The Apostle Paul writes, "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy" (2 Tim. 3:1-2). As the end times draw nearer, one of the prevailing characteristics of our declining society will be ungratefulness. As the people of God, we are to be characterized by a thankful heart.
