Summary: Episode #024 Recorded Wednesday, June 12, 2013 "Manly Marks: Meekness" HOST: Chris Clevenger Show Notes: By inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the apostle Paul provides nine qualities that we refer to as "the Fruits of the Spirit." (Galatians 5:22-23) These characteristics are the outgrowth of the Word of God, the seed of the Kingdom (Luke 8:11), when it is planted in our hearts. The eighth Manly Mark is Meekness. Meekness is humility and gentleness combined, especially in the face of adversity. Sir Thomas Browne explained: "Meekness takes injuries like pills, not chewing, but swallowing them down." This indicates that meekness allows a person to overlook or forgive perceived insults or offenses." Meekness is practicing strength under control. Meekness is possessing a purpose bigger than yourself. Meekness is preferring forgiveness over revenge.
