An Apostolic Attitude Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Compliments

Contributed by Kyle Campbell on Jan 19, 2022

Flattery is excessive and insincere praise, given especially to further one’s own interests. Proverbs 26:28 says that “a flattering mouth works ruin.” Compliments, on the other hand, are a genuine appreciation of something or someone — and this is the power to build and sustain others.
