Destructive Criticism

Author: Creflo Dollar

Have you noticed how easy it is to murmur and complain about things that upset you or that you don't particularly agree with? While going about your daily routine, the challenges you face may tempt you to complain and speak negatively. What you may not realize is God's strong opposition to murmuring and complaining.

In Numbers 11:1, the Bible describes how the Israelites' complaints angered the Lord. They had been journeying in the desert under Moses' leadership and their impatience caused them to begin complaining. God certainly didn't appreciate their words and it was demonstrated by His response to them—fire raged among them and destroyed the outskirts of the camp.
