Our work at Gottes Haus is specifically designed for Christians who want to receive more of the Holy Spirit and who are open to His supernatural working. Numerous brothers and sisters are thereby blessed, inspired and motivated to continue their life with Jesus in the midst of daily challenges and difficulties.

Sometimes we receive suggestions, hints, valuable additions or honest, heartfelt "criticism" or questions. We take these seriously, pray about them, and not infrequently these things flow into texts and clips.

But not every Christian likes the style and content of our clips, messages and events. That is completely okay with us, because:

"To please everyone
is an art that no one can master."

But we also repeatedly encounter a form of sharp criticism that is hurtful, insulting and condemning . Unfortunately there are Christians who tend to judge, evaluate or even condemn others. Some warn against everything and everyone that is different from what they themselves are. Some warn on principle, because they see in it their task or even their "ministry".
Please remember that there is not a single Christian group, church, denomination or congregation that is not criticized very sharply by someone else.

A topic often taken up in the New Testament is the drastic warning precisely against this judging spirit, against the rejection of brothers and sisters in the faith because of theological disputes.

So how do we at Gottes Haus respond to criticism for criticism's sake, insults or slander?

We have decided that we respond to such a form of criticism only through three things:

1. 
With a list of biblical statements on the topic of judging, which we take very (!) seriously and which we want to take to heart on our part:

Bible passages on the topic of "judging"

2. 
With a story that presents the whole topic of "dealing with criticism" in a parable-like way:

On the Folly of the Unworthy

3. 
With a statement on the topic of genuine unity among Christians, brought about by the Holy Spirit (an excerpt from the book "God and Germany")

Without the Holy Spirit There Is No Spiritual Unity

For serious and honest theological questions, we would like to point to the books we have very deliberately selected in our Shop – all books have been read and examined by us ourselves. Here different topics such as prophecy, healing or the ministry of deliverance are explained comprehensively and in an easily understandable way.
