“Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.” Winston Churchill.
Often times you and I receive criticism (especially my recent facebook post and tweet that was a link about Rob Bell's new book, which was written by Gospel Coalition's, Justin Taylor), but let me encourage you, if you are giving proper criticism by standing for truth, be kind and patient, because when they are lashing out it is out of pain...not usually proper and rational argumentation. Remember, when giving criticism be gentle and delicate because when doing this it is like ripping off a parasite, it is good for them but it is still painful nevertheless. I encourage you to keep giving constructive, truthful criticism, but do so with gentleness as Scripture says that it is a fruit of the Spirit and we are to correct in gentleness as stated in Galatians 6:1.
