Volume 1 Post/Email 3 – Philippians 2:14
Have you ever struggled to have a positive attitude?
Have you ever failed to bite your tongue?
Yes, even good-hearted, well-intentioned Christians can be tempted and led into sinful attitudes and conversations.
James warns Christians in 1:27 to keep from being polluted by the world.
None of us are immune from the pollution in the world, including toxic thoughts, toxic attitudes, and corrosive, divisive, hurtful and poisonous words.
In Philippians 2:14 Paul writes, “Do everything without complaining or arguing.”
One way we impact people every day is by our attitude and conversations. Paul exhorts us to refrain from the negative activity of complaining to people or fighting word battles with others.
This verse can be a focus and priority this week to let God use us in positive ways by the simple daily activities of talking and interacting with others.
