CRITICISM - Who me?


Criticism. Sometimes we don't take it very well. When criticized, it can anger us, driving us into a defensive display of snarkiness and spastic reactions. Think about it. Humorous, yes, but indeed true. But what does the Bible have to say about criticism? Quite a bit. When we agree that criticism can be helpful, we dub it "constructive criticism".

Proverbs 15:31-32 says:

"If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. If you reject criticism, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding." NLT
