1TH23 Give Thanks: This is the Will of God

Can one of the greatest sins of the 21st. Century Church be that of thanklessness? If so, what does Paul mean when he calls for the Church to be thankful and enforces this injunction with the same purpose clause he uses for abstaining from sexual immorality. We should see the work of giving thanks as important as being sexually pure. Two ideas today we do not connect together but Paul does.
