“THE UNKNOWN POWER OF A SIMPLE THANK YOU” (LUKE 17:11-17) Kenny Burtch

Thankful, Gratitude

What is the value of a simple “Thank You?” How much “Power” does it have? I’m not sure I know the answer to that question, but for some reason Jesus upholds this Samaritan in the eyes of the Jews, because he took the time to say, “Thank You,” for what he had received. OUR OWN HISTORY RECORDS FOR US another great example of what a “Simple” Thank you can do. When John F.

Old Testament Passages Good for Every Christian to Know, Part 20

Old Testament Passages Good for Everyone to Know, Part 20 by Doug Jacoby

Our final passage in the present series on key O.T. passages is found in Nehemiah 8. This has been one of my all-time favorites since 1980. I was a young Christian (3 years in the Lord), and away at New College Oxford (part of my scholarship). That year I read the Bible in the Revised Standard Version, and I was falling in love with the Old Testament. It was increasingly obvious that both the NT and the OT were profoundly important—and interesting—gifts from the Lord.
