Rm14

Those who are critical generally haven't done much, nor would they want the same criticism directed toward them. A critical spirit is a divisive spirit. Our desire to criticize or judge others is not rooted in our love for Christ.

Paul's desire to help us is rooted in the fact that we will give an account to God for our own sins. It is interesting that this verse comes in the context of being critical of others! This is truly something to consider. When we are critical of others, we are not thinking about standing before God and giving an account for ourselves.

In light of all that Jesus has forgiven us, AND, how He continues to encourage us rather than point out our failures, should definitely cause us to not have a critical spirit. We should work to encouraged those around us and to be positive about those who we tend to criticize.

Just saying.
