Tuesday Town Hall 14…Criticism

   Posted by: Sonny    in Townhall Tuesday

townhall-2Last week’s discussion brought out a number of things that people do not like about church, theology and such.  There is a lot of information there to digest and see if we can come up with ideas and solutions.

There are almost always some things that get to us that just really do not matter.  As for these, we need to ask the Holy Spirit to help us drop and get over them.  But a lot of us do have some valid pet peeves and some of us do not.  There just is no question about that.

But when we do see a problem, what do we do.  A lot of times we resort to criticism.

This brings me to my questions for this week.

Do you criticize people, things, systems, beliefs, etc?

How often do you think you criticize?

When you criticize, do you think of solutions before resorting to just criticism?

And finally, is criticism necessary at all?

I know some of you may shy away from this one, but I ask you to boldly go where you might have never gone before.  Remember, it’s just a blog.

Love you all

townhall-2Greetings everyone. I hope you all have had a blessed holiday season. I know that many have been very busy and the commentary here has reflected that. I tried to keep the Tuesday posts a little less divisive or controversial for this very reason. But this week I had determined to get a little more confrontational, but I am not.

It is a very personal reason that made me change my mind. This reason has a name and it is James Jr., (we call him JJ), and he is my two year old grandson that is staying with me and I must keep him while my wife is working. It is a joy but also a handful.

So let’s keep it simple once again.

Peeve as a noun is defined as ‘a source of annoyance or irritation’. And I am sure you have heard the expression ‘pet peeve’. This has the sense that there is something that irritates us and we focus in on it or make it our ‘pet’. So I want you to share with me your responses to the following this week.

Do you have any theological pet peeves?

Any preaching pet peeves?

Any biblical pet peeves?

Is there something being taught out there that just makes you fume, and why?

Have a great day and let me know what you think.

Love you all
