In everything [en panti] give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thess 5:18).   Some commentators suggest that the Greek words en panti in 1 Thess 5:18 should be always translated “always.” However, that expression means always in only three other NT occurrences.i That is why most translations render en panti as “in everything” (KJV, NKJV, NASB, NET, HCSB, LEB, ISV, DARBY) or “in all circumstances” (NIV, RSV, ESV, CEB) in

Thanksgiving Day After Special Edition

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates continue thoughts from yesterday’s episode about thanksgiving. There is a vital theme in both the Old and New Testaments of remembrance. As Christians, we should have a store of great memories as we reflect on Christ’s redemptive work and on God’s past faithfulness. When it comes to things that cause grief, such as the death of a loved one, there is a difference in being thankful for something and being thankful in it. There is a connection between praising God and thanking God. Please join us for this episode!

We should thank the Lord for everything, for our food, our housing, our jobs, our health, our families, and so forth. Luis is right, of course. As children
