Overcoming Ingratitude
Ingratitude Is a Sin

• But know this, that in the last days perilous
  times will come For men will be lovers of
  themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud,
  blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
  unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers,
  without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
  traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure
  rather than lovers of God, having a form of
  godliness but denying its power. And from such
  people turn away! (2 Timothy 31-5)

Overcoming Ingratitude
Ingratitude Is a Sin

• Because what may be known of God is manifest in
  them, for God has shown it to them. For since the
  creation of the world His invisible attributes
  are clearly seen, being understood by the things
  that are made, even His eternal power and
  Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
  because, although they knew God, they did not
  glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became
  futile in their thoughts, and their foolish
  hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they
  became fools. (Romans 119-22)
