Podcasts about thanksgiving proclamation

In this reflective episode of The Wandering Pilgrims, we delve into the profound words of Samuel Adams as he presents the National Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1777. This historic document calls upon all individuals to recognize and express gratitude for the divine providence of Almighty God, particularly during a time of conflict and uncertainty as the American colonies sought independence.Adams emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the blessings received, from the support of troops to the success in their just cause. The proclamation invites citizens to set aside December 18th for a solemn day of thanksgiving, urging a collective expression of gratitude and a commitment to divine service. As we explore the language of this proclamation, we uncover the deep intertwining of faith and governance during a pivotal moment in American history.Join us as we reflect on the themes of humility, national unity, and the pursuit of liberty, all framed within the context of a heartfelt supplication for God's continued blessings on the fledgling nation.

It's Tuesday, December 3rd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Chinese democracy activists get prison time The Chinese Communist government in Hong Kong has sentenced 45 democracy activists to prison time. The activists had participated in a political party for a primary not approved of by the state. At least two Christians, Benny Tai, age 60, and Joshua Wong, age 28, were among those sent to prison. Finnish officials cancel concert featuring Handel's Messiah A school in the former Christian-influenced nation of Finland cancelled a concert featuring segments of Handel's Messiah.  According to a news report from the Helsingin Salomat paper, the cancelled concert would have been a joint performance by the Finnish Baroque Orchestra and the Helsinki Chamber Choir. Biden-Harris Dept of Ed. persecuting Christian colleges The American Principles Project has released a report charging the Biden administration's Department of Education with persecuting Christian colleges. The report cites that nearly 70% of penalties imposed by the Department of Education's Office of Enforcement has been against Christian institutions and career colleges, even though these schools represent less than 10% of college students. And, within the last year, the Biden-Harris Department of Education imposed record fines against two of the nation's most prominent Christian universities.  It fined Grand Canyon University a whopping $37.7 million for allegedly “not fully informing” students about the costs of its doctoral programs on its website. University officials “categorically” denied the allegation. And the education bureaucrats levied a $14 million fine against Liberty University for alleged violations which stem from a failure to comply with crime-reporting requirements.  The Department's penalty, the largest ever for the category, hardly fits the accusation— especially considering steps the school voluntarily took to remedy its reporting and agreed to spend $2 million towards “on-campus safety improvements and compliance enhancements.” By comparison, Michigan State University was only fined $4.5 million in 2019 for failing to report sexual abuses by former team doctor Larry Nassar, who assaulted hundreds of victims The fines of the Christian colleges amount to more than all other penalties assessed by the Department of Education over the past seven years. Also, the report points out that funding for the heavy-handed enforcement has increased from $4 million to $61 million just since 2023. Planned Parenthood gave hearts of aborted babies to scientists Stomach-churning emails show Planned Parenthood negotiating terms regarding the donation of aborted fetuses for medical research, reports the New York Post. The emails discuss fetal tissue like any other commodity such as sugar or rice, nonchalantly negotiating for dead babies who were alive up to 23 weeks gestation from elective abortions. A heavily-redacted so-called “Research Plan” submitted to the University of California San Diego Institutional Review Board, and approved in 2018, states scientists wanted 2,500 dead babies from up to almost the sixth month of gestation for experimentation.  The plan gruesomely states, “We will collect tissues from fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 weeks gestational age from subjects undergoing elective surgical pregnancy termination at Planned Parenthood in San Diego.” Although selling fetal tissue is illegal, donating it is not illegal. The contract between University of California San Diego and Planned Parenthood appears to allow Planned Parenthood to retain “intellectual property rights” relating to the fetal tissue, although it also does not grant the school the independent right to “commercialize” the tissue.  David Daleiden, pro-life journalist and the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, obtained the emails by filing a California public records request. Let's remember the words of Psalm 94:2-3, 6-7, 8-10.  “Rise up, O Judge of the Earth; repay to the proud what they deserve! O Lord, how long shall the wicked exult? They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; and they say, ‘The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.' “Understand, O dullest of the people. Fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see? He who disciplines the nations, does He not rebuke?” Joe Biden pardons his son In a surprising turn around, President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, of several firearms charges, and “all crimes committed between 2014 and 2024,” which could have added up to 17 years prison time, reports The Associated Press. Gun control has played a major part in the 4-year Biden administration. Between 1993 and 2008, while serving in the US Senate, Joe Biden voted against gun rights on all nine bills presented. Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas cheered him on. CROCKETT: “Way to go, Joe. Let me be the first one to congratulate the president for deciding to do this. Because, at the end of the day, we know that we have a 34-count convicted felon that is about to walk into the White House. So, for anyone that wants to clutch their pearls now, because he decided that he was going to pardon his son, I would say, take a look in the mirror.” But Scott Jennings, the conservative commentator on CNN, was aghast. JENNINGS: “This is the worst possible thing a president could possibly do to his party and to the country. To sit for a year and say, ‘I will not do this. The rule of law is sacred. We have to respect the justice system. We have to respect juries. We have to respect the guard rails and the norms of our democracy.' “These people are liars. Inflation: it's transitory. Afghanistan: it's a success. The border is secure. Robert Hur is a liar. The videos are cheap fakes. Biden has a cold. He'll never drop out. ‘Oh, I'll never pardon Hunter.' It's all a lie. It is all a grift. “Every American -- except the most partisan, brain-rotted people -- are going to be outraged by this today. He's disgraced. Joe Biden, [White House Press Secretary] Karine Jean-Pierre, how many minutes of tape do we have of both of these people telling the American people this will not happen? We could play it all morning. And it's a lie to benefit his own family. “He's drained every ounce of credibility from every surrogate. If Karine Jean-Pierre had an ounce of self-respect, she'd get off the plane in Africa today, where they're going so he can avoid the press, and resign. He's drained all of her credibility and everybody else who's defended this.” Interestingly, prior to the election, in an interview with Hugh Hewitt, President-elect Donald Trump said he would consider a pardon for Hunter Biden. Biden censors God in Thanksgiving Proclamation In other President Biden news, for the second year in a row, he issued a Thanksgiving proclamation completely avoiding any mention of God, reports Breitbart. Thus far, only Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden have left God out of Thanksgiving. Romans 1:21 explains that “although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” Homosexual couples adopt at 7x the rate as heterosexual couples And finally, courts are awarding homosexual male couples and  homosexual female couples living together in sin with adoptions at seven times the rate of heterosexual married couples, according to recent data from the Census Bureau.  A full 21% of homosexuals living in a sinful relationship have adopted children.  Tragically, the Mark Regnerus study conducted in 2012 found that 8% of children raised in homosexual homes are victims of incest.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, December 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

