Christian Leaders Offer Spiritual Wisdom for Your Thanksgiving Holiday

As millions of Americans celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow, Christian and Jewish faith leaders offer their own blessings and spiritual wisdom:

Greg Laurie, evangelist and senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship:

“Thanksgiving is a day that was established by our government for Americans to give thanks to God almighty for his favor upon our nation. Yet it seems like we have forgotten this. We go from Halloween straight to Christmas and altogether skip Thanksgiving. We need to remember how important it is to give thanks to God — not just on Thanksgiving Day but on every day. The Bible says, ‘Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever’ (Ps. 136:1). We know life is not always good, and sometimes bad things happen, but God is still good…”

Dr. K.P Yohannan, founder and president of Gospel for Asia:

“I’d like to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. Psalm 9:1 says, ‘I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.’ As we gather with friends and family during this Thanksgiving season and praise God for the wonderful things He has done in our lives, let us also remember to thank Him for the family of God scattered around the world, many of whom are enduring incredible difficulties and hardships because of their faith. Let us also give thanks for the miraculous ways He is drawing people from many nations to share in the hope of His incredible love. May the Lord bless you.”
