Mary E. DeMuth notes a few thoughts on a Christian response to criticism.
- Examine yourself.
- Consider this may be an opportunity for you to experience and show Jesus to a weaker brother.
- Even if things spin out of control and all sorts of people say half-truths about you and your words, rest in Jesus and cherish the deeper fellowship you’ll have with Him.
- Remember that even if you say-act-do everything correctly (in a way that would make God smile), it may not change someone’s heart.
- Believe in God’s sovereignty.
- Don’t let the accusations wet-blanket your passion for serving Jesus.