God calls us to be a thankful people (1 Thess. 5:18), and such thanks was powerfully modeled to us by the Pilgrims in Plymouth in 1621. Following a harsh start where half their number died due to sickness and starvation, they gathered the next Fall to celebrate God’s goodness. Joined by local Indians such as Chief Massasoit and Squanto, they feasted, played games, and gave thanks to their Maker for blessing them with an abundant harvest. In this podcast, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm, joined by special guest Al Burke, give practical tips on how to celebrate Thanksgiving Day as a family. Along with fitting songs to sing, they suggest fun games to play rooted in Pilgrim history, special Psalms to rehearse, and Thanksgiving Proclamations and other period accounts to read aloud—all designed for families to enjoy a rich and memorable day of thanks together.

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer embarks on a journey that traces the origins of the first Thanksgiving celebrated by the Pilgrims in the autumn of 1621. This first Thanksgiving came as a result of a harsh 1620 winter, where as many as half the original colonists died. It was after a strong crop harvest the following year that the Pilgrims decided to hold a day of celebration and prayer, and they invited their Native American friends, who had helped them along the way, to join them. Fast forward 168 years, when our nation's first President, George Washington, issued the Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789, which described in its opening sentence what the occasion was all about. President Washington wrote: “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor…” Seventy-four years later, Abraham Lincoln in his 1863 proclamation urged all Americans to observe the last Thursday of November “… as a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens.” The fact that Lincoln could call for such a day even during the sufferings of the Civil War demonstrates how much he believed that all our blessings came from the “Most High God.” With this act, the American tradition of Thanksgiving was ensconced into our culture. May we never forget.

On this Thanksgiving in America we want to release proclamations over our nation and remember all that the Lord has done for us.  Both President Washington and Lincoln declare our thankfulness to our Lord on this special day.  

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you this year.  2023 has been unbelievable.  I wanted to revisit George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation with you on this wonderful holiday.  I am so thankful and grateful for all of you in this audience, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday with friends and family. “A Day of Thanksgiving” George Washington first mentioned the possibility of a national Thanksgiving Day in a confidential letter to James Madison in August 1789 (just months after taking office), asking for his advice on approaching the Senate for their opinion on “a day of thanksgiving.” By the end of September 1789, a resolution had been introduced to the House of Representatives requesting that “a joint committee of both Houses be directed to wait upon the President of the United States, to request that he would recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving.” The committee put the resolution before the president and George Washington issued the first national Thanksgiving Proclamation within days. George Washington knew the value of a thanksgiving day long before becoming our first president. During the Revolutionary War, he would order special thanksgiving services for his troops after successful battles, as well as publicly endorse efforts by the Continental Congress to proclaim days of thanks, usually in recognition of military victories and alliances.

