Criticism Can Be Contagious

Some people will find something to complain about no matter what their circumstances.  When you are displeased with something or someone, do you display patience and anticipate things are going to get better?

When a person gets into the habit of criticizing and grumbling, it does not lead to hope.  With negative thinking, choices can be made that are not based on wisdom. Christians lose patience with each other under everyday pressures, and the church becomes infected with a readiness to criticize and blame. We are to focus on things eternal and not sweat the small stuff.

(James 5:9) Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.
