Correction Vs Criticism: The Church Must Find Its Voice Again - 290926

Acts 17:16-21 CORRECTION VS CRITICISM: The Church Must Find Its Voice Again Ecclesiastes 3:7 Correction Correction is the loving act of identifying what is wrong according to the Word of God and seeking to restore the person or situation to what is right. Criticism Criticism is the act of pointing out faults or failures, often with the emphasis on exposing, condemning, or reacting to the person rather than restoring them. Galatians 6:1 2 Timothy 3:16 Corrections From The Spirit And The Word. 32 Help us this morning to take corrections from the Spirit and the Word, that we might prepare ourselves as we move away from the doors this morning, determined in our heart to live a better life than we have in the past. We ask it in Jesus’ Name. Amen. 65-0815 - "And Knoweth It Not” We Don't Attack People; We Deal With The Wrong 57 If somebody would come to me, something contrary, I would kind of misunderstand it, myself. I wouldn’t want to criticize what anyone says. We’re not to criticize each other. I’m not guilty of doing that; I thank the Lord. I have criticized sin and unbelief; but no individual person, see, I—I don’t. We are—we are brothers and sisters, striving, we are coming down to where Sister Florence came yesterday morning, see. She…We—we all got to come that way. And it’s not my purpose to—to try to criticize a brother or sister that wouldn’t agree with you. No, far be it from me to do that! I don’t think you’ll ever find a tape that I ever called anybody’s name on. Which, I have felt that many times the person was wrong, but that’s between them and God. But what is wrong, in the way of sin and…And misunderstandings sometimes is not even sin, it’s just misunderstandings of people. And I—I think each one of us has a right to express ourself to our understanding. 65-0911 - "God's Power To Transform” Matthew 18:15-17 Jesus' Pattern: Speak Privately First See → approach → correct → restore. NOT: See → remain silent → wait → expose. But Silence Is Not Always Spiritual Danger 1 — Silent when it should speak “I don't want to offend anybody.” Danger 2 — Speaking after the fact merely to condemn “Now everybody can see what happened.” Things To Worry About 46 So we find the conditions, today, ready for the Coming of the Lord. 47 But, while Brother Neville and I, and these other brothers are trying to shepherd a flock, I’ve got something on my mind now, that comes, that we might talk about. 65-0815 - "And Knoweth It Not" How To Deal With Conflict Of Interest 48 That is, I got a letter the other day from a fine lady. I never got it; it come through another person. And she was certainly tearing me to pieces, or trying to. Was saying, “Did you ever…Can’t you Christian Business Men do something to stop Brother Branham?” Said, “Because that he’s got this book out now called The Laodicea Church Age, bringing out more.” And said, “He’s just simply tearing Pentecostal doctrine to pieces.” Said, “Now he’s talking about the initial evidence ain’t speaking in tongues.” And said, “Then, he’s against women preachers.” And this was a woman preacher. And her boys, some of the best friends that I got in the world. She…They’re among the best friends that I got. And she said, “Now…” 65-0815 - "And Knoweth It Not" Puzzled 52 Certainly, she was a seller of goods. And Paul asked the people…Do you think Paul would say, “Let the women keep silent in the churches, not permitted them to speak,” and turn around and say, “Now, Phebe, my helper in the Gospel, she is going to preach a few nights”? Why, he would contradict his own word. See? 53 And said, then, to top it all (I believe it was Esther, was one of the judges in the Bible.), said, “A woman was a judge in the Bible.
