Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the United States. It is a great day to celebrate with family, and enjoy great food, and for many, a day of watching NFL football!
For the follower of Jesus, everyday of the year is a day of thanksgiving! Consider a couple of verses to ponder:
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name” (Psalm 100.4)
“…give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5.17).
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.”
~ Psalm 100.4
“Prayer should not be regarded as a duty which must be performed, but rather as a privilege to be enjoyed.”
~ E.M. Bounds
‘God’s bringing down walls’: Weeks-long revival sparks church remodel as hundreds flock to worship.
After years of steady decline, Americans are rediscovering the Bible — and young adults are leading the way.
New findings from Barna’s State of the Church 2025 report, produced in partnership with Gloo, reveal a national rebound in weekly Bible reading.
The report finds that 42% of US adults now say they read Scripture weekly — up 12 points from a record low of 30% in 2024.
That figure rises to 50% among self-identified Christians, marking the highest level in more than 10 years.
Millennials and Gen Z adults are at the heart of this turnaround. Barna’s data shows that Millennials have seen a 16-point rise since 2024, with 50% reporting that they read the Bible weekly.
Boston, MA (Oct. 28, 2025) – In a bold move toward what organizers are calling a “next Great Spiritual Awakening,” the AWAKE America movement in partnership with Boston-area churches held its first city-wide rally in Boston on October 24-25 at the historic Tremont Temple Baptist Church (88 Tremont St., Boston, MA). The gathering united students, seekers and believers from across denominational lines for worship, preaching and prayer.
Revival in a Secular City
Boston has long been considered one of America’s most secular major metros. According to a recent analysis, fewer than one in four adults in the Greater Boston area say religion plays a “very important” role in their lives, down from 36% a decade ago. That context frames the urgency behind AWAKE America’s strategy.
“We’re praying God will do it again,” said Dr. Michael Youssef, founder of AWAKE America. “Nearly 300 years ago, the First Great Awakening swept through Boston. It began in the church and turned into a nationwide awakening. We’re praying God will do it again.”
