True Thanksgiving

11/22/25 True Thanksgiving 1964
Peter Marshall, author of The Light and The Glory, tells how God saved the Pilgrims from shipwreck, starvation and disease. Peter Marshall's extensive research show the Pilgrims weren't witch-hunting, killjoys but people who were colorful, vivacious and filled with joy and celebration. He tells how they came through their starving time (five kernels of corn a day) to reap a wonderful harvest that came to be known as Thanksgiving. Peter Marshall says the Pilgrims didn’t come here for religious freedom, but they came here as missionaries. God brought an English speaking Indian who taught them survival skills. Connie, a 4th grade teacher, reads from the diary of a 12-year-old girl who survived a horrendous voyage on the Mayflower.

God’s Incredible Design

11/15/20 God’s Incredible Design 1963
Dr Geoffrey Simmons, a medical doctor and author of 9 books, describes the incredible design in the human body, and in the marvels of nature, like the giraffe’s neck and the woodpecker’s tongue. Darwin didn’t understand genetics or how a child inherits traits from his parents, so how could he know people evolved from apes? Darwin wrote that whales were the result of bears going out to sea. The bears would have drowned. Dr Simmons tells of the intelligent octopus, and birds that fly from Alaska to Hawaii, non-stop. This couldn’t have happened because they gradually would have drowned.

Ted Byfield, author of The Christians: Their First Two Thousand Years, says the world was convinced of the truth of the gospel, because Christians demonstrated their faith through the most gruesome tortures and death. Todd Nettleson, with the Voice of the Martyrs, gives fascinating accounts from his book Extreme Devotion, such as the mother who refused to deny Christ despite being forced to watch her children hanged, and she was run over by a steamroller. Supernatural courage originates with God.
