How to Turn Thanksgiving into Thanks-living – Part 2
In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, we can sometimes lose sight of the reason for our celebration. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the late Pastor Adrian Rogers continues his presentation on the subject of biblical thankfulness. He highlights ancient Israel's approach to gratefulness in the Tabernacle, and how Christians today can honor God.

How to Turn Thanksgiving into Thanks-living – Part 1
According to the late Pastor Adrian Rogers, “There is no other sin quite like the sin of ingratitude.” On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, we'll hear a special message from Pastor Rogers on the word “sacrifice,” and how it is used in Scripture. Psalm 107:21-22 states, “Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for mankind. Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works with songs of joy.” Be reminded that we must not take the Word of God lightly! We need to be grateful for all we have, especially as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving Day here in America.

Thriving In Crisis
It is possible not only to survive in a crisis, but actually to thrive in it. No better example exists than in the late Dr. Stephen Hawking, a former astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge in England. He is generally believed to be the most brilliant scientist since Einstein, and certainly, the most gifted theoretical astronomer to date. What may not be as widely publicized, however, is that Dr. Hawking had a progressive neuromuscular disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Going Home for Christmas
Isaiah 9:6 says, For to us a child is born, to us a son is given.” During the busy Christmas season, it is always a joy to be able to go home and spend time with loved ones while celebrating the birth of our Savior. But did you know that in 1958, Dr. James Dobson almost missed his chance to go home for Christmas and survived a harrowing experience while serving in the National Guard? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Roger Marsh shares Dr. Dobson’s December newsletter which includes a heartfelt and almost unbelievable story of how he was able to make it home for Christmas in the midst of a blizzard.

God’s Providence: What If Jesus Had Never Been Born – Part 2
According to Dr. Jerry Newcombe, so much of what is good about America can be traced back to the Bible. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the executive director of the Providence Forum concludes that there’s not a square mile on planet earth where Jesus has not made a positive difference. From Christian hospitals, orphanages, and schools to Christianity’s contribution to civil liberties, science, and medicine, this world would not be what it is without the Lord’s impact. Colossians 1:16-17 declares, “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

God’s Providence: The Voyage of the Mayflower – Part 1
On November 11, 1620, the Pilgrims, after fleeing religious persecution by sailing to America aboard the Mayflower and settling in Plymouth Colony, drafted an agreement of self-government under God called The Mayflower Compact. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Jerry Newcombe, executive director of the Providence Forum, says that agreement was the first step toward the creation of the Declaration of Independence 156 years later. He also notes that gratitude to God has been America’s key to success. From the first Thanksgiving 401 years ago to Lincoln’s annual remembrance during the dark days of the Civil War, Americans continue to “give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.”
