2 | Strong AND gentle? | Phil 4:5 | Lionstrong | 33574 | ||
Hi Charis, In my understanding of gentle, ONLY the strong CAN be gentle. God himself would be the ideal example of this. An illustration I use is this: A jar with a hard to open lid, a man and a child. A child would use all of its strength to get the lid off, but when the lid finally gave way he would not have the control to stop his jerk reaction, and spill the contents of the jar. The man on the other hand has the strength not only to open the jar, but to do it gently enough so as not to let the lid fly and the contents spill. Believers have great strength in the Lord and in his word. Therefore we can be and must be gentle as we deal with opposition. 1 Pet 3:15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with GENTLENESS and reverence; Peace, Lionstrong |

3 | Strong AND gentle? | Phil 4:5 | charis | 33599 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Well put! And well received! If I may add, and *un-gentle* attitude could betray a lack of strength and confidence (in the Lord). Blessings to you in Christ Jesus, charis |
