Judge Not
Our pastor talked about judging people today in church - how we shouldn't. He said that judging people is in Satan's job description - as a daily occurence. And in God's job description - as we stand before Him on Judgement Day.
One comment our pastor made that I thought would be of interest to the WDC community was: "There's a big difference between critiquing and criticizing."
I think that is the message I have tried to share on many occasions when the topic of reviews and ratings has been discussed.
If you look at how the words have evloved, offering a critique has come to be a gentler word. More people consider it a neutral word, where the act of criticizing has a more negative meaning.
Critiquing, in today's world, means to offer a review. Criticizing means to censure, find fault, make judgments about merits and faults.
Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. - Frank A. Clark |
