Handling Criticisim

If you’ve ever been criticised or been critical of anyone, read this here:

Romans 8:31: What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?] Amplified Version.

The moment you lift your head above the crowd you’ll attract attention, and not always the kind you want. Learn from the duck. He stays calm on the surface, keeps paddling underneath, and lets the water run off him. Time is on your side. When Nathanael asked, concerning Jesus, ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ Philip answered, ‘…Come and see…’ (John 1:46 NKJV). Nathanael did, and he ended up becoming a disciple. Often, as events unfold, the cause of the criticism will become clear and you’ll be vindicated. But you must keep going. George Bernard Shaw, the Irish playwright, certainly had his critics-but he knew how to handle them. After one opening a critic stood up in the audience and shouted, ‘It’s rotten!’ To which Shaw stood up and replied, ‘I agree, but what are we against so many?’ Nobody had more critics than Paul, yet he wrote: ‘If God be for us, who can be against us?’ Without courage we simply accumulate a collection of good ideas-and regrets. Most of our missed opportunities wouldn’t have been missed if we had been willing to push through the criticism and embrace what could have been. All of us experience fear. But here’s the difference: the winner’s need for progress overwhelms their reluctance to take a risk. They can live more easily with the memory of having tried and failed, than not having tried at all. They know that failure is an inevitable part of success, and failure always brings criticism. And while others fear stepping out into a new opportunity, the winner fears missing out on it.

Your Bible – Read It Every Day

”The word of the Lord stands forever.” 1 Peter 1:25.

Let’s read what some of the most notable leaders in history have said about the Bible. William Gladstone, a Prime Minister of the UK: ‘There is but one question of the hour: How to bring the truths of God’s Word into vital contact with the minds and hearts of all classes of people.’ Goethe: ‘I consider the gospels to be thoroughly genuine; for in them there is the effective reflection of a sublimity which emanated from the person of Christ; and this is as divine as ever the divine appeared on earth.’ President Ulysses S. Grant: ‘Hold fast to the Bible as the anchor of your liberties. Write its precepts on your heart and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this book we are indebted for the progress made, and to this we must look as our guide in the future.’ President Woodrow Wilson: ‘A man has deprived himself of the best there is in the world, who has deprived himself of this: knowledge of the Bible. When you have read the Bible you will know that it is the Word of God because you will have found it the key to your own heart, your own happiness, and your own duty.’ President Abraham Lincoln: ‘I have only to say that it is the best gift God has given to man.’ Like the law of gravity, the Bible will never become redundant. Whittier wrote: ‘We come back laden from our quest, to find that all the sages said, is in the book our mothers read.’ Your Bible-read it every day.

Let’s look again at what some of the most notable leaders in history have had to say about the Bible. Napoleon: ‘What happiness the Bible procures for those who believe it! What marvels it bestows upon those who reflect upon it!’ Daniel Webster: ‘There is no solid basis for civilisation but in the Word of God. If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will continue to prosper. I make it a practice to read the Bible through once every year.’ William Lyon Phelps (once referred to as the most beloved professor in America-of Yale University): ‘I thoroughly believe in a university education for both men and women, but I believe knowledge of the Bible without a college course, is more valuable than a college course without knowledge of the Bible.’ Sir William Jones: ‘The Bible contains more pure sensibility, more exquisite beauty, more pure morality, more important history, and finer strains of poetry and eloquence than can be collected from all other books in whatever age or language they may be written.’ Robert E. Lee: ‘The Bible is a book, in comparison with which all other books are of minor importance. In all my perplexities and distress, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength.’ Jean-Jacques Rousseau: ‘The majesty of the Scriptures strikes me with admiration, as the purity of the gospel has its influence on my heart. Peruse the works of other philosophers with all their pomp and diction, how mean, how contemptible are they, compared with the Scriptures.’ Your Bible-read it every day.

Let’s look once more at what some of the most notable people in history have had to say about the Bible. Matthew Arnold: ‘To the Bible men will return because they cannot do without it. The true God is, and must be pre-eminently the God of the Bible, the eternal, who makes for righteousness from whom Jesus came forth, and whose spirit governs the course of humanity.’ George Washington: ‘It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.’ Thomas Jefferson: ‘The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty.’ Horace Greeley: ‘It is impossible to mentally or socially enslave a Bible reading people.’ Patrick Henry: ‘This is a book worth more than all other books which were ever printed.’ William McKinley: ‘The more profoundly we study this wonderful book and the more closely we observe its divine precepts, the better citizens we will become and the higher will be the destiny of our nation.’ J. Edgar Hoover: ‘Inspiration has been the keynote of America’s phenomenal growth. Inspiration has been the backbone of America’s greatness. Inspiration has been the difference between defeat and victory in America’s wars. And this inspiration has come from faith in God, faith in the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, and faith in the belief that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God. Reading it within the family circle is more important today than ever before. It draws the family together into a more closely knit unit. It gives each member a faith to live by.’ Your Bible-read it every day!
