The Praiseworthy Principal

January 26, 2007
I am really excited about the “Praiseworthy Principal.” I think this is something we talk about all the time in church without really applying it (at least that is my experience with it). I found it really useful to actually plan out ways to execute the “Praiseworthy Principal” by noting the good and ignoring the bad and also getting rid of “but” statements by substituting “and.” This principal is so simple yet it is just human nature to find fault in one another. I think once this principal is applied over and over, until it becomes a part of our character, our relationships with everyone we come into contact with will change. We will be able to lift those we love instead of bringing them down. This principal in a way is just another method of serving one another. We have been commanded to love our neighbor and serve them. By applying the “Praiseworthy Principal” in our daily communications we will be uplifting and serving those around us.
