About this listen
Spurgeon once said that many church members are like a neighbor’s pigs “all grunt and no bacon” and sadly the description fits far too many: believers whose contribution to Christ’s Kingdom is little more than a sour complaint. One pastor even lamented that a certain member was such a roadblock that if he joined the devil’s church, hell itself would start to crumble. Instead of manifesting the fruit of the Spirit love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance some Christians offer nothing but criticism and grumbling, though Scripture never lists grunting as a spiritual virtue. And if someone thinks the problem is their pastor, the answer is not more grumbling but more grace: show love, thoughtfulness, and help the shock might kill him, but the change will do you good.
