Trump, Netanyahu tout "productive" meeting after weeks of tensions
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in the Oval Office Tuesday for a "productive" 90-minute session on the Iran war — free of any public sign of tensions that have marked their relationship over the past several weeks. Why it matters: The meeting could have gone the other way, given Trump's frustration with the Israeli leader over the war, which he even alluded to publicly shortly before Netanyah arrived at the White House. The fact that both sides described it as positive is a win for Bibi. Driving the news: An account provided by the Israeli government stressed that the two leaders are in close coordination on the war and that there is no daylight between them. "There is no truth in the claim that Israel is pushing the U.S. in a certain direction on the Iran issue," Netanyahu's communication director, Tzipi Hotovely, told reporters. "The Prime Minister is not telling the U.S. President what to do and is not pushing him in any direction. Both sides w

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). These qualities must be present in the life of the believer. Their absence indicates the presence of an evil substitute. Have you considered what opposes gentleness? According to Scripture, unrighteous anger is its antithesis. The fruit of the Spirit is contrasted with the deeds of the flesh. These are “enmity, strife, jealousy, fits
