Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! This day has been set aside since the 1st administration(as a set date) of this new country, as a day of thanksgiving to God Almighty for all His blessings that He pours out on us, through Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to all who are saved by His precious blood and the blessings He pours out on unbelievers also. It is a Christian holiday, established by the Pilgrims, to give thanks to God for delivering them to a new home, where they could worship God according to their conscious, without being persecuted for it, and for the opportunity to proclaim the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus Christ, to any and all, and also thanksgiving for their 1st harvest that God blessed them with.

This tradition has been celebrated by Christians for over 395 years or so, in this country and well before it became a country, and even though it is a national holiday now, the focus of the thanksgiving has always been to God Almighty, and not just a general thanks to what people might call, "luck", happenstance", or "fate", that they think happened in their lives the past year. Thanksgiving is the response to what are the blessings bestowed on us from above, not only on this day, but every day of the year. So, I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving and give glory to God, My Savior, Jesus Christ, Who, without His sacrifice on the cross, there is no freedom from anything, especially sin sickness, slavery of depravity, or death.

A great way to celebrate this day, if you do not know Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Savior, would be to get right with God and accept His gift of salvation through what His Son did for all of us on the cross, and that is by: Admitting that you are a sinner in need of a Savior to reconcile you to a relationship with God. Believe that Jesus Christ is exactly Who He says He is, THE Savior of ALL mankind and that He shed His blood on that cross He hung from, to pay for the sin debt you had run up against God's morals. And Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and Believe in your heart that God the Father raised Him from the dead, then you will be saved. It is that simple, all you have to do is accepted the free gift, and God doesn't force His gift on you, He allows you to choose to accept it or to reject it, and the choice you make(and EVERYONE will have to make a choice) will determine where you spend eternity.

Do you want to spend eternity in heaven with Jesus Christ or do you prefer to spend eternity in Hell with everyone else who decides that they don't need a free gift of salvation to be good and meet God's standards, they just need their own self-righteousness? It's your choice, and nobody knows how long they have in this life, so procrastination could lead to devastation, if you wait a second too long. Again, that is your choice to make.

God's Unconditional Love and His Holy Name trumps ALL Evil, ALL Sin, and ALL Hate, and He proved His Unconditional Love by dying on a cross for us, so He wouldn't have to spend eternity without us. Lev. 17:11 Hebrews 9:22 Ezekiel 16:62, 63 John 3:16-18,14:6, 19:30 Ephesians 1:7

"I'll stand on the Absolute Truth, the Word of God, and leave the relative truth to worldly people"
