Some stores have become so accustomed to complaining that they have Complaint Departments!  I feel bad for those who have to work there every day. Who do they complain to? Complaining is so entwined in our culture that we don’t even see it as sin anymore. Sin!? Who said anything about complaining being sin?    Moses seems to have implied it in Exodus 16 when he said, “You are not grumbling against us, but against the LORD…because He has heard your grumbling against Him.” Our passage for Sunday is Philippians 2, Paul wrote, “Do everything without complaining or arguing.” Does this mean we should never express when something is not right? Does this mean we should never bring up problems? Does this mean we should all be “wall-flowers?” We’ll talk about it more on Sunday. I’ll give you this to think about; why do we complain? Is the customer always right? What drives the cultural “right to complain?” How does complaining affect our mission? The English word complain means “to express dissatisfaction or annoyance about something.” Are there constructive ways to do that? This is a bigger deal than we may realize.  If you are unhappy with this blog, please address your complaints to 800-TRY-.
