We mustn’t forget.
We dare not ignore or neglect.
We cannot walk by faith while keeping in step with the world’s stride.
Because a culture that fails or refuses to be thankful is on the downward slope.
Have you noticed? As we loosen our grasp on the sacred, empty or pagan substitutes slip into our sights; then weasel their way into our hands, into our lives, our homes, our hearts.
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. – Colossians 2:6-7
