From critical to respectful . . . the Bible tells how–
John 8:7 (NLT)
“Let the one who has never sinned
throw the first stone!”
Romans 12:3
Don’t think you are better than you really are.
Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves.
Matthew 7:12
Do to others whatever
you would like them to do to you.
It’s kinda like the most important direction when reassembling a Browning Automatic Rifle…keep the mainspring thoroughly under control when installing the bolt, because if you lose it, it’s gonna rip straight through your throat.
Not that I would know, Andrew. But a critical spirit can get you in the throat.
