Helpful Words

We've all met people who seem to enjoy correcting others and telling them what is wrong with them. Sometimes it's done with an arrogant attitude - the kind that says "I'm better than you, and I know what's wrong with you." Sometimes it's done with an attitude of false humility: "I humbly hope I can help you become a better person."

Most of us, probably don't care much for people

 like this, and (rightly or wrongly ) probably don't listen to their advice. There is a sense that their real motive is pride, and their main goal is to impress us with how wise and perfect they are.

This is the opposite of what the Bible says about the way we should speak to others. Instead of pride, our motive should be love. Instead of criticism, our goal should be to encourage and uplift. Instead of impressing others with ourselves, we want them to be impressed with Christ. We must learn to avoid hurtful and useless words in our relationships, marriages, and lives.
