"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all cirumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil." I Thessalonians 5:16-22
"The quenching of the Spirit is connected to the command to 'in everything give thanks.' 'Always giving thanks' is a result of being 'filled with the Spirit.'" ~Pastor Bob Kosbau
Here's the second sermon in Pastor Bob's series on gratitude.
