Philippians 2:14-15 (NKJV) 14 Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…<\/p>\n

Complainers. Grumblers. Fault finders.<\/p>\n

We all know one (or more) of them. Maybe we are<\/i> one of them.<\/p>\n

As a follower of Christ, perpetual complaining isn’t something we should be engaging in. If we are<\/i>, it’s usually an indication of a problem with the way we look at things or a problem with our walk with God.<\/p>\n

The book of Jude (Jude 1:14-16) groups complainers and grumblers in together with the ungodly. So if we’re a believer and we’re a complainer or grumbler, we’re in need of some help!<\/p>\n

The verses above tell us that we are to become blameless and harmless, without fault and we are to be beacons of light in a dark world. But if we’re complaining, we are spreading darkness, not light.<\/p>\n

I remember many years ago, I used to work in a factory with a guy who complained a lot. And I mean a LOT! I liked him. He was a really good guy, but his complaining got to me sometimes. Being around him made you feel terrible after a while.<\/p>\n

I got tired of hearing it and wished he would say something good. Many times I would try to steer the conversation to things that were more positive. I did my best to try to bring light into the conversations, instead of letting darkness have dominion.<\/p>\n

And so should we be like this every day, speaking words that encourage and inspire people. Words that show people the good<\/i> things in life and in the world. And words that shine God’s light where it is so badly needed.<\/p>\n

Let’s let God show us how to be blameless, faultless and shining lights into a dark generation.<\/p>\n
