Enough of Contempt: Gratitude is Essential for Participation in Christian Life

from Prone to Wander: A Presbyterian Podcast · host Lea

Why does Scripture constantly call us to gratitude? To remember God and all he has done for us? Why is the Eucharist (communion) a "thanksgiving" that we receive rather than give? Because the opposite of thankfulness is contempt, disdain, scoffing, ridicule, mockery, arrogance, and insecurity. Over and over Scripture warns us against this attitude of ingratitude that isolates us from both God and our fellow man. You cannot receive the blessings of God if you're looking down your nose at them.Referenced: Polyeleos: Traditional Hymn of Thanksgiving based on Psalm 135
