Gratitude Comes From Attitude

Contributed by Ezekiel Ette on Nov 18, 2017

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 16, 2016

Distinguished By Gratitude: The Instinct Of Thanksgiving Series

Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on Aug 19, 2017

The enemy of exceptionality is ordinary. Ordinary people never go beyond the common denominator. This is the story of how thanksgiving distinguished a leper, making him exceptional. Thanksgiving comes naturally or instinctively to those who know how to think. This is the instinct of thanksgiving.

The Seriousness Of Forgiveness

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 16, 2018

We are told to forgive because God forgave us. We can do that when we take off the old garments of bitterness and anger and replace them with love, compassion and humility. Today we'll see Jesus communicating how serious forgiving others is.

THE SERIOUSNESS OF FORGIVENESS Last week we looked into the subject of forgiveness. I started by saying we first had to answer the question of whether or not we want to forgive. And if we do we need to determine how to go about it. We looked at Paul's words in Eph., and Col. and saw that we are ...read more

A Grateful Heart Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

Charles E. Jefferson said, "If Christians would praise God more the world would doubt Him less." Let us admit it that we seldom make it known how grateful we are to be Christians by our praise of God and thanksgiving before the world.

Thanksgiving is unconditional for the believer. We are not to be thankful only because of blessings, but even in spite of burdens, for life at its worst does not change the most precious truth for which we are to be thankful, and that is salvation through Jesus. There have been Christian people ...read more
