Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.(Philippians 2:14-16)
We may not say it out loud very often, but the quiet whispers and bitter mumblings can keep us from serving the Lord as we should. It can certainly taint our influence in the world. Paul warns the Philippian church to be sure that their testimony is blameless. There is enough dissention in the world . . . enough hatred and jealousy. There should not be within the church. We are to be one body, working together to serve others and bring glory to our Father. This certainly cannot happen if there any fissures within our ministries.
We need to remember that we are lights to this darkening world (Matthew 5:14)therefore we must reflect the attitude and servitude of Jesus Christ!
