Family Worship for the Thanksgiving Season, Part 2 - Thankfulness in Suffering
November 25, 2014
Guest host Adam McManus [www.AdamMcManus.net] continues his conversation with Ray Rhodes, the author of "Family Worship for the Thanksgiving Season" [www.BooksThatNourish.com] about how he and his wife of 27 years maintained a grateful heart in the midst of five miscarriages. Contrary to the bad theology of the "Word of Faith" crowd, God allows suffering in our lives for a reason. Not only does Ray cite 2 Corinthians 1:1-11, but also a book by Deborah Howard entitled "Where is God in All of This?" as well as a favorite quote from Charles Spurgeon. If you are going through a trial right now, today's broadcast will be the perfect antidote. Plus, consider implementing the use of a "thankful" book this Thanksgiving, allowing for each family member to write -- or draw for the younger ones -- the reasons why you are thankful to God this year as a document which future generations will treasure for years to come.

Hunger Games - Mocking Jay is the third in the trilogy of Suzanne Collins' creation. Will Christians support the killing games or oppose them? Will they capitulate to situational ethics or oppose it? Will they support revolutionary solutions to society's problems or oppose them? Christian kids will recommend this new film to their friends on Facebook. But what should a Christian father think about such a film? Kevin Swanson reviews the first Hunger Games film with his daughter Emily, carefully examining the metaphysic, meta-ethic, gender roles, and ethical conundrums from the perspective of God’s Word.

On Friday, November 14th at 12:20 p.m. Eastern, the Washington National Cathedral will host a Muslim prayer service -- complete with Muslim prayer mats -- led by the Muslim South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool for a crowd of 100 invited Muslim guests. Shocking? Yes. Surprising? No. Katharine Jefferts Schori, the Episcopalian Presiding Bishop, declared in her 2009 General Convention address that "the great Western heresy is that we can be saved as individuals, that any of us can be in right relationship with God." No wonder she embraces the notion that all roads lead to heaven, homosexual "marriage", abortion on demand, and now a Muslim prayer service in the presumed House of God. Guest host Adam McManus [www.AdamMcManus.net] challenges you to politely object by emailing the Dean of the Cathedral, Gary Hall at dean@cathedral.org and calling him at 202.537.6200.