The story of our nation is one of courage, heroism, and devotion to God.Perhaps most of all, it is the story of God's gracious hand upon a people who sought to honor Him.Join me for today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.The Proclamation I read today can be found herehttps://pilgrimhall.org/pdf/TG_First_National_Thanksgiving_Proclamation_1777.pdfJoin us at our Faithwalers Conference, December 27-30, in Black Mountain, NC. Go to Faithwalkersconference.com to learn more and to registerWho do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To become a TSCM Ministry Partner, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/supportTo find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TicTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher Have you read my book, "Takin' it to Their Turf"?If not, you may request a copy on my website, www.TomthePreacher.comWe send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email.************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.TomthePreacher.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the warm aroma of a Watts Brewing Xylocopa Stout, John and Wes embarked on a thought-provoking journey, delving into the heart and soul of Thanksgiving, a holiday often shrouded in myths and misconceptions. As they savored the rich, complex flavors of a Rittnehouse Bottle-In-Bond Rye, their conversation unfolded, illuminating the true essence of this cherished tradition. We raise our glasses, offering a heartfelt toast to all the balderdashers, producers, barflies, and listeners who make our podcast a reality. Cheers!

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, is often remembered for his leadership during the Civil War, a time marked by immense national turmoil and loss. Yet, an often overlooked aspect of his character was his profound aversion to violence and harm, extending even to animals. This trait was notably exemplified in his interactions with Thanksgiving turkeys.It was during the 1860s, amidst the height of the Civil War, that Lincoln reportedly pardoned a turkey intended for the White House's Thanksgiving meal at the pleading of his young son Tad. The turkey, “Jack” became a White House pet, and would be a frequent site around the White House grounds. This act, while seemingly minor in the broader scope of his presidency, reflected a deeper, personal aversion to violence that Lincoln carried throughout his life and his commitment to provide his children with a modicum of normalcy in their own lives, which would be anything but normal. From a young age, Lincoln exhibited a gentle disposition towards animals. One anecdote tells of a young Lincoln, who, upon attempting to kill a chicken, was so stricken by the act that he swore never to harm an animal again. This incident was not an isolated one. During his life, he had multiple encounters that showcased his empathy and kindness towards animals.As a child, he would scold his friends against harming turtles or stepping on bugs, quipping: “an ant's life is to it as sweet as our's is to us.” While riding the legal circuit as a young lawyer, Lincoln was known to go out of his way to help animals in distress. He once stopped in a rainstorm to return baby birds to their nest after they had fallen out, showcasing a level of compassion that was quite rare in that era and, indeed, was retold as a negative mark on his masculine character by his fellow jurists. On another occasion, he is said to have risked his own safety to save his dog, Fido, who had fallen through ice–not something that would be a common reaction in the 19th century American midwest.These stories, while seemingly small, painted a picture of a man deeply troubled by violence and suffering. This aversion wasn't limited to animals. Lincoln's presidency, dominated by the Civil War, was a period of great internal conflict for him. He presided over a nation divided, a time when death and destruction were daily realities. Yet, even in such times, his aversion to harm and violence remained a guiding principle.Lincoln's empathy was not without personal cost. He struggled with depression and feelings of inferiority throughout his life. His melancholy was well-documented, and he often spoke of his mental health struggles. However, these struggles also imparted a strength and resilience to Lincoln, enabling him to lead the nation through its darkest hours.His philosophy, as he once put it, was to "be sure to put your feet in the right place and then stand firm." This mindset was evident in both his political and personal life. His decision to pardon the Thanksgiving turkeys, an obviously small anecdote in the scope of a much broader life that should not be extrapolated from too liberally, was nonetheless not a political act but a manifestation of his personal convictions–be that his unwillingness to harm the animal or his intention to please his young son. Lincoln's legacy is often defined by his leadership during the Civil War and his role in bringing to an end the manifest injustice of slavery. However, his compassion towards animals and his personal struggles with mental health add depth to our understanding of him as a leader and a person. They remind us that even in times of great conflict and hardship, empathy and kindness can be powerful guiding principles. In the end, Lincoln's pardon of the Thanksgiving turkeys is more than just a quirky historical footnote. It is a reflection of his character and values, a testament to a president who, despite being engulfed in a war that tore the nation apart, retained a core of compassion and empathy, extending even to the smallest creatures. As we