I want to say up front that this is not pointed at anyone here..i write these short essays on the forums that i moderate and thought i would share one now and then if you would like..
Grumbling is an all too common sin among Christians, and some never quite complaining..they are skilled at finding something wrong with anybody who is trying to serve the Lord..I think of the family on the way home after church..the father said, well the preacher preached too long, the mother said well the choir was out of tune, the little girl said, well the piano was too loud..then the little boy spoke up and said, well what did you expect for a quarter.
you see they are not blessed because they do nothing for the cause of Christ and bellyache about everyone that does..but ya know my friends there is a cure for all this bellyaching, and that is Christian love toward one another..God bless those on this forum that show that love..I know it is easy to talk about it but difficult to practise..Paul in his writing to the church in corinth says.
"4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;" 1 Corin 13:4-5 KJV.
so if we love the Lord and depend on him, we must show that love to one another..the next time you feel like finding fault with another just stop and look for a way to help that person..if we do this all the time we will cure ourselves of our bellyaching.amen.
Don't find fault, find a remedy..
God Bless you all and have a great week and tell someone about JESUS!
Bellyaching and it's Cure
