Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; (Philippians 2:14-15 KJV)

Do:

• Make it happen
• Be the author of
• Perform a promise
• Commit
• Fulfill

All things without murmuring:

• Muttering
• Complaining
• Grumbling
• Faultfinding
• Querulous discontent

And disputing:

• Inward reasoning
• Inward deliberating
• Questioning
• Doubting

That you may show yourselves to be…

• Blameless and guiltless
• Harmless and innocent
• Free from evil
• Unmixed and uncontaminated
• Pure

children of God without rebuke…

• Blemish
• Faultless
• Unrebukable

in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation [spiritually perverted and perverse], among whom you…

SHINE AS BRIGHT LIGHTS (stars or beacons shining out clearly) in the [dark] world.”

-Philippians 2:14-15
Broken down and torn apart to see what it all really means.  Bottom line…

COMPLAINING DILUTES OUR LIGHT!

My sister and I awoke a little grumbly.   She asked if wanted to do a 30-day “No complaining” challenge.  I immediately agreed.  I have done it before, and it changed the way I talked.  Time for a tune up. 

I enCOURAGE you to not complain for 30 days!
I enCOURAGE you not to murmur for 30 days.
I enCOURAGE you not to dilute your sparkle nor shine.
