This is different from the world’s definition which emphasizes gratefulness for something that is received as clearly benefiting the recipient. Yet biblical gratitude is a positive response to experiencing God’s goodness and grace, in both the good and difficult realities of life. This is reinforce...

Our English word ‘church’ comes not from the Gr...
