God’s Gentleman Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

I am more convinced every day that true power is in gentleness. Like the silent gentle rays of the sun are the most potent factors in natural life, so the gentle kindness of the Christian is the most potent factor in spreading the spiritual life.

The whole world is under the pressure of such competing ideologies. Is theism or atheism the truth? Is liberalism or conservatism the way to go in ...read more

Meek, Not Weak Series

Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jun 23, 2007

A meek person is Christlike, humble, gentle and patient.

People tend to equate “meekness” with “weakness.” We see a meek person as more of a gaunt man rather than a muscleman. In fact, in MS Word, when I right-clicked the word “meek” and searched for its synonyms, one of them is “timid.” When Jesus declared, “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit ...read more
