The trouble with most of us,” someone once said, “is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.”That’s really true. Go ahead, ruin me.

The truth is, we can work ruin by either extreme:
- Give nothing but compliments.
- Offer only criticism.
Words that compliment and words of criticism both strike like arrows, and they seldom miss their mark.
This is a great article on ChristianBlessings by Wayne Stiles. Would you ever think that compliments and praise could ruin a life just as negative comments and criticism can? Read the rest of this article to find out how.

Greg is a strong believer in Jesus Christ and in the need for revival in today’s Church. He likes reading, writing, music, and spending time with his family and his dog Roxie. By day he is a self-employed non-emergency medical transport driver, and is the Editor-in-Chief for the National War Council, as well as being a political analyst, author, blogger, and an accomplished DIYer. His articles are first published on Inspirational Christian Blogs, and I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ!, and from there the articles are published on other well-known conservative websites.
The author feels convinced that the Church is in extreme danger of being forsaken by God for being unbiblical and seeks to warn all those with “ears to hear.” He believes we are in the last days of the end times, and that God is building His Remnant Church even now.
Greg is the author of: Spiritual Darkness is Destroying America and the Church

WHAT DID YOU DO??!! (Princess Atta quote – “A Bugs Life”) 
Denying What is Plainly Evident
Hello! While I don’t mind you reproducing these brief introductions and pictures from my posts on your blog, I prefer you link to my original post (on my blog) when you say: “To finish reading this article, please head over to . . .” –rather than linking to ChristianBlessings.
I looked for a way to contact you, but the comments section was the only way I could see to do it.
Thank you, and God bless.
Wayne Stiles
So noted, I apologize for the problem.
