Section 2
expressions based on Paul's word to the Philip pians to stir in others the desire to experience the Lord in their spirit. It is very important that we bring these extraordinary spiritual expres sions into our daily conversation, prayer, fellow ship, and testimonies in the church meetings. This will serve to enrich our utterance.
DOING ALL THINGS WITHOUT MURMURINGS
AND REASONINGS
In Philippians 2:14 Paul issues a warning: "Do all things without murmurings and reasonings." Both murmurings and reasonings frustrate us from carrying out our salvation to the fullest ex tent, from experiencing Christ to the uttermost.
The context indicates that if we murmur or reason, we do not obey. Obedience to God slays all murmurings and reasonings. In order to work out our salvation, we must obey the very God who operates in us. He Himself is our salva tion, and our obedience to Him is the working out of our salvation. The sisters need to realize that when they murmur, they disobey the God who works within them. Likewise, the brothers need to see that whenever they reason, they are rebellious against the One who operates in them.
