“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:14-18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because Paul says, “so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.” Are we becoming disciples or disciple makers? Are we about making ourselves “better” or helping others know Jesus? If I’m tempted to grumble, I’m probably focused on me, but when I’m focused on Christ, it’s tough not to be grateful. Please pray that we and our friends shine as lights in the world and not run in vain. Please pray for Christians to understand how “social justice” isn’t justice of the Bible.
