STOP AND THINK – To avoid criticism: say nothing, do nothing, be nothing. (Russell Moore, American evangelical theologian)
We live in a very critical culture, which can be good or bad. Critical thinking is good; we must not give in to easy intellectualism without critical thought. On the other hand, to view everything and everyone with a critical spirit is counterproductive. We can avoid such criticism by saying and doing nothing, but we can’t have any influence for good that way.
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment. (John 7:24)
