Philip 2:11 Every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  • If the whole world were like Rexburg, ID, I have a feeling it would be described in a manner similar to the scripture above.


14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings;
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world

  • Specifically, verse 14 is talking about doing the Lord's will without murmurings and disputings. Disputations are of the adversary; when rebuke, anger or frustration begin to fill the mind and heart, there is no room for the Holy Ghost. 
  • In addition to disputations with others, it is equally important that there are no disputations within ourselves. We should not doubt truth, and we should argue back and forth with ourselves over what is right vs wrong. We need to trust in the Lord and follow the Spirit. 
  • When we agree with our adversary and put aside petty differences, there is a difference in our countenance and spirit.
