A Christian gentleman is a fighting man. If you don't fight, then you are greatly failing in the Christian life. Jesus was a fighter. What makes someone gentle is not that they don t fight, but that they fight for the right reasons, in the right ways. And the right way still includes a fight.

00:00:00 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17 Thanks.
00:00:19 Jesus said,
00:00:20 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30 A Christian gentleman is a fighting man.
00:00:35 If you don't fight, then you are greatly failing, 0.81
00:00:44 greatly failing in the Christian life
00:00:49 and what the Bible clearly defines as true gentleness.
00:00:55 Jesus was a fighter.
00:00:56 See, you don't crucify nice guys. You don't even crucify gentle men in the way that the church in
00:01:06 America has defined gentleness today. If Jesus was gentle, by American evangelicals definition
00:01:15 of gentleness, he would have never been nailed to a cross. You don't crucify nice guys. You crucify
00:01:24 threats. Jesus was bold. At times, Jesus was brash. Jesus used even satirical language
00:01:34 against His opposition, against His opponents. Jesus said that the Pharisees were like whitewashed
00:01:42 tombs. They were pretty and bleached on the outside, but on the inside, they were like a
00:01:49 rotting corpse that reaped of death and decay. Jesus says all these kinds of things. It's
00:01:58 satirical language. Jesus is poking jabs at the opposition, but all of it is toward the goal of
00:02:09 bringing glory to the Father. See, gentlemen, true gentlemen, Christian gentlemen fight.
00:02:19 What makes someone gentle is not that they don't fight. 0.54
00:02:22 What makes someone gentle is that when they fight,
00:02:25 not if, but when they fight,
00:02:27 they fight for the right reasons.
00:02:29 They fight about the right things
00:02:31 for the right reasons in the right way.
00:02:35 And the right way still includes a fight.
00:02:39 It includes at times strong language.
00:02:42 It includes courage.
00:02:43 It includes boldness.
00:02:46 From time to time, it may even include
00:02:47 a little bit of satire.
00:02:49 towards your opponents. 0.96
00:02:51 Jesus modeled it.
00:02:53 So did the Apostle Paul. 1.00
00:02:55 Those circumcisers of the flesh, 1.00
00:02:58 I wish they'd go the whole way 1.00
00:02:59 and emasculate themselves.
00:03:02 That's hyperbole.
00:03:04 Satirical.
00:03:06 He is jabbing at the opposition.
00:03:10 Even to the church, he says. 1.00
00:03:12 Oh, foolish Galatians, 1.00
00:03:14 who has bewitched you? 1.00
00:03:16 A.K.A. I was just there.
00:03:18 I clearly preached truth.
00:03:19 You've already abandoned it.
00:03:21 It's as though you've fallen under some kind of spell.
00:03:24 Surely, underneath ordinary circumstances,
00:03:27 you couldn't possibly be so dense.
00:03:30 This is the apostle.
00:03:33 This is the fighting style of Jesus.
00:03:37 And this must not be interpreted
00:03:39 or understood as being something outside of gentleness.
00:03:43 This, rather, must be understood
00:03:45 as something that falls well within the bounds
00:03:48 of biblical gentleness.
00:03:50 So, the man of God must flee worldliness
00:03:54 and pursue righteousness, godliness,
00:03:58 faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness.
00:04:02 And that gentleness in no way stands
00:04:06 in contradiction to the very third command,
00:04:10 which is to fight.
00:04:14 Fight about the right things.
00:04:16 God's glory.
00:04:16 sound doctrine
00:04:19 and fight with the right motives
00:04:22 for the right reasons
00:04:23 God's glory
00:04:25 the good of God's people
00:04:27 and fight in the right ways
00:04:30 which at times
00:04:33 this is probably the most difficult category
00:04:37 that requires the most maturity and discernment
00:04:39 but at times
00:04:40 fighting in the right way
00:04:42 with gentleness
00:04:44 can sometimes include
00:04:46 very strong poignant language oh hi i didn't see you there thanks for sticking around i've
