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.

Introduction. Helen Mrosla writes, “In an earlier grade, I’d taped Mark’s mouth shut for talking too much in class. Now he was a student in my junior high school math class. His class had worked hard all week. By Friday the students were getting cranky. So, for a break, I asked them to write the ...read more

The Wonder Of It All Series

IT'S ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW - God has made Himself known through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. In knowing Him, ...read more
