Title: Stop Your Griping and Complaining!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Scripture: Numbers 11-27<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cDo everything without complaining and arguing (some translations us \u201cdisputing\u201d), so that no
\none can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a
\nworld full of crooked and perverse people.\u201d Phil. 2:14-15<\/p>\n

I.\u00a0 \u00a0WHEN IT SEEMS THAT\u2019S ALL YOU DO<\/span><\/h4>\n

\nto question the goodness and faithfulness of God.\u201d {PDT-February 16)<\/p>\n
