Tom Landry interestingly was my favorite football coach. Mainly because I like the cowboys in that day but then I found out about his faith. Now to read about the way he worked with his players and the way in which they describe him.
Gentleness is not something that we strive to be known for. Most of the time it is equated with weakness. People desire gentleness. I think of how people resent and resist others when people come on extremely strong and rough. I think there is a time for each.
So many times when it is time for gentleness most fall short or never rise to the occasion and others end up without their needs being met.
How do you do it? Gentleness, that is. Fair is an interesting definition. Sensitivity to others in their given situation of need would be a good understanding.
Paul spoke a great deal about our need to be attentive to this reality. 1Timothy 3:3, 2Cor. 10:1, 1Cor. 11:1, Titus 3:1-5, Gal. 5:22-23, Eph. 4:1-2, Col. 3:12-13, 1Thess. 2:7, 2Tim. 2:24-25, 1Tim. 6:11
Challenge: Consider the “Points of Action” and “Thinking and Growing Together” on pages “155-158.”
