American Impotence:
There were important international meetings in the Western world that resulted in some speeches by various leaders of the West, a number of press conferences, and even a non-binding U.N. resolution denouncing Russia’s annexation of Crimea. We heard a lot of talk about “isolating” Russia, including throwing them out of that exclusive club formerly known as the G-8, as well as a series of announcements applying travel restrictions and financial sanctions on maybe 30 to 40 insider Russians and pro-Russian Ukrainians.

Comments Off on Gratitude to God: Preparing for the Kingdom, Videos, by CGP.
Jeff Patton talks about “eucharistia,” that essential attribute of thankfulness for God’s graciousness that is a vital part of true worship. So do we know what God has done for us and will do in the future? Do we appreciate all of His gifts, and have we expressed our thanks to Him?
