“ ... having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.”— Ephesians 1:18-20 (ESV)Hetty Green was called America’s greatest miser.

One of Satan’s most sinister lies is that the Christian life is void of pleasure, whereas pursuing sin brings real satisfaction. I have heard multiple people describe God as some sort of cosmic kill-joy who seeks fun wherever it can be found and squash it. It’s ironic however, that the people I know who keep trying to find joy and fulfillment and pleasure in all kinds of earthly things, at the end of each attempt, seem quite dissatisfied.

I am not good at remembering things. I would like to say it started when I turned 40, but I have struggled for more than just the last year. I struggle to remember names when I am telling a story and I get stuck in that awkward time of waiting until the name pops into my head or find my wife. I can be told exactly what to pick up at the grocery and between the house and the store, I will forget. And don’t even get me started on childhood; that is a blur.

As we embark on a new year, I have heard several “experts” offer their predictions for 2024. I have heard financial experts explain we have successfully soft landed from fears of a recession and 2024 will be a year of growth for our investments. I have heard other financial experts give doomsday predictions for 2024 that left me feeling I need to sell everything while I am ahead.

I look forward to Thanksgiving every year. It is a time to reflect over the year and be reminded of all the ways God has blessed our family. Was life perfect over the last year? No. It had its challenges, but God was faithful and life is much more full and rich than we deserve. My family, like yours, has a lot to be thankful for as we sit down for our Thanksgiving meal next week. As we pause next week to be thankful, that sense of gratitude should lead us to a place of contentment.

Faith-based movies have been enjoying something of a renaissance lately—gaining ground not only in commercial viability but also in artistic credibility. To be sure, the bar has been low. Most of these movies are still not great; they’re just better than what we’ve come to expect. Sadly, the faith-based genre’s latest holiday movie sets the genre back—considerably. Journey to Bethlehem might still find an audience, in part because of thin competition due to the ongoing actors’ strike.

Tuesday night was another blow to the pro-life movement as Ohio voted overwhelmingly to enshrine the right to abortion into its constitution. This was the seventh win out of seven such referenda, including in many conservative-leaning states. In Virginia, where Governor Glenn Youngkin promised to sign a 15-week limit on abortions, pro-life Republicans both failed to flip the Senate and also lost the House, largely on the strength of consistent pro-abortion messaging by Democrats.

I was blessed to spend 13 years working in college ministry, mostly at two large residential universities in Virginia. Those were wonderfully sweet years of ministry for our family. We had the privilege of seeing students trust Christ, grow in their faith, become leaders, and be sent out to follow Jesus for the rest of their lives. Advertise on TGCOn several occasions, our team attempted to launch a ministry at other nearby schools, typically commuter colleges.
