1 | Pointing out failures | Matthew | NightJay0044 | 160535 | ||
Hi, when I'm teaching someone to drive, instead of point out all the faults they do or the things they do wrong, do you think it would be wiser to say, what do you think would of been right to do in that situation? My questions comes from the thought of passsage, Matthew 7, where it talks about behaviour. Is that something better to say instead of saying "well, you did this wrong" or "You did that wrong?" |

I feel it's far better to ask questions and let the person figure out the answer themselves - you learn far better that way. Most people take exception to being "told" what to do. It is wise to ask questions and perhaps lead them to understanding the right answer. Ask, "why do you think that's the right answer." make them look at their reasoning. Jesus taught in parables because it gave people a way to relate to headier issues. It made them think and ask questions to understand. |

Oh, I thought of something else. Phil 4:8 tells us: 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. So telling them what they are doing right allows them to focus on that. However, God does use correction as well as encouragement. |
