The Lord's Day

As our family sat around the table at breakfast this morning, it was great to see everyone got a good night's sleep. Yesterday, we had about 17 people at our home for our Thanksgiving meal. Some family members had to work on Thursday while my oldest son and I laid new flooring at my wife's parents house. After a long week of hard work, it was good to have much of our family and friends gathered around the table to enjoy the Lord's provision and bless Him for all He has done. 

Today, we took it easy and just enjoyed our time together for the early morning, taking our day of rest. Soon, we will be watching Voddie Baucham's message "Why I Choose To Believe The Bible" on Youtube. We are glad to have such great teaching and preaching available in our modern age and consider it a great privilege to have this kind of access to the teaching of faithful men of God.

Later on we hope to work through the "Catastrophe" portion of AIG's "Hiking through History" which works through the Gospel in a clear and concise chronological approach. The books were graciously given to us by a brother in Christ from West Virginia some time ago and are finally being put to use. I am amazed that sometimes we let good material sit around the house some times, but I also consider it a blessing that we have this type of abundance and are able to use things like this on a cold windy day (though the kids played outside for quite a while)and that we can talk about the Lord's salvation again by making use of resources that rely on God's Word for its authority. 

Grace and peace to you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ the Righteous.
