Living a Godly Life by John Hagee

If Jesus promised that criticism would be the result of living a godly life in a godless society, why should we be so surprised and upset when it comes?

Living a Godly Life by John Hagee
And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.

Destructive Criticism Will Lose Its Hold On Us When We Decide To Become Father Pleasers Instead Of People Pleasers!

If Jesus promised that criticism would be the result of living a godly life in a godless society, why should we be so surprised and upset when it comes?  One reason is that many of us were raised with the notion that we must please everyone at all times.

What rubbish!  Jesus was the Son of God.  He was absolute perfection in human flesh.  He couldn’t please everyone, and neither can we.

I know forty year old people who are still trying desperately to accommodate the unreasonable demands of their parents.  When their parents criticize them for not being attentive enough, they go into a funk.  Scripture says that we are to leave our parents and become part of the new family created when we get married Matthew 19:5.  I believe the same principle applies to single adults who have left home and set out on their own.

Certainly it’s right to honor our parents.  But it is unscriptural to let them dominate our lives.  We must cut the umbilical cord and close the door to continued criticism designed to manipulate us, our spouses and our children.