reflect on this story of Abraham Lincoln and the Thanksgiving turkey, it invites us to consider the challenges in our own lives that can give rise to deeper convictions of character. Lincoln's story teaches us that our struggles and trials can be the forge in which our character is tempered and strengthened. So, let us also acknowledge and appreciate the difficulties we face. They are not just obstacles but opportunities to develop a richer, more compassionate perspective towards ourselves and the world around us. Lincoln's life, marked by both profound hardship and profound empathy, serves as a poignant reminder that the challenges we endure can often be the catalysts for cultivating enduring values and principles. So, this Thanksgiving, let's be thankful not only for our blessings but also for the struggles that shape us into stronger, more empathetic individuals, capable of extending our compassion beyond ourselves. Thanksgiving was celebrated in the United States prior to 1864, but it was not formally recognized as a holiday. On what would be his final Thanksgiving, in 1864, President Lincoln formally proclaimed the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving. His address is as follows:A ProclamationIt has pleased Almighty God to prolong our national life another year, defending us with His guardian care against unfriendly designs from abroad and vouchsafing to us in His mercy many and signal victories over the enemy, who is of our own household. It has also pleased our Heavenly Father to favor as well our citizens in their homes as our soldiers in their camps and our sailors on the rivers and seas with unusual health. He has largely augmented our free population by emancipation and by immigration, while He has opened to us new sources of wealth and has crowned the labor of our workingmen in every department of industry with abundant rewards. Moreover, He has been pleased to animate and inspire our minds and hearts with fortitude, courage, and resolution sufficient for the great trial of civil war into which we have been brought by our adherence as a nation to the cause of freedom and humanity, and to afford to us reasonable hopes of an ultimate and happy deliverance from all our dangers and afflictions:Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart the last Thursday in November next as a day which I desire to be observed by all my fellow-citizens, wherever they may then be, as a day of thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God, the beneficent Creator and Ruler of the Universe. And I do further recommend to my fellow-citizens aforesaid that on that occasion they do reverently humble themselves in the dust and from thence offer up penitent and fervent prayers and supplications to the Great Disposer of Events for a return of the inestimable blessings of peace, union, and harmony throughout the land which it has pleased Him to assign as a dwelling place for ourselves and for our posterity throughout all generations.In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.Done at the city of Washington, this 20th day of October, A.D. 1864, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-ninth.ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is at the top of our favorite holiday list! NOTES: Here is Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation. Here is the article about the Mother of Thanksgiving and Abraham Lincoln. RECAP & TAKEAWAYS: Giving thanks is a command from the Lord. And, we have so much to be thankful for! Don't let any opportunity go by without give thanks. Thanksgiving is one Christian idea that mixes with difficulty with the American narrative. Colonialism and imperialism were already present in the earliest thanksgiving. U.S. History with Native Americans does not necessarily reflect Christian values. Abraham Lincoln's proclamation called for contrition and repentance rather than feasting. He, of course, was in the midst of the Civil War. Humility will always become God's people.

In 1863, in the middle of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln was inspired by a woman named Sarah Hale to create the Thanksgiving holiday as a way to unite all U.S. Americans. He gave a proclamation that is still remarkably relevant, now nearly 160 years later. In this video I share an updated version for 2022.Read the proclamation and stay up to date with the Omni-Win Project on Substack: https://omniwin.substack.com/p/thanksgiving-proclamation  Original Thanksgiving proclamation: http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/thanks.htm

Hour 1 of The Drew Mariani Show on 11-23-22 Drew revisits a conversation with author John Cribb on Abe Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation 

In this time of national conflict and division, at the fateful crossroads where we find our country, some reflection and perspective on Thanksgiving is healthy for us all. In this episode, Mike and Kelly discuss the history and meaning of this cherished American holiday with Christian author Penny Noyes. From the time of the Old Testament, to the Pilgrims' celebration in 1621, to the first Thanksgiving Proclamation of George Washington in 1789, to the Civil War-era proclamation of Abraham Lincoln in 1863, until today, the practice of humbling ourselves to actively give thanks to God has been an important part of who we are as a people.  As believers, we are called to nothing less, and as our forefathers understood, as Penny notes, "the command to give thanks is not based on our circumstances but on who God is. We are to thank God in anticipation of what He can do." HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL.
