Description

God's Word says, “A gentle answer turns away anger, but a harsh word stirs up wrath.” In this episode, Lisa and I discuss practicing gentleness in a brutal world.

Gentleness is Kindness.

Kindness is Grace.

Grace is what saves us.

Therefore, gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit of God that is produced in Christ-followers.

A lack of gentleness comes from a spirit of pride and immaturity. On the other hand, gentleness is cultivated in the soil of struggle and fertilized in the solitude of time in God's Word.

Ask these questions to "check your pride" at the door so you can practice gentleness...

1. Am I considerate, generous, and fair or am I rigid, exact, and demanding?
2. Am I prepared to be sensitive to the things going on with those around me? Or just concerned with my needs. 
3. Do I show appreciation to those who serve me?
4. Do I tell myself I’m standing on principle or just being stubborn?
5. Am I becoming increasingly reasonable, compassionate, and kind, or unreasonable, crusty, and unkind?
