https://www.youtube.com/live/A9w78_aCX4k Rick speaking Sunday at The Gathering February 2nd The message addresses the cost to the church and oneself of criticism. If we look at the last two notes here in the online community before my note, about David's worship and not fearing, those two things are going the other direction than being critical. I've also wondered if one reason I allowed criticism in my life was as an attempt to overcome temptation, just seeking to oppose whatever I was tempted with, but I used a method that did not have the fruit of the Spirit. That may seem unlikely, but I think it may happen a bit more commonly than thought, though it may be unusual that I've been allowed to be aware of it :) Praise the Lord. The Lord loves you.
