    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Nov 21, 2010
     | 9,015 views

    The text offers 3 reasons to be thankful. These reasons (unlike so many other) point our worldview toward the Bible, Jehovah, and spiritual.

    Reasons To Be Thankful 2 Corinthians 4:6-18 * Americans are, seemingly, the most blessed people on the globe. Things we take for granted are considered to be luxuries by the many on the globe. For instance, electricity is one of those things we expect to enjoy. To my generation and younger, a ...read more

    Introduction: A. I like the story told of the boxer who went to his corner after getting knocked down in the first round. 1. His trainer patted him on the back and said, “Great round.

    Wouldn't it be great to see things through the eyes of Jesus? Perhaps if we accept the Cheap Songlasses that come with Grace, we could see others differently.
