Bob, thanks for clarifying. I try to copy everything you do.

It sort of depends upon context. In a somewhat formal setting, as in if you are complimented for a sermon, I think Ruben's response is right on. Same for any job publicly praised, even though sometimes it might draw an odd look if the complimenter is an unbeliever.

But in less formal contexts, I tend to say "thank you" and then quickly change the subject.

Or maybe, "thank you, now quit trying to make me sin! Let's get back to work."

But I only use that on my heathen boss. He actually gets a kick out of it.

Vic
