Don't Ever Complain

Just wanted to share some words from a sermon about complaining from John MacArthur. Thought it was too convicting & good not to share this!

"So Paul is saying...Look, in working out your salvation the basic attitude is an attitude that does not complain. Why? You're living in a very fallen world. You're living in the fallen flesh. It isn't always going to be the way you like it, the people around you aren't always going to be the way you'd like them. The circumstances aren't always going to be euphoric and perfect. It's not going to be an idealistic world. You work out your salvation and in ALL the things that you do and in ALL the circumstances you find yourself, don't ever complain......James even speaks about it, chapter 5, isn't it, verse 9, "Do not complain, brethren, do not complain against one another that you yourselves may not be judged, behold, the judge is standing right at the door." You know what the picture is? It's like a little kid in his room, a little brother talking to his sister, and he's saying, "Boy, I hate the way Mom handles us, I hate the way Dad does..." and what he doesn't know is Dad is standing at the door. And when you're belly-aching and complaining to God about how it is and how your life is and how your kids are and how your circumstances are and how this and how that, just know that the Lord who hates complaining is standing at the door. Serious sin...serious sin...."
