“Giving Thanks Is a Choice”
Does the Bible address this tension?
What does God say about it?
Is God like our parents/relatives?
Luke 17:11-16 NKJV
Leprosy is like SIN. It is so disruptive and destructive because it separates us from God and others.
Luke 17:17-18 NKJV
God's blessings are Gifts of Grace, not things earned through our Gratitude!
Why give thanks?
1. It keeps us from INDEPENDENT living.
2. It keeps us CONNECTED.
3. It keeps us HUMBLE.
Giving Thanks is Good for Us!
Giving thanks is a choice. It is something we give, not something He takes!
Giving thanks is not an obligation, it is an OPPORTUNITY!
