We don’t know the exact date of the celebration we call the First Thanksgiving, but it was probably in late September or early October, soon after the Pilgrims’ crops had been harvested. The term Thanksgiving, first applied in the nineteenth century, was not used by the Pilgrims. Despite what is widely taught in schools today, the “First Thanksgiving” was not a thanks to the Indians for saving the lives of the Pilgrims; but in fact was in reverence to the blessings bestowed upon God and His gift of the abundance of their crops. God had blessed them with so much abundance that they shared it with the Indians thus strengthening their relationship with their new neighbors. This book is ...
The Bell Witch in Myth and Memory
Apparently, slumber parties in the mid-South 1970s were plied with a strange ritual. At midnight attendees would gather before a mirror and chant “I don’t believe in the Bell Witch” three times to see if the legendary spook would appear alongside their own reflections—a practice that echoes the “Bloody Mary” pattern following the execution of Mary Queen of Scots centuries ago.

Indeed, the legend of the haint who terrorized the Bell family of Adams, Tennessee, is one of the best-known pieces of folklore in American storytelling—featured around the globe in popular-cu...
1 Samuel
1 Samuel is an Old Testament book that provides an increased current of truth leading toward the Messiah.

The cumulative affects of neglecting God and His Word are evident in the plight of Israel as a godly remnant struggled to maintain their hope in God's Promise. However, God's sovereign purpose and faithfulness would prevail: "For the Lord will not abandon His people on account of His great name, becaus...

To master the contents of Romans is to master the truths of the Christian faith. The essential message is that no amount of self-righteousness will qualify a person for God's favor. The theme of the letter to the Romans is declared clearly by its author, the Apostle Paul: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'But the righteous man shall live by faith.'" (Romans 1:16-17). This ...
