    Today I would like to wrap this study up on Advent by asking the question - how can we respond to these truths we have studied together? And in trying to think of what would be an appropriate response I have gone not to the Bible but instead to a hymn, a

    How do we get rid of a critical attitude toward others? God commands us to love each other. Which means, I can "will" to love you, and you in turn can "will" to love me. This is our Christian responsibility

The danger of a critical spirit is that it spreads to others, and the criticism does not have to be warranted. I don’t care how spiritual we think we are, we may battle a critical spirit all of our life. ...read more
