Salvation: The Song Of Thanksgiving Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 2, 2022

Even while others are facing judgment the saved will praise God. The joy of salvation is wonderfully expressed in a song. Salvation causes us to rejoice and praise God. This is very appropriately expressed in song.

One way a person expresses love is through a song. If Jeremiah is the weeping prophet then Isaiah may be the singing prophet. Isaiah composed a lot of songs. Isaiah 26:1-9 is a song of praise that expresses thankfulness to God for salvation. This song expresses joy of salvation, praise to a worthy ...read more

Bing Crosby And Blowing Smoke

Contributed by Doug Newton on Aug 24, 2018

Try as you might, our God-given conscience simply won’t tolerate any attempt to see ourselves as better than we are without squelching deep inside us.

I remember being disappointed when I heard about Bing Crosby’s troubled relationships with his children. In 1983 his son Gary published a book “Going My Own Way” with shocking disclosures about Bing’s abusive forms of discipline. I dropped my pants, pulled down my undershorts and bent over.
