Q&A: What is your definition of gentleness and peace in your life?

Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:09:06 +0000

Question by SCC: What is your definition of gentleness and peace in your life?
In the Christian faith, one of the virtues is gentleness. How can we show gentleness in our lives and our walk with God? The same goes for peace. I’m not talking about what you expect out of others, but in your own life, how do you show gentleness and peace?

For those of other beliefs, what is your opinion about gentleness and peace and how would you exemplify it?

Philippians 4:4-6 (NIV)
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Best answer:

Answer by nondescript
There are no gods. Peace in my life comes from an understanding of the world. I don’t know everything about the world, but I know enough to understand, in general, how it works. I’m also content to admit those things I don’t know about the world.

Some people don’t seem as content. They like to make up stuff about the world when they lack answers. They don’t know how the universe started, so they say “God did it”. That’s a made up answer, and it belies an underlying insecurity about the world.

To me, that’s not real peace. Peace comes from accepting what you know and what you don’t know, not making up stories to cover your ignorance.

Gentleness comes from having the same understanding about the people around you. When you realize that everybody around you has pretty much the same life as you, you are more willing to put yourself in their shoes and be gentler to them. Some like to comparmentalize people into small groups, such as the various religious groups. Again, that tends to belie an insecurity. It’s more honest to treat people as they actually are, humans trying to live their lives. That honesty about the nature of people instills a compassion towards others as you include them in the larger group of humanity.

Philippians 3:17-19
17Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Is it a sin if you don’t always “rejoice in the Lord” even though you’re trying to?

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:06:48 +0000

Question by ambidreamz: Is it a sin if you don’t always “rejoice in the Lord” even though you’re trying to?
Philippians 4:4 tells us to “rejoice in the Lord always”

Is it a sin if you’re trying to but aren’t there yet? Or in this case, is the Bible vague about what is and isn’t a sin.

Thanks!

When we ask petitions, how do we ask?

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:12:41 +0000

Question by † Seek truth †: When we ask petitions, how do we ask?
Philippians 4:6-7 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
6Never worry about anything. But in every situation let God know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks. 7Then God’s peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus.

Best answer:

Answer by Lowly
1. habitually….we cast our cares on the One who cares for us
2. confidently…it is the throne of grace we approach, with confidence He hears and will respond
3. expectantly…once we give the care over, we know it is in good hands…There is none good, but God.
4. thankfully…we can thank God for the answer to prayer, even before we see the answer. This is appropriate, because He knows what we need before we ask !
(We are not prying blessings from an unwilling giver, but dealing with the Great Giver….who gave us His best, and will never withold any good thing from us. )
5. faithfully…without faith, it is impossible to please Him. We know that in Christ, we please God because the life of Christ was all pleasing to ‘God.
