A Great Prayer for the New Year

Posted on January 3, 2018 by Matt Jury under Jim Elliot

I pray for you, that all your misgivings will be melted to Thanksgivings. Remember that the shadow a thing casts often far exceeds the size of the thing itself. . . Oh that He would restore us often with that “aspect from beyond,” to see a thing as He sees it.

Jim Elliot (1927-1956)

Thanks, the Highest Form of Thought

Posted on November 24, 2016 by Matt Jury under G. K. Chesterton

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

Men do not long continue to think what they have forgotten how to say.

Why Some People Aren’t Thankful

Posted on November 25, 2015 by Matt Jury under Francis Schaeffer

The beginning of men’s rebellion against God was, and is, the lack of a thankful heart.

Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984)

Thankful for All Things

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Matt Jury under Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the small (and yet really not so small!) gifts we receive daily. How can God entrust great things to those who will not gratefully receive the little things from God’s hand?

Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945)

Gratitude and Thanksgiving

Posted on November 27, 2014 by Matt Jury under Ravi Zacharias

The word gratitude may need a little explanation. It comes from the same word as freedom. When something is gratis, we consider it free. Gratitude is the freeing expression of a free heart toward one who freely gave.

Ravi Zacharias (1946- )

Now Thank We All Our God
