That is the problem is that when instead of you know being truly thankful to God on this holiday I don't think there's anything wrong with watching football, but if that's your main focus for Thanksgiving, you're wrong If your main focus is to mark the beginning of the holiday shopping season, you're wrong Do you think God is pleased with that? He's not pleased with that at all If you're focusing and being idolatrous towards some football team and that's all you care about That's the only thing you care about on Thanksgiving. You're not right with God Now It should be celebrated with family. It should be celebrated with friends It should be something that you thank God for and God gives us many wonderful things and wonderful benefits and he's truly Amazing to us and he's better to us than we really deserve and let's be honest. So This holiday has turned into nothing more than an idolatrous gluttonous Gluttonous covetousness in this country and you know, even Christmas is ruined, you know Christmas there They're talking about Santa Claus. Who's that? Not real. Okay, Santa Claus is fake. He's phony and you know, it's just trying to take the place of Jesus Right. He don't know when you're sleeping. He don't know when you're awake because he doesn't exist So God knows when you're sleeping though. God knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good too, right? But anyway So instead of being thankful to God for goodness and mercy and provision people are thankful for sports heroes teams People are thankful that they can stand in line all night to get some stupid piece of junk television You know that is just gonna defile their mind even further. It's like here Let me defile your mind in ultra ultra ultra ultra HD, you know, so get the 72 incher, you know Make sure that everything is covered all parts of your your ears and your your eyes are defiled So turn to Romans chapter 1 Romans chapter 1 Romans chapter 1 verse 20 says for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen Being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and God had so they're without Excuse so you should be able to look just at creation in general and realize that there's a creator. I mean, they're without excuse Even if they don't hear about Jesus, they're still without excuse the Bible says Verse 21 says because that when they knew God they glorified him not as God Neither were thankful but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened So why what is one of the reasons they were not thankful and so if we have a nation of people that are not Truly thankful to God, you know, it said the Bible says they became vain in their imaginations They're foolish heart was dark. Do you want to have a foolish darkened heart? You want to be a god-hating?
