"Do all things without complaining and arguing, that you may become blameless and innocent, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world...." (Philippians 2:14, 15)
If you and I, indeed, if the Church desires to be, "blameless and harmless ('without admixture of evil'), then there can be no, "complaining and arguing," among us individuals, and the Church in general.
Our King Jesus Christ still has these Words in our Bibles, and if we want "revival," true growth, not just in number, but in holiness and righteousness, that which enables you and me to, "....shine as lights in the world," then we have no choice but to be, "without complaining and arguing." Woe to the exegete who minimizes such texts!
Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray that I take all Your Words seriously. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
