How to Take Criticism

One of the most difficult lessons for Christians to learn is how to take criticism. The natural reaction is one either of resentment and desire to lash back, or else one of discouragement and quitting. Neither is honoring to the Lord.
How to Handle a Multitude of Sins
Nov 24
There is an old familiar cliché to the effect that we should “hate the sin, but love the sinner.” This may sound a bit trite because of over-use, but it is nevertheless both Biblical and practical. It is easy and tempting to be critical and condemnatory toward someone who has sinned, (especially if the sin has affected us directly), but such an attitude seldom, if ever, produces repentance on the part of the sinner. As the above proverb reminds us, it will more likely generate an angry, defensive response and further strife.
