Fault-Finding

This is a re-post of something I wrote in a moment of frusration: "I wish people would find something substantial to criticise about a minister: doctrinal error, moral failure, dereliction of duty -- rather than his tone of voice, which books he read, or what he might or might not have done fifteen years ago. OBSERVATION: Not that the latter things are altogether insignificant, but you know what I mean. Some things scrape the bottom of the barrel." It does in fact happen that ministers who are on track with the big things get hounded for the small things. Jesus of course spoke of people who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
