    When things aren't going the way we think they should at church, or someone rubs you the wrong way, are you quick to criticize? Many of us have that tendency, if we're honest. But today on Abounding Grace pastor Ed Taylor urges us to refrain from that sort of thing. Nothing good is accomplished through our criticism of others. As we begin our study of First Corinthians four today we discover the apostle Paul even faced criticism. How he handles it really speaks volumes.
