GETTING A GRIP ON YOUR GRIPES
Part III
Philippians 2:14-18
You know it's people and our relationships with people and what
they do to us that often gets us into kind of a griping mode.
Have you ever noticed that? The song that Justin sang tonight
is quite appropriate because if we are going to learn exactly
how to get a handle on our attitude it will come in the scenario

joy in your life and stalemate you in a forward progression in

about how to get a grip on your gripes, how to do some gripe
control. The scripture says in Philippians 2:14 right there in
front of you, it says:
"Do everything without complaining or arguing,"
Let's stop there. The scripture says do everything, not a
couple of things but everything without arguing or complaining,

that you have as a parent, don't gripe about it. As an
employee, if there is something that you need to do, don't gripe
about it, maybe there is a ministry objective for you to
accomplish that God has for you even within the body of Christ.
