Section 4

never met a sister who did not murmur or a brother who did not reason. The problem of murmurings and reasonings comes out in par­ ticular in married life. For example, a wife may murmur if her husband does not show appreci­ ation of the love and care she has for him. Some brothers have learned that one way to eliminate a wife's murmuring is to use two simple expres­ sions: "I'm sorry" and "thank you." Using these simple expressions can make your married life much happier. If a brother never tells his wife that he is sorry or if he never says thank you, there is apt to be murmuring. If we are success­ ful in eliminating murmurings and reasonings, we shall be blameless and guileless.

CHILDREN OF GOD WITHOUT BLEMISH IN THE MIDST OF A CROOKED AND PERVERTED GENERATION

In Philippians 2:15 Paul also says that the believers are children of God. This implies re­ generation, the new birth. To be a child of God means that we have been born of God, that God has been conceived within us. When we were born of God in our spirit, we were mingled with Him. Conception always precedes birth.
