1 | Church is kidnapped to Sodom! | James 2:8 | mbooker | 58671 | ||
Good Morning Brother Tim! I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate your posts. I have seen instances where you have disagreed with a poster, but the way you do it... it(your post) just over flows with gentleness that it takes me a moment to realize you are disagreeing!! :) 2 Tim 2:23-24 seems to describe you... And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; Thank you for providing a good example for me! Abba Father Bless... Meredith |

Greetings Meredith! Thanks for the kind words. I wish that I always demonstrated the love of the Lord, but alas, I sometimes get irritable or impatient too! Just ask my family! :-) However, I have long been a firm believer in Prov. 15:1 - "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." It seems to me that our attitude, especially when we are trying to reach someone with the truth, should be loving and compassionate. I like what Paul said to the Thessalonicans: "but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children." (1 Thess. 2:7). That's not to say that one cannot confront error, we must. However, I firmly believe that one can confront the strongest of error in a way which makes it clear that we love the person to whom we are responding. I pray that all of us on the forum remember this. I can't count the number of times that I had typed some witty or biting response to a post and then exercised better judgement and used the backspace key to erase it. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
