Philippians 2:14–Don't Grumble or Dispute with One Another in Christ

Philippians 2:14–"Do all things without grumbling or disputing..."

At the onset, this verse is speaking specifically to Christian engaged in the fellowship of a local congregation.  And even though I've only taken aside the very first portion of this passage, it is indeed profound and convicting.  In a sense, this is precisely its intention, though.  Paul, being inspired by the Holy Spirit, is exhorting believers to live a certain way, a holy way.  This element, of doing things without grumbling or dispute, is one of the essential components to the new community that Christians are to exhibit on earth.  No longer are we to fall back on fleshly passions or whim, but we are called to live life differently.  Let us never forget that!
