Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world.
Philippians 2:14-15
One of the most basic teachings of Jesus is our charge to be "The Light of the World." When we hide it under a bushel, or let Satan blow it out, we fail to meet the challenge. Throughout history the number one way God's people have hidden their light was by complaining. Grumbling and complaining kept Israel out of the promised land, and it continues to "poison our water" too. God knows this world needs light. Do we know it? It is channeled through our lives or it doesn't get here at all.
