“When praises go up, blessings come down.” While we can certainly experience the blessing of God when we praise God, that CANNOT be the reason WHY we praise Him. That’s a backwards understanding of the goodness of God. We can’t expect blessings because of our works. Pastor Bill will remind us that the number one thing that we need to thank God for is the giving of His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. If God never does another thing in your life, He has given you His Son.
