Okay, so criticism. Let’s talk about it.
It’s to be expected (hopefully in a healthy way) in the workplace.
Mutual respect and love should be the foundation of it in our homes.
But what about in the Church?
Right now in the Christian Church, there are countless points of criticism and arguing and, frankly, they seem pretty silly.
There are things dividing us that aren’t elevating or fighting for the Gospel. In reality, these arguments/criticisms are elevating our own personal thoughts and opinions.
What’s the danger of criticism? The division it causes within the Church and the damage it does to the testimony of the Church to the outside, watching world.
Paul wrote a letter about it in Romans 14. In this week’s bonus Patreon Workshop, Somer takes time to deep dive into what Paul wrote. She’s tackling how to keep the Gospel the main thing amidst diverse opinions and convictions. And make sure to watch until the end for permission to love each other well EVEN when you don’t agree with each other.
This is one you’ll take notes on – grab your favorite pen (we know you have one) and notebook. We’ll see you over there.
