I want to remind us all today to not be complainers and faultfinders. Oh man, really we don’t need to be complainers and faultf finders. See, it’s easy to see what’s wrong in a situation. It’s easy to see what could be done better. You know, naturally, we tend to look at the negative. Just our natural minds tend to always gravitate to the negative.
And it causes us to find fault. But we don’t want to be complainers and faultfinders because we know that it doesn’t please God. You know, we’re all guilty of this. I’ll be the first one to raise my hand. Okay? Because sometimes it feels good to complain. You get it off your chest. You’re just venting. It feels good. Why do we complain?

You see, when we give life to these negative thoughts, we create a more negative environment. We not only pollute oursel with this negative environment, but we pollute other people.
We cause them to begin to think negative thoughts. It’s as if it can spread if we’re not careful. No one wants to be around a complainer. No one wants to be around a faultfinder. We don’t either. So, let’s watch what we’re saying. Even though it may feel good for a time, have we ever stopped, stepped back, and thought, “But is it doing us any good?” Is it really doing us any good? You see, I was reading this study and I thought it was very interesting and these researchers were talking about the brain and the effects of the on the brain when we complain and it
