the kingdom of God (Luke15:7).
The heart desire of God is that the knowledge of His glory should fill the earth as waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14). I strongly believe that God will be highly delighted if the knowledge of His glory is expanded to people who have not known Him. Soul-winning should be an integral part of Thanksgiving if we want to provoke tremendous joy in Heaven.
The mandate of the Great Commission is so important to Christ that He mentioned it as His parting words to His disciples in the Gospels (Mathew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:46-47, John 20:21), and Act of Apostles (Acts 1:8). We are all saved to work for the salvation of others, but many of us have forgotten and neglected this heavenly assignment. In a time of thanksgiving when we are supposed to soberly reflect on what God has done for us and how best to give Him thanks, we should remember this assignment because obedience is better than sacrifice.
But Samuel replied: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams” (1 Samuel 15:22). Samuel is saying that it is […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
