What Is the Fruit of Gentleness?
To many, the idea of gentleness conveys a wimpy form of Christianity. Yet gentleness, the penultimate quality of the listed fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in our lives, needs consideration. We learn from Scripture that it is essential to the life of the Christian, the leadership of the church, and the love of Christ.

Established in 1990, TPS protects nationals of designated countries fleeing extraordinary circumstances from deportation. "The ripple effects of this are going to be really big" and "really impactful for not only the TPS holders themselves, but for everyone in their communities," says Esther Sung, the Justice Action Center's legal director. State of play: The Trump administration has moved to end TPS for nationals of more than a dozen countries — sparking legal challenges scrambled by the high court's decision. At
