Every November we come together to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends. Our national holiday appears to revolve around food, football, and, of course, the arrival of shopping season. Thanksgiving, sadly, but perhaps not surprisingly, has been hijacked. Thanksgiving has not simply lost its meaning, but it's been so far removed from its original purpose that most Americans have no connection to its beginnings. |

The problem of pain is perhaps the most profound question many of us raise against Christianity. How could a good God—a loving God—allow so much pain and suffering in the world? All God would have to do is move the geological plates a few inches and we wouldn't have tsunamis or earthquakes. All he would have to do is eradicate the cells that attack our bodies and cause cancer and other horrendous diseases. Why doesn't he do those things? Why doesn't God stop it all? How can we trust God, considering how painful life is? How could our pain have any significance? |

Forgetfulness isn't generally something we consider a virtue. Which is why it was an initial surprise to me that, in Isaiah 43, the prophet issues a call to "forget the former things; do not dwell on the past" (Isaiah 43:18 NIV). The Olive Tree Bible Overview in the Bible Gateway Study sidebar provides some helpful context, pointing out that Isaiah 43 is part of what is often considered the second distinct section of the book of Isaiah. This section, which "is a message primarily of comfort and hope to the exiled community of Judah," is comprised of chapters 40-55 and follows the exhortations against idolatry of the early chapters. |
