I felt your passion touched your heart, gives me Lord, gives me Lord.

Welcome back to the Gospel Center Pro-Life Podcast.

Appreciate you guys listening. And as always, we'd appreciate if you guys would share this podcast episode and if you would give us a review, leave us a review on iTunes or however else you get podcast.

We would love to come back to some of the negative reviews that we've had from Pro-Avortion people, although we see that as a badge of honor, we praise God for every time we are persecuted or marginalized for the name of Jesus.

And we try our best to have a good attitude and not to grumble and complain about what people say against us.

Jesus said that if people would, if they hated me, Jesus said that they're going to hate you. And so us being hated and maligned by people is just kind of a natural outflow of our identification with Jesus.

And we're going to talk about that today actually. We did a podcast, hopefully you guys listened to it last week that came out about joy and us having joy on the sidewalk.

Knowing the Lord is what brings joy to us and we can have joy on our faces and joy in our lives and joy in our hearts that is conveyed to the women going in that don't have joy.

They could help us really just be compelling for them to come over and talk with us.

We need to have joy.

We're going to kind of contrast this episode with that episode in a little bit or in some ways because we're going to talk about the title of the article that you wrote here is the dangers and antidote to grumbling inside what ministry.

And I think as a lot of just like our joy topic a lot of our topics, you can you can apply this to any any ministry that we're involved in that we're talking about in this podcast is the set well ministry at abortion centers.

But I think there's dangers and biblical antidotes to grumbling and complaining in any area of ministry or any area of life quite honestly.

Yeah, not just ministry. Yeah, so we're going to talk about the dangers of grumbling and the antidote to grumbling in light of sidewalk ministry.

But again, we can apply this to many areas of life and warnings and rebukes throughout the scriptures about grumbling or I mean gosh.

So so many that we won't be able to touch on all the scriptures where God rebukes even you know, of course the children of Israel about grumbling.

But even the new testament the Bible warns us about grumbling and about complaining.

And so let's jump into it. Vicky, let's talk about grumbling and the dangers of grumbling and the antidote. Yeah, the Bible gives us.

Well, I think a great place to start is the verse, Philippians to 14 do all things without grumbling or disputing.

And that's a really important verse. It says do all things with without grumbling or disputing and we're in a difficult ministry.
