Men and women of God who would not even think of gambling, drinking, or committing
some act of fleshly evil, may otherwise be guilty of a sour disposition, with an envious,
bitter or negative frame of mind. One may be able to quote scripture, pray fervently and
attain an unblemished attendance record at worship service, yet possess such a critical
and negative attitude about life that others actually wish to avoid them! The sin of a bad
attitude can cripple if not kill the progress of the Lord’s church. A weak brother may have
the foulest, most profane tongue of anyone in town, and the church leadership would not
want him to serve publicly in the worship service – and rightly so! But, if a brother
possesses a sour spirit and is known to be a habitual discourager of others, shall he serve
in the assembly? Brethren, each of us has a duty to show ourselves true servants of God
and be of good cheer!
