Give Thanks

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 19, 2006

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.

(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

"Life Has Purpose!" Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Mar 7, 2016
