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.
