No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 Phil 2:12-16

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 Working Out Your Own Salvation With Fear & Trembling v. 12 #1 Letting God Work In You v. 13#2 Doing All Things Without Grumbling & Disputing v. 14 #3

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 No Grumbling…  Some translations have “murmuring”  “Half-suppressed complaint; complaint in low mumbling tones” [Webster]  “Muttering; secret displeasure not openly avowed” [Thayer]

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 No Grumbling…  When was the last time a “grumbler” took seriously something he was involved in while complaining?  Israel grumbled 1 Cor 10:5, Ex 15:24 16:2-3 17:3 Num 11:1-6 14:1-3 16:1-50 (v. 41)

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 No Grumbling…  Unfaithful brethren are characterized as “murmurers” Jude 4, 16-19

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 …But Contentment & Thankfulness  If Christians want to shine, they should be contented people Phil 4:11  Grumbling needs to be replaced with thankfulness Col 2:6-7 4:2 Eph 5:20  Spiritual blessings Eph 1:3-14  Physical blessings

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 No Disputing…  This word can have various meanings in the N.T. Acts 9:29 15:2  Our chosen context indicates something untoward, undesirable  It is not to be found among those whose desire it is to “shine as lights in the world”

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 No Disputing… “To deliberate or question; hesitation or doubting; intellectual rebellion against God” [Thayer]

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 No Disputing…  Disputations over personal convictions Rom 14:1  Strife over selfish ambitions 1 Cor 12:25  Divisive wrangling over words 1 Tim 6:3-5 Titus 3:9-10

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 …But Unity  Unity should characterize Christians who work together Phil 2:2-3  Try fitting in “disputings” in Jn 17:20-23  The Lord wants the world to believe in Him through His disciples who are unified upon His word

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 …But Unity  Therefore, saints must learn to…  …be gentle & patient in teaching others 2 Tim 2:23-26  …forego personal liberties 1 Cor 6:6-7  …patiently forgive others Col 3:12-15

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 Conclusion  The “sway” Satan has over this world is characterized by grumblers & disputings  People typically not satisfied nor grateful  Among them we must “shine as lights”  Grumbling must give way to thankfulness  Disputing must give way to true unity

No Grumbling & Disputing Phil 2:14 Conclusion  When saints shine as their Father expects them among grumblers & disputers…  …hopefully we can lead them out of darkness and into the light  …hopefully we can also show them a better way to live
