Theme Scripture: Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is... gentleness..." In this lesson we will be answering five questions pertaining to the topic of gentleness: "What is gentleness?", "What is the difference between gentleness and weakness?", "Why do I have to be gentle?", "What does the bible say about gentleness?", and "Can you give me an example of someone who showed gentleness in the bible?" What is gentleness? Gentleness, according to the Full Life Study Bible, is "not wanting to hurt someone or give him or her pain." Wow, this is tough! When people get on our nerves, how many times do we wish we can just give them a two-punch combo, or maybe just a piece of our minds- maybe say a few "choice words"? Yeah, almost all the time for some or maybe once in a while for others. However, this should not be so. We must show gentleness to all people, no matter how much they aggravate us...

He brought in my Spirit Numbers 23: 1- 20 when Balaam was told by B...
Theme Scripture: Galatians 5: 22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is...goodness." This lesson comes from the United Church of God blog (www.ucg.org). It is written by Don Hooser. The title is The Fruit of the Spirit- Goodness: God's Character and Man's Potential . Be Blessed! Are you suffering an internal spiritual war? If so, that’s a good sign. It’s a sign that you are pursuing goodness, which causes the badness of human nature to fight back. Yes, according to the Bible, badness comes naturally ( Romans 8:7 ). Goodness does not. But God has a wondrous plan to radically transform our character! Though our natural inclination is to defy God in sin, He has determined to help us overcome that nature to live a life of righteousness and goodness. This is possible only through a relationship with Him. As the apostle John explained, “He who does good [as a way of life] is of God, but he who does evil [as a way of life] has not seen God [i.e., has not come to really k...
