| Let's Keep Thanksgiving! |
| by Kenyn Cureton |
| Christ-followers should continue to keep Thanksgiving, not just because of tradition but because we are truly thankful to God. Honestly, thanksgiving should be more than a "day" on the calendar. It ought to be a way of life. Indeed, the Scriptures in both the Old Testament and New Testament command it. |

| 5 Ways a 3,470-Year-Old Thanksgiving Song Remains Relevant |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The greatest rejoicing often follows deliverance from the greatest perils. Nearly three-and-a-half millennia ago, the children of Israel were trapped between an impassable sea and an invincible army (Exodus 14:9). The recently emancipated slaves had no army, no boats, and no plan. Within hours, God had helped them pass through the sea and annihilated the opposing army (Exodus 14:21-29). Here is a collection of five reasons for thanksgiving from Moses's song of the sea, which American Christians living in 2024 can apply to their own situation and sing praises to God. |

| Thankfulness Should Not Be Limited to Thanksgiving |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| As I consider the occasions that often spark our outward expression of gratitude, I wonder: Is thankfulness meant to be something that comes and goes? I can't help but feel that, as Christians, this shouldn't be the case. Rather, gratitude is the very posture we hold in our day-to-day. Thankfulness was never meant to be limited to Thanksgiving or a birthday. Especially for believers, it's supposed to define our lives. |

| by Ben Johnson |

"[O]ur soul will be troubled as long as systemic racism is allowed to persist," he said.

| State Dept. Promotes Woke Ideology Worldwide. Can Trump's Administration Stop It? |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| A change of presidential administrations offers opportunities for a change of personnel and policy. And few departments of the U.S. government need reform as desperately as the U.S. State Department. America's diplomatic bureau "is supposed to work for the benefit of the American people," said Family Research Council Senior Fellow Joseph Backholm on "Washington Watch" Tuesday, "but has also been skewing toward fringe aspects of U.S. domestic social issues and away from enduring core U.S. values." The Trump administration has a chance to change that. |

| Dem Officials Labeled 'Insurrectionists' for Opposing Mass Deportations |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| After years of accusing former President Donald Trump of "insurrection," Democrats speaking out against the president-elect's deportation plans are now being treated to a taste of their own medicine. A coalition of Democratic governors and mayors has formed over the past several weeks, calling for opposition to Trump's much-anticipated mass deportation program. |

| Trump Cabinet Nominees Receive Bomb Threats |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating "numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees." The incidents, which so far appear to be hoaxes, serve as a reminder that political violence and illegal intimidation tactics are still not far from the American political system. |
