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. A Fruit Essential to the Life of the Christian The word translated gentleness in Galatians 5:22–23 means “meekness, mildness of disposition, tenderness in spirit.” The word James uses to describe the gentleness of heavenly wisdom means “reasonable, equitable, patiently hearing and deciding on a matter, not overly strict” (James 3:17).

The nation’s semiquincentennial, which we marked on July 4, was the occasion for a number of new books about the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution. I’m sure I’ll get around to reading some of those in future—if they’re good, they’re durable—but lately I’ve been revisiting some older works on the subject that still hold up. I’ll get to those in a moment, but first I want to consider what we have been celebrating this year.

A Conversation with Ben Sasse on Renewing Your Mind
We’re sharing a bonus episode today on Renewing Your Mind, featuring a conversation that Ben Sasse recently hosted with Sinclair Ferguson and W. Robert Godfrey. Listen now as they discuss Christian worship, the church’s influence on the culture, and our calling to serve Christ amid suffering and weakness.
