Rabbit Trail: Ethical Thankfulness

Published on: 1st February, 2025

Is there an ethical way to be thankful?

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. In today's Rabbit Trail, I recap my thankfulness sermons from November and ask the big question, can thankfulness continue to be thankfulness if you get something out of it? After recapping my sermons on Luke 18:9-14 and Psalm 138, I work it out defending the idea that having hope restored in your current situation is an ethical way that thankfulness can play out. I also introduce my purpose for thankfulness; Thankfulness is not a weapon of pride to knock others down, but a tool of humility to build other up, bring glory to God, and restore hope to our current situtions.

About the Podcast

My Seminary Life
My Seminary Life began as a way for my to chronicle my journey through finishing my Masters degree. After graduation, I began to turn my attention towards subjects that interest me or I was not required to take a class on in Seminary. I consider myself a life-long student, so even if I am not in a classroom environment, there is always something I am studying or learning about. My Seminary Life is the place where I keep those records of what I'm learning. If you're interested in people like CS Lewis and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, or in subjects like Homiletics and Cults, then you have come to the right place.
