Our pastor recently received an anonymous email that was highly critical of himself and his executive pastor.  As an elder, I can honestly share that this kind of message serves only to discourage leaders.  The person criticizing picks apart whatever he or she disagrees with, is not part of a solution and hides behind a cloak of anonymity rather than come and personally share what is misunderstood.  It is too easy to be critical.  It is also immature to lob rocks from the other side of the hill.

George Washington, probably American’s most famous leader, once said, “Show not yourself glad at the misfortune of another, though he were your enemy.  Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the disparagement of any.”  How true those sage words ring today!  And how well we would do to heed them.
