"The Greatness of Giving Thanks"

11/22/2017

Here in the Philippines they don't really celebrate Thanksgiving as we do in America. However, some churches like our Emmanuel Baptist Church in Taytay (East Manila), is an exception as they schedule something for Thanksgiving every year on Sunday.

Since Thanksgiving Day here is a work day just like any other, I find myself pressed for time. So, I found what is clearly a solid blog post about giving thanks and its greatness, especially as it pertains to God's Word. I thank the Lord for the people he has placed in my life over time and regularly, like family! I thank the Lord for my precious and beautiful wife and children. Also for those who are faithful friends and give me encouragement along the way.

Here is a link to a post on TGC (The Gospel Coalition)), written by Dr. Kevin DeYoung. It was a good reminder for me. I hope you will enjoy it! Click on the image to go to it.

This is the ministry blog of Robert Thomas Clark, It is designed to be a repository of inspiring, impactful & influential posts on biblical truth, themes and concepts.

I desire nothing more than to exalt Christ and equip others for ministry in exegetical method and expository preaching, even as I serve alongside many of them!.

Life Verse: “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”
--- Colossians 3:17

Inspirational Quote:
“There is no aspect of life but that the gospel has something to say about it. The whole of life must come under its influence because it is all-inclusive; the gospel is meant to govern and control everything in our lives… We must realize the greatness of the gospel, its vast eternal span. We must dwell more on the riches, and in the riches, of these great doctrinal absolutes.”
-- Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
