Ever Feel Criticized for Expressing Your Faith?

To me, this is the quote of the month:

"The Bible records in Acts 17:10-11 that the Apostle Paul commended the Bereans for comparing what he taught and said to Scripture. Rather than taking offense at what others might consider to be 'criticism,' Paul encouraged them to compare everything he was teaching to the Word of God. He did not regard those who sincerely measured what he said by Scripture as 'difficult,' or 'divisive,' or having a 'critical spirit.' He understood that for truth to prevail in the Church, everyone's teachings--even his own--would have to be proven by the Word of God. He echoed this in 1 Thessalonians 5:21: 'Prove all things; hold fast to that which is good.'"
