| This article, "Of Devils And Demons," started out as a response to an inquiry asked by one of our readers. The inquiry, which is quoted below in its entirety, reflects a real concern on the part of many people across the country today, as I am frequently asked questions similar to the ones that follow. In attempting to answer the inquiry, I soon realized that I could not just give a brief answer that would be satisfactory. There are other issues involved in the answering of this inquiry that I believe to be of equal or greater importance than the answer to the inquiry itself--issues that should be raised and answers that should be given. As a result, what was intended to be just an answer to a simple inquiry developed into a complete article.

| If you are one of the multitude "which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues" (Revelation 7:9) who worship the God of Israel, do you also need to study Hebrew? You are not one of the 144,000 (Revelation 7:4) of the twelve tribes of Israel that the Revelator saw in his vision, nor are you descended from those among whom the Word of God came, originally spoken in the Hebrew language. Neither did your ancestors likely hear Paul speaking to them "in the Hebrew language" in ancient Jerusalem (Acts 21:40;22.2); nor would they have understood it if Jesus had spoken to them in that language, as he did to Paul on the road to Damascus
(Acts26:14).

| The many songs of praise found in the Old Testament, notably in the Psalms, give abundant evidence that praise formed a significant part of Hebrew worship. Praise is equally important in our Christian experience; indeed, it is part of the rich heritage of the Jewish roots of our faith. Too often, however, we do not understand praise in its full biblical expressions.

| What is the first Scripture verse normally taught to a young child in a Christian home today? Though polls are unavailable on this question, it would not be difficult to venture several possible answers. Many families choose to teach that popular text, "For God so loved the world..." (John 3:16). Others want children to know, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved..." (Acts 16:31). Yet other homes are content to succinctly stress, "Love one another" (John 13:34).

| The Thanksgiving holiday creates many images for us, from Pilgrims and Indians sitting down together at a table and giving thanks to God to football games and colorful parades. In essence, the holiday is a special time for family togetherness, which provides an opportunity for expressing gratitude to God for His goodness and blessings. However, it is often forgotten that in the daily life of Jesus and His disciples, thanksgiving and blessing were an integral part of their everyday experience and customary practice. Reflected both in early Jewish literature and in the daily liturgy of the synagogue from Bible times to modern, it is a fact that the Jewish people have made giving thanks a significant part of every aspect of daily life.
