How is your Review?

Romans 12: 10  ESV

¹⁰ Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Whenever I buy something from Amazon, they look for me to offer a review of the product I purchase.

People do that with authors of books that certain people write.

I was surprised to see how many people don’t like some of the authors I like.

Joyce Meyers and Francis Chan and David Platt and others, really take a review beating by some people.

Actually, I happen to like the teaching of those people, and I also like John Hagee’s material too.

I wonder though, when a person prepares to write a review, do they take into account the person’s/authors true character?

When people take reviews written from other folks as Gospel, without ever once taking the time to really get to know the person writing the review, or even bothering to read the book by the author.

Some people take those scathing thoughts, and go out on the warpath. If someone were to write a review about you, what would they write?

Would they take the time to authentically get to know you?

I thought the Body of Christ was supposed to offer brotherly affection to one another.

Who have you outdone lately, in showing honor to?

A friend of mine wrote a book a number of years ago, and people have really beaten him up over it.

The one thing that none of them have ever considered doing, was to get to know this guy in a personal way, or read his book cover to cover.

It’s amazing all the so called “experts” there, who have never taken the time to sit with my friend, and get to know him in a personal way.

I guess at the end of the day, it’s really their eternal loss, and his eternal spiritual gain…
