“Easily riled and quick to complain, they could scarcely remember their last rescue long enough to meet their next difficulty. Instead, lacking gospel perspective, the situational cares of the day, like worry over a broken bow, of all things, dominated the things of eternity” (Maxwell, “Lessons from Laman and Lemuel,” 8).
“The adversary whispers the deceptive invitation to murmur to thus destroy the power that comes from obedience” (Workman, “Beware of Murmuring,” 85).
