Respectable Sins – “Unthankfulness”

▪ Respectable Sins – “Unthankfulness”
Though each of us acknowledge that everything we have and are comes from God (i.e., Dt. 8:11-18), we often fail to stop and give God thanks.
▪ Easy to take things for granted
▪ Easy to be ungrateful
▪ Easy to forget how serious of a sin failing to be thankful is to God – Romans 1:18-32 (esp. vs.21)
Some helpful verses on thankfulness
▪ Ephesians 5:20
▪ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 [we can do so by faith in the promise of Romans 8:28]
