08. Three Types Of Critics And How You Should React To Them

The question is not whether you will experience criticism or not. The better question is this: How do you or how should you react when you receive some sort of criticism. How do you deal with it? What should be your approach? What should be your reaction? How can your attitude towards critics and criticism resemble a Christo-centric mentality?

I was always infatuated with the thought of having hundreds of my sermons that I usually typed out and then printed — to be readily available for me at the tap of a finger. This was my primary motivator for desiring this magical device.
