"You cannot have thankfulness & hatefulness in your heart at the same time." - Min. Trevor Banks 😮‍💨

Main message: You cannot genuinely thank God while harming, oppressing, or removing support from God's people; true thanksgiving requires justice and care for the community. Hypocrisy—public gratitude paired with harmful actions—nullifies any claim to thankfulness.

Key points:

• Taking away benefits or rights from a community contradicts thanking God.
• Oppressing or suppressing a community prevents its success despite expressions of gratitude.
• Symbolic gestures of thankfulness (banners, words) are meaningless if actions are harmful.
• True thankfulness cannot coexist with hatefulness or injustice in the heart.
