你能接受批評嗎？
讀 經：馬太福音5：3-12
金 句：「人若因我辱罵你們，逼迫你們，……你們就有福了。應當歡喜快樂，因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的。」（馬太福音5：11-12）
全年讀經：詩篇55-57篇
你知道如何和你的敵人相處嗎？不，我不是問你是否善於結交朋友？那很容易，只要做一個好好先生，出手大方，凡事忍讓，永不得罪人。
但怎樣和敵人相處呢？如果你是上帝的孩子，在你和當今世界上那些邪惡、惡言惡狀的男人和女人相處時，如果你的言行舉止與他們無異，他們不會對你表示厭惡和惡言相嚮，那就說明你絕不是上帝的好見證。你是否避免討論屬靈問題，因為你害怕由於自己信耶穌基督而招來批評？你是否怕失去朋友而羞於和別人談論耶穌。
我們每星期收到數以千計的讀者來信，他們對我們的廣播和書籍材料發表他們的看法，有的讚賞，有的批評。我可以坦白地說，我對批評的來信和其他來信一樣欣賞，因為那些信證實他們聽到了我傳的福音。聖經就象雙刃劍，兩邊都能切。對基督徒來說，它教導人如何過虔敬的生活（提摩太後書3：16）。同時也把道理帶給不信上帝的人（希伯來書4：12）。
如果你願意因耶穌的緣故而樹敵，你應該高興，「因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的」（馬太福音5：12）。MRD
耶穌，天使把你贊頌
凡人竟然以你為恥？
而你的那榮耀的光芒，
將代代相傳永不終止！ Grigg
接受批評的能力，是靈性成長的確切指標。

Can You Take Criticism?
Read: Matthew 5:3-12
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you . . . for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. --Matthew 5:11-12
How good are you at making enemies? No, I didn't ask how good you are at making friends. That's easy. Just be a good Joe, an easy spender, a tolerant sort of fellow who never offends anybody.
But how good are you at making enemies? If you are a child of God and you can move among wicked, ungodly, cursing men and women today, and not be different enough to incur their disfavor or reviling words, you certainly are not much of a testimony. Do you avoid discussing spiritual issues because you're afraid of criticism for your faith in Christ? Are you ashamed to talk to others about Him for fear of losing friends?
In the thousands of letters that we receive each week in response to our broadcasts and literature, we read comments of appreciation and of criticism. I can honestly say that I appreciate the critical letters as much as any others, for they confirm the gospel I preach. The Word of God is like a two-edged sword that cuts both ways. For believers it offers instructions on how to live a godly life (2 Tim. 3:16), and it brings conviction to the minds of unbelievers (Heb. 4:12).
If you're willing to make enemies for Jesus' sake, rejoice, "for great is your reward in heaven" (Mt. 5:12). --M. R. De Haan, M.D. (founder of RBC Ministries)
Jesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days? --Grigg
A sure sign of spiritual growth is the ability to take criticism.
