    Give Thanks

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 19, 2006

     | 9,063 views

    We cannot give thanks FOR all circumstances but we can IN all circumstances. God has a purpose in every storm, shipwreck, tragedy, disease, or whatever that comes upon His children. Giving thanks to God is meant for our good; it enriches our life.

    Paul was a man who suffered a great deal of pain and yet wrote, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (I Thess 5: 16-18). For Paul to give us such an advice is amazing. • It shows that a Christian can give thanks ...read more

    *(Revised: December 2010) Paul exhorts us not to rest on our laurels, but to keep improving on what we are doing as a church. (Can also be used as a "farewell" message for Pastors leaving their church)
