UNKIND CRITICISM Morning Q “Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, & being nothing” (Aristotle). Let our responses display maturity & educate. George Whitefield (1714-1770) once responded to a very critical letter: “I thank you heartily for your letter. As for what you & my other enemies are saying against me, I know worse things about myself than you will ever say about me. With love in Christ, [G.W.]” Unkind criticism is the hobby of fools, the boast of the arrogant, the exploit of the jealous, & the spiritual gift of hypocrites. Learn from criticism if it’s justified; ignore it if untrue, unfair, or ignorant; &, if needed, respond with Christian grace (Pro 15:1, 2).
