The early years of my public school education, from kindergarten through junior high school, consisted of the traditional state-mandated curriculum of the three “Rs” (Reading, Writing, Arithmetic), along with evolutionary science taught mostly by avowed atheists and agonistics. The only time “God” was ever mentioned in my school was first thing in the morning during the required student recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, as we stood next to our desks facing the American flag with hand-over-heart.

We are barely into 2024 and already preparing for a major evangelism outreach initiative next year. Actually, plans for evangelism in 2025 were already well underway in 2023.

It is remarkable to see how God can use the least likely people to do amazing things, such as the apostles Peter and John. If He can use them, He can surely use any of us, if we are willing.

Christians have the inside edge when it comes to truly understanding where we are in earth’s history, why things are the way they are, and where all things are going to ultimately wind up.

As Creator of all things and Sustainer of life, God alone is deserving of our praise and adoration. He is the object of our thanksgiving.
