I do not criticise my colleagues
In last night’s episode of Sherlock, he was questioning someone in regard to his investigation, and asked about one of his work colleagues. The answer Sherlock Holmes received was “I do not criticise my colleagues.” I was impressed by that answer as it showed integrity.
This got me thinking about myself at work. How often do I criticise my colleagues at work? Do I ever go through a single day without criticising someone?
If I want to shine the light of Christ in my workplace, home, neighbourhood and church then I am not going to be effective if I am constantly criticising people.
“Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless” (James 1:26)

Ouch. What a challenge. Easy to get sucked in to the gossiping and put-down sessions to make ourselves feel better, or just part of the crowd. I consider myself re-reminded and convicted. thank you.
I’ve also been very aware of this for myself since I wrote this!
