Topic: Gratitude

When we do not live lives of gratitude, which would actually expand our sense of the world in which we live, God still does not rescind his gifts.

If we can lose ourselves in the worship of Christ, then Christ will come to fill our emptied egos with his own self which now dances in the freedom of God.

The experience of resurrection results in joy and mission.

We voluntarily live a vowed life as a grateful response to God’s saving acts.

The gospel calls us on a road to healing and wholeness, but its steps are so deceptively simple (which doesn’t mean easy) that we often don’t take them seriously and so don’t do them.

Praise and prayer enable us to find our true identify in Christ, and it is as we find out who we are that we find our true strength.

What God has done and is doing is cause for celebration.

Christ’s wish is that all people will respond with thankful joy to his offer of holistic healing and growth – physical, emotional, social.

God will entrust us with more when we have proved trustworthy with what we have been given.

God’s grace is extravagant and should inspire celebration (but often inspires grudging).
