College Notes of David Reagan as taught in Scripture Baptist College. These notes cover the doctrine of the Bible.
Perhaps the most prevalent sin of the Christian today is that of complaining. It is in our nature. How many things have we murmured or complained about today and we were not even conscious of it? In our heart we have strategically placed complaining as one of the smaller sins or perhaps not even sin at all. God, however, has a different outlook on the matter and we would do well to adopt God’s viewpoint versus our own. God tells us in His word “And having food and raiment let us be therewith content”, and in another place He says “and be ye thankful”. Complaining is not so. As such we ought to learn what the scriptures say about complaining and take heed to its warnings.
The Lord sees all, but most importantly He sees us as individuals.

Did Jephthah sacrifice his daughter? In what ways are things getting worse for Israel? Why?
