Gratitude: Express Thanks on a Daily Basis

"Gratitude is the best barometer to measure a church."

From Aaron's sermon yesterday three keys to acting more like the one than the nine in Luke 17: 11-19.

  1. Remember God gave us everything we have.
  2. Make positive comparisons. Help those less fortunate.
  3. Avoid complaining and grumbling.
Key observation from Aaron: "Our thankfulness and gratitude contain saving power."

Philippians 2: 14-15

14Do everything readily and cheerfully--no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! 15Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night (The Message)

14Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe (NIV)
