- Teaching – the imparting of positive truth with the intention of influencing understanding
- Admonishing – influencing to action with a warning, caution, a gentle reproof.
- Singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs
- With thankfulness
- Thankfulness is the salve of broken hearts
- Thankfulness is the thing that cleanses, renews, and changes our negative and hopeless thoughts
- Thankfulness resets our direction when we are being pulled into the muck and mire of this world system
-
- Followers of Jesus – And then we are to do everything we do in the light of who we are:

-
- We are the children of God
- We are His body
- Our entire identity is in Him
- So, it makes sense to do everything for Him
- Giving thanks…Eucharisteo is a word that at its very core (eu=good + charis = grace) means to acknowledge how good grace is!
