Here is a special article you'll want to read! EDITOR'S NOTE: One of the most common SINS among God's people has always been griping, complaining - called "murmuring" in the Bible. This attitude of criticizing, finding fault, grumbling, is negative, unspiritual, and is a disease that produces unhappiness and loss of faith in the perpetrator, and great annoyance to others who hear it. The cure is to set your mind in the opposite mood - that of GRATITUDE. Perhaps the most common sin in professing Christians is ingratitude - failure to be thankful - to count one's blessings. When the children of Judah, without any weapons, began to march directly toward the onrushing three allied armies, just singing PRAISES TO GOD, the God they were praising began to win the battle for them. I have known many to be healed when they began to thank and praise God for it in advance. Count your blessings - get your mind on them - they are more and greater than you probably realize. This is the recipe for overcoming griping, and for finding happiness. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
