Friday, July 25, 2008 ( Responding To Criticism @ 10:23 PM ) read: 1 peter 2:4-12 From the verses: -As christians, we are like living stones and chosen people by God. -For this reason, we may declare the praises of God who called us out of darkness and into his wonderful light. -We should abstain from any sinful desires. -Live good lives among people, so that though they may acuse you of wrong doings, they will see your good deeds on the day when God visits us. Story: Abraham Lincoln knew what it meant to face criticism. He is quoted as saying, "If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attackes made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any business. I do the very best i know how-the very best I can; and i mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what's said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference. Lincoln, against huge opposition, went on to reunite the fractured United States, win the civil war, and abolish slavery in the US. Had he allowed his critics to defeat him, Lincoln would not have accomplished what he did. The apostle Peter understood the dangers of unfounded criticism. He wrote, " Having your conduct honourable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God" (1 peter 2:12) Main point: Criticism can consume our lives to the point of emotional paralysis, or we can set our hearts to serve God faithfully undeterred by that criticism and put our God on display. When we do that, we won't need to answer our critics with words-our lives will say all that is needed.--Bill Crowder Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, Thank you for giving us energy everyday. I pray that you will help us to learn how to cope with criticism by others, and also to lead a powerful testimony so that through our good deeds, we may glorify you. I pray that you can help us to stay focus on your word, that everything we do we would pray and ask you. Thank God for everything. In jesus name, amen. 0 comments |
