Critical (James 4:11-12) | Nathan Yovichin

In James 4:11-12, we study the harm that comes from a critical spirit. In order to guard against being critical, we need a higher view of God and a lower view of ourselves. We must remember we are held accountable to God and need to examine ourselves with Scripture often. To combat a critical spirit, we also need to sacrificially love others. Rather than nitpicking and fault-finding, we should strive to care and do good to others. In the end, sometimes correction is needed and if so we must not shy away from it but rather speak the truth in love for the good of others and the glory of God.
