But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. (Gal. 5:22-23)
The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit. (Ecc. 7:8)
Ken.
I was going to send this privately, but I feel it should be said publicly.
In what you originally stated, and here, I looked, and each of the fruits of the Spirit are evident.
"Patience of spirit...". Yep.
Well done, brother.

We all have issues from time to time and God is very patient with us and in some cases very long-suffering and gives us grace when it comes to these things so that we can grow up in Christ and have good understanding and good judgment as we mature. When it comes to the brethren we always have to consider the plan of God that is working in their life and forming Christ in them. How I have made mistakes and misjudged others all over the place in my walk with God and have even been chastised for it because it was done without grace, without discernment and without guidance from the Holy Spirit. It was all in the flesh and God had to make me see it and learn how to turn from it as I grew up. Still today I have isolated failures in that area and it is always better to keep my mouth shut and let God deal with my heart and leave others alone.
In today's church, sins of the tongue are so easily accepted by others because we have been acclimated to hear and give attention to these things being of this present evil world system that we live in but are not a part of. Two verses in particular have helped me to be quickened and awakened to save me from sinning with my tongue (and I have failed much)...
Jm 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
And at the same time we also have a duty in the will of God to our speech being seasoned (arrange, make ready, fit) with salt (Col 4:6) and in doing so we learn how to do that with much temperance (self control as one who would be able to rule his own spirit - Pr 25:28 and possess his vessel - 1Thes 4:4). The salt is a sprinkled seasoning that is used to preserve and protect and concerning our speech it pertains to wisdom along with much grace. This is such a crucial thing for the believer because of (Prov 6:16-19) which mentions three of the seven things the Lord's hates concerning with the tongue. Our Lord also mentions this in (Mt 12:36,37)...
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word (unprepared because of no labor) that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
There has to be an application for the believer concerning the words that come from his own mouth within and without the local assemble and house of God.
Eccl 5;1,2
1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
Prov 16:7 When a man's ways (that includes the way of the tongue) please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. (interesting verse)

When I lived in Chicago, and my IS was AOL, I used to fellowship with an onine group called Prayer Warriors, a very loving bunch in Yeshua.
Your saying "He is so wonderful," reminds me of a very humble woman in that group who would always say, "God is good all of the time." The first time a read it, I thought, gee and duhh. But as she kept saying it in her posts I realized, this is so very true, and worthy to be repeated.
Now I say it often when I post, so people will think about it, just as did this wonderful sister in the Lord. Yes, God is good all of the time......................He is so wonderful, amen.

I actually do listen to Grace To You (J macA, as my kiddos call him...lol) about twice a week, see Todd Friel when I happen to (and enjoy him, just don't watch much tv) and just bought a book by Sproul.
Caroline...if I have offended you in some way, I sincerely ask your pardon.
Please feel free to pm me if we need to talk.
I wouldn't willingly offend you for the wide world! ♥
