A Biblical Alternative to Criticism

In this article, Louis Priolo presents an alternative to common ways of criticism in relationships. He presents the idea of biblical rebuke or reproof presented in Luke 17:13. Priolo discusses basic biblical guidelines for administering reproof: Examine your motives and life, choose the right time and words, comfort before you correct, be prepared to suggest a biblical solution and communicate a spirit of gentleness. He concludes with a discussion of how to respond to reproof (sinful and righteous responses).
