And the most amazing part of this story is that there are 1,500 members of a Presbyterian Church in America in, of all places, the People's Republic of Santa Monica!

All glory to God.

God bless them for their charity.

Delivered by several churches led by Pacific Crossroads in Santa Monica, Calif., the boxes contain ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal for six. They allow impoverished families to skip food lines and neighborhood pantries and enjoy the holiday in their own homes.

The love of Christ in action.

This day, this Thanksgiving, this life is so full of blessings!

A friend's home saved from burning during the Reno Urban Wildfire yesterday and today, hearing from a precious sister-in-Christ that has been so missed.

In regard to the WSJ article, I believe that the reason for the failure of government run social programs and the lack of accountability is that the government has taken over the work of the church from afar. No one is blessed in these transactions.

"Finally, on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, dozens of church members take the boxes to the doors of families in need". Both parties are blessed.

What a great idea! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Calvinists invented Thanksgiving. Of course we are going to be the best celebrators of it!

Across the USA every Thanksgiving, meals and food parcels are distributed in the hundreds of thousands. Churches of many different denominations, the Red Cross, food banks, businesses and individual philanthropists all contribute. Here in Augusta, GA, the late James Brown (aka "The Godfather of Soul") used to give out hundreds of turkeys every Thanksgiving. It happens all over the country. So I'm guessing that the only thing which makes this piece newsworthy is that it's Calvinists who are doing it. I mean if Calvinists did this all the time, it wouldn't be news, right?

The headline says that "charity and predestination go hand in hand". Is that to imply that predestination is a prerequisite for the exercise of charity?

Perhaps "da Godfather" was a member of the elect, too.

How’s RCIA going?

Dr. E, it is wonderful to see you post again! We have been praying for you! God is so good!

[guitarplayer1953]

To bad they can’t say God loves you when they pass out the meals. But they can say your going to hell and were not because we are the elect!
