Why are we complaining?

Philippians 2:1-18 (Please read this passage first)

So the time that I have spent here at Crown I have heard, many times over, people have complained over and over… about all sorts of stuff; the food sucks, they require too many chapels, it costs too much, Crown sucks (my favorite). Why are we as Christians doing this?! I mean seriously! We, as American Christians, are blessed more then most people dream bout! We are going to school, we have three hot meals per day, and we have houses that hold heat and don’t leak! There are plenty of people even here in the cities that would like to have those things! So why do we complain bout it!? There is a calling for us Christians to be “like-minded” to Christ! Are we?! “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” (3-4) We are called take care of our interests and the interests of other’s. It doesn’t say anything bout taking care of our Desires! That is God’s job. (Psalms 37:4) So what should we do? “Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life” (14-16a) We are called not to complain, so why are we?!

All I ask is that you consider what I said. Meditate on the scripture, because though I maybe full of faults, the scripture is not.
Ps. So, there maybe just causes behind the complaints that you have, but here is my question for you! What are you doing to make a difference? If you’re not doing something, then shut up!!!
