" DO YOU GRUMBLE/COMPLAIN " ?

Hello All,

It's my prayer and my desire that all is well with you and

those you are responsible for. Know that someone other than

yourself is praying for you, I pray a generic prayer for those

who read "Insights into God's Word ".

OK let's be honest, how often do you feel the need to grumble

and or criticize. Have you ever said to yourself that they are not

doing it right, in other words they are not doing it your way. I'm

sure if my wife of 41 years was asked she might say that I have

grumbled and or complained a time or two.

Grumbling is to complain, to mutter in discontent or whine,

protest or fuss. I'm sure that we all grumble from time to time.

Get this, our lives should be a portrayal of moral purity,

patience, and we should all walk around with a amiable

disposition. The Word of God tells us that we ought to be

" Lights" in a dark and corrupt world. When we argue,

complain, and gossip,we give the world a false impression

of Jesus Christ and the gospel. Belief in Christ should unite

those who trust him. A transformed life is an effective witness

to the power of God's Word.

How often have you heard grumbling in the Church? If your

Local Body (Church) is always complaining and arguing, it lacks

the unifying power of Jesus Christ. Christians, we need to stop

arguing with each other and we must cease complaining about

people and conditions within the church and let the world see

Christ. Are you shining brightly, or are you clouded by

complaining and arguing? Stop grumbling and illuminate for

God.

Until Next Time...
