We should all be open to constructive criticism: to our preaching, or any aspect of our pastoring. But what about when its downright destructive? Maybe we need to learn from Nehemiah’s example:
“Nehemiah didn’t pay much attention to these complainers but went right on with the work. That’s the best thing to do. If you take time away from your work to listen to everybody who wants your attention, you will never get anything done. Nehemiah got his encouragement from prayer and the promises of God, and the occasional complaints of some of the people didn’t upset him.”
(Warren Wiersbe, commenting on Nehemiah 4)
