How To Answer a Difficult Critic
Col.4:6 "Let your speech always be seasoned with grace,seasoned with salt,that you may know how you ought to answer each one."
Has anyone ever been guilty of speaking harshly, rudely to a critic? I am guilty of answering a difficult critic in a harsh way and I am truly sorry.
I am reminded of this awesome passage in God's Word when confronting a critic :
1. Speak to the critic with grace. I am convinced that we must speak in a kind spirit, and that's not easy..
2 Season your speech ( Mk. 9:50 and Lk 14:34) I am reminded that salt is used to stop decaying and to make a chicken dish taste good. Ha , to make food eatable. I believe by speaking to a critic in a seasoned way may make that person wanting to eat your dish, or at least make other people eat your dish.
3. Answer a critic no matter the difficulty by:
a. Using wisdom,truth and love
b. Never get into an argument that will cause more harm than good such as:
foil remarks, surely remarks,cutting remarks,saltiness's remarks.
Eddie, listen they will get away with their ungodly, untruthful speech. I believe they will not, because no one will listen to foolish, tasteless , unsalted speech.
I believe people can tell between a good dish and a bad tasting dish. I also believe we need to season our speech because by doing so we will advance the gospel.
God bless,
Eddie Smatt
