Questions for week September 15th - 21st

Hard 2 Love

Part 4

Critical Carl

1) Just for fun: If you could visit a time period, in the past or the future, which time period would you choose and why?

Please feel free to go back to the questions from the entire series of Hard 2 Love, or to the weeks since your last meeting, and use those questions as well as these.

2) There is a difference between someone offering cutting criticism and someone offering constructive criticism.  How have you handled cutting criticism in the past?  How have you handled constructive criticism in the past?  What did you learn from either of these instances in your life?

3) The first prayer we looked at in this message was, God, help me know when I need to respond to criticism.  Have you ever responded to criticism and if so, what was the outcome?

4) The second prayer was, God, help me know when I don’t need to respond to criticism. Have you ever had a time when God did not allow you to respond and you obeyed? What was the outcome? What did you learn from it?

5) The last prayer was, God, help me overcome my own critical nature.  Have you been made aware of your own tendency to be critical?  If so, what steps have you made to change that nature?

6) Out of the 4 messages in Hard 2 Love, Needy Ned, Manipulative Mary, Hypocritical Harry and Critical Carl, which one has ministered to you the most?
