The Cross and Criticism

In my sermon from this past Sunday, I mentioned that the church (at its best) ought to be a safe place to be judged.

But the church won't be such a safe place if we do not know how to give and receive criticism in light of the cross. This article by Alfred Poirier gives guidance on how to do that. If you have a difficult time receiving words of correction, you'd do well to read this and glean from Poirier's insights.
