Now may the God that gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus. So that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:5-6
As we grow in our faith, God continues to give us perseverance and encouragement so that our voice will glorify God. As a mature Christians our voice should be encouraging and not complaining. There is a song by Taylor Swift called MEAN. It's a story about one person who develops, grows, gets better, and achieves, while the other person is just Mean. Will that be the epitaph for our Christian life? "All they ever were was mean?". It is indeed a sad commentary that a person attends church all their lives and then at the end, they're just mean. When adversity comes our way, are we sweet, trusting the Lord, or are we just mean?
Let's listen to our words. Are we glorifying God and spreading encouragement, or are we just mean?
