A critical spirit is not from God. Often, we self-righteously judge the sins of others while failing to recognize our own sins. In today’s message, Pastor Ron warns us about the dangers of this behavior. He points out three flaws in the Pharisees’ criticism of the woman who washed Jesus' feet: misjudgment of the woman, questioning Jesus' authority, and a lack of self-awareness. We often diminish others to elevate ourselves. Criticism distracts us from our focus on Christ and keeps us from fellowship with Him.
