As Christians, we are called to build each other up in love, not simply to point out flaws. There is a big difference between telling someone, “You’re wrong,” and showing them a better path forward.

When all we do is point out errors, we leave others feeling stuck and defeated. Correction without direction rarely produces growth. When we take the time to offer a godly alternative, we give hope and guidance.

If we want to reflect Jesus well, it’s not enough to say, “That’s wrong.” We need to add, “And here’s a better way that honors God.”
