Ran across Oswald Chambers on the problem of judging others (My Utmost, June 17) after writing my thoughts on christian cancer. Seems better written and in a similar vein:
The average Christian is the most piercingly critical individual known…The effect of Criticism is the dividing up of strengths of the one being criticized…Criticism serves to make you harsh, vindictive, and cruel, and leaves you with the soothing and flattering idea that you are somehow superior to others…The first thing God does is to give us a thorough spiritual cleaning. After that, there is no possibility of pride remaining in us.
