    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 9, 2022
     | 5,485 views

    A thermometer tells how hot or cold something or someone is. It doesn’t try to change its environment. A thermostat, on the other hand, alters the temperature. Christians should be thermostats, changing their neighborhoods, families, work, etc.

    Complaining is so common these days. People like to complain about everything. Did you realize that complaining is directed at God, who has control over our circumstances? That is why complaining can be a serious sin.

    All over the world people have traditions of throwing out the old and bringing in the new. It's a scriptural practice -- 2 Cor. 5:17. We need to have DEEP SORROW for sin, to UTTERLY FORSAKE our sins, and to TRUST IN JESUS for pardon.
