Listening to a message yesterday, and rereading this scripture, speaks very clearly. Philippians 2:14-16.... It is so clear, and tells us to do everything without complaining or arguing. That we would be without fault in a crooked and depraved generation. For us to shine like stars in the universe as we hold out the word of life.
We could see that 2000 years ago, how the apostle's saw that it was a crooked and a depraved generation then. Fast forward, we could see that it's not any better now. If anything, it's worse. But we are told what to do. Not to complain and argue. Romans 8: 30, To be set apart for His use. To shine like stars. Hold out the word of life, Jesus Christ.
Belief in Jesus Christ should unite us who trust him. If we are always complaining and arguing like everyone else, we lack the unifying power of Jesus Christ. We don't look any different than the ones complaining. Why would they be attracked to Jesus if we look and sound no different. So just like my little granddaughter sang to me her new song that she learned in church, I say, " This little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine."
Thank you my family, for raising my grandchildren in the way they should go. It's not getting any easier. If you don't teach them God's way, the world will teach them the crooked depraved way.
Live for His glory
Shine His light of love
