I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in the United States.

because of the profound blessings we have in Jesus Christ.

John MacArthur has a timely message today on Grace To You,

titled, In Everything Give Thanks, helping you see the many, many reasons you have to give thanks,

no matter what you're facing today or what you might face in the future.
