You make a fantastic point that I think has a lot to do with holiness! It are these kinds of characteristics, like the fruit of the Spirit that are the way we are to be counter culture in the world!. These are the ways we need to be “set apart”, not by the legalistic surface ways that so many modern holiness people seem to fall into. Abstaining from drinking, and not dancing doesn’t really set you apart the way that Christ calls us to. I am not saying that we have complete carte blanche and we can live our lives free from discernment, but being set apart from our culture means being things like meek in the the context of living in our culture rather than just boycotting it.

Thanks for your post,

Peace,

James

He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness , And to walk humbly with your God?

To love kindness, I think that fits well into meekness as well.

Especially in the work environment. Good post Kevin and sorry I missed this weeks class, but someone had to watch all those 2-3 year olds!
