Speaker 1: The Bible says, if you want to be more attractive,
Speaker 1: you need to learn to be more gentle in your life. Now,
Speaker 1: this is true in both men and in women.
Speaker 2: Now, one of.
Speaker 1: The laws of life is I attract what I am.
Speaker 1: I don't attract what I want. I attract what I am.
Speaker 1: If you want to attract a godly man, you have
Speaker 1: to be a godly woman. If you want to attract
Speaker 1: a godly woman, you have to be a godly man.
Speaker 1: You can't be some rude dude in a crude mood
Speaker 1: and say I really want one of those good women.
Speaker 1: Now you will attract what you are. And so gentleness
Speaker 1: attracts gentleness, and godliness attracts godliness. Now, since we've got
Speaker 1: a bunch of singles in this service for some guys,
Speaker 1: let me show you this one Timothy six eleven here
Speaker 1: on the screen. Here's the I'm gonna give a verse
Speaker 1: for guys and verse for guiles. One Timothy six eleven.
Speaker 1: As a man of God, and I want all of
Speaker 1: you guys to be men of God. As a man
Speaker 1: of God, pursue what God approves of, and then he
Speaker 1: gives you the five marks of a godly man. This
Speaker 1: is Paul talking to Timothy. He's mentoring his son in
Speaker 1: the ministry. He says, pursue what God approves of. And
Speaker 1: here are the five things that make a godly man Godliness, faith, love, endurance,
Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, gentleness, gentleness. Now, he says,
Speaker 1: God approves of godliness. What is God in thiss? It
Speaker 1: means I'm trying to let Jesus live through me. And
Speaker 1: then he says, another mark of a man of God
Speaker 1: is faith. I trust God in every area of my life.
Speaker 1: Another mark of a man of God is love. You're loving,
Speaker 1: You're unselfish. Another mark of a man of God of endurance.
Speaker 1: You don't give up, you don't quit. You have endurance,
Speaker 1: you have diligence, you have determination. And then one of
Speaker 1: the marks of a man of God is gentleness. That
Speaker 1: is strength under control, and that is attractive. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't want to belabor this point, but for you single guys,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a little advice tonight, because doctor
Speaker 1: Love is in the house, all right, Doctor Ricky Love.
Speaker 2: Here he is. Guys, if you want to attract.
Speaker 1: A good woman, you need to do what Boaz did?
Speaker 2: Who Boas? Where is he in the old Deskma, where
Speaker 2: is it? Look it up? No, No, I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Bo As is in the Story of Ruth, named after her.
Speaker 2: In the Book of Ruth. Now here's the story of Boaz.
Speaker 1: Boas is a young businessman and he is pretty successful,
Speaker 1: and he's got a wheat farm and he's doing a
Speaker 1: good job, and he's got he's got his business interest
Speaker 1: going pretty good. And one day he looks out on
Speaker 1: his field and he sees some stragglers taking wheat from
Speaker 1: his crop. Now, he'd already harvest the crop, but there's
Speaker 1: a little left over. And a lot of times homeless
Speaker 1: people are very poor. People would go out into the
Speaker 1: fields that had already been harvested and find the little extra.
Speaker 2: This is called gleaning.
Speaker 1: And he looks out and he sees one of these
Speaker 1: people is a woman named Ruth. And she's very, very
Speaker 1: poor because her husband has died. She's a widow, she's young,
Speaker 1: but her husband has died. And Ruth decides, I'm going
Speaker 1: to take care of my aged mother in law.
Speaker 2: My husband has died.
Speaker 1: She has no legal responsibility to take care of her
Speaker 1: mother in law, but she goes, this is what God
Speaker 1: would want me to do. So, I'm going to take
Speaker 1: care of my aged mother in law, even though my
Speaker 1: young husband has died. And so she's out out here
Speaker 1: picking grains in the fields in bo As' this field. Now,
Speaker 1: bo As could have gone out. He could have been rude.
