PT. 3 — CRITICIZING: Will Your Words Cut or Heal?

Some words stay with us for years.

A careless criticism can wound someone deeply, while a few words of encouragement can give someone the courage to keep going.

Scripture says, “Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.”

So which kind of person are we becoming?

It's easy to become a fault finder, constantly noticing what's wrong with our spouse, our kids, our coworkers, our church, or the people around us. But Jesus calls us to something better.

This week we'll discover how to move from fault finding to hope giving and learn to use our words to build people up instead of tearing them down.
