       We can either use our mouths to speak good things or bad things, to encourage others or tear down others, to speak positively or to speak negatively. It’s amazing how often our speech displays what we really think. It can show others our faith or, in many cases, our lack of faith. The way some of us act toward one another can be very discouraging at times. Some people are so busy correcting others that they become overbearing to be around. They have a dominate presence, and they are overly critical. You feel uncomfortable around them; you cannot really relax when this kind of person is present. You always have to be on your toes because they always find what is wrong with something, and pay no attention to what is right. They are not living by the energy of the Spirit, but by the energy of the flesh. Lots of legalistic brothers and sisters are like this, and they need to fix this problem. Jesus didn’t call us to be critics in the body of Christ. And the thing of it is, most of the time these type of people don’t even realize they have a problem.
