This was on Joel Comiskey's e-letter this week . . . Give it some thought and let me know what you think:
Criticism comes easily. Solutions are far harder.
D.L. Moody once responded to his critics by saying, "I like what I'm doing better than what you're not doing."

Are You On the Problem Side or Solution Side?

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." -Matthew 7:3-6
The Lord really spoke to me on this issue through this verse. In conviction, I felt the Lord ask "How many specks are in a plank?" In reply I thought "infinite." And it hit me that I should be spending infinitely more time criticizing my own motives and heart before I even think about calling out my Brother. Rebuke has it's place but man I needed that perspective.