Speaker 1: He could have been ruthless. He could have been demanding,
Speaker 1: and he could have said, get off my property. This
Speaker 1: is my property. You don't have any right to be
Speaker 1: harvesting my grain. It's my grain, and if I want
Speaker 1: to leave it out, there can. But he was not rude,
Speaker 1: he was not ruthless. He was not crude. In fact,
Speaker 1: he was gentle with Ruth. And not only does he
Speaker 1: allow her to pick, he says, I got enough, Let
Speaker 1: her pick some grain on my crops. Go ahead and
Speaker 1: let her do. He then commends her. He compliments Ruth
Speaker 1: for taking care of her aged mother in law, and
Speaker 1: he compliments her, and he's very kind, and if you
Speaker 1: read the whole story, he's very gentle with this total stranger.
Speaker 2: And so then Ruth responds this way.
Speaker 1: In Ruth Chapter two, verse thirteen fourteen, Ruth said to Boaz,
Speaker 1: you're very kind to me. You have made me feel better.
Speaker 1: You have made me feel better by speaking gently to me. Pause, guys,
Speaker 1: A woman always feels better when you speak gently to her,
Speaker 1: when you're not in a hurry, when you're not rushing,
Speaker 1: you're not rude, you're not forceful. A woman always feels
Speaker 1: better when you speak gently to her. You have made
Speaker 1: me feel better by.
Speaker 2: Speaking gently to me, and so it's going good.
Speaker 1: So Boas invites her at the lunch And then at lunchtime,
Speaker 1: Boaz says to Ruth, come have a piece of bread
Speaker 1: with me, and dip it in the sauce. Now you
Speaker 1: thought fondue was Swedish two thousand years before anybody said
Speaker 1: the word fondu. Boas is dipping in the sauce with Ruth,
Speaker 1: and it says, then Boas pastor some roasted grain to eat,
Speaker 1: little granola, and she ate it until she was satisfied,
Speaker 1: and she still had food left. He gives her a
Speaker 1: doggie bag. Now this is a good thing. He's being kind,
Speaker 1: he's being gentle. Now here's an interesting thing out of that?
Speaker 2: Simple is it? Because he was kind?
Speaker 1: Because he was gentle, they end up becoming an item,
Speaker 1: falling in love and getting married. Now, why is that
Speaker 1: story even in the Bible? Because Ruth was not even Jewish,
Speaker 1: and it was illegal for a Jewish man Boaz to
Speaker 1: marry a non Jewish woman, but he did, and God had.
Speaker 2: A plan in it.
Speaker 1: And in Matthew chapter one, where it gives the genealogy
Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ the Messiah, there are four women mentioned
Speaker 1: in that genealogy and one of them is not even Jewish.
Speaker 1: Her name is Ruth, and God used that marriage as
Speaker 1: one of the marriages to bring the Messiah into the world.
Speaker 1: In fact, Ruth had a grandson and his name was
Speaker 1: King David, King David, And it all happened because Boaz
Speaker 1: was gentle with a woman he didn't even know.
Speaker 2: Here's the point.
Speaker 1: If Boaz had been ruthless, he would have been ruth less.
Speaker 1: I've waited all week to share that with you. Okay,
Speaker 1: come on, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay.
Speaker 1: If Boaz had been ruthless, he would have been ruth less,
Speaker 1: and all of that history would not have happened. But
Speaker 1: it all started with him just being gentle. Would you
Speaker 1: write this down. Gentle Men are gentlemen. Gentlemen are gentlemen.
Speaker 1: The way you become a gentleman is by being gentle.
Speaker 1: Now that's for the guys. Let me talk to you
Speaker 1: women for just a minute. Gentleness is attractive not just
Speaker 1: on a gentle man, on a man, but gentleness is
Speaker 1: attractive in women too.
Speaker 2: One Peter, chapter three, verse four says this talking to women.
Speaker 1: You should be known for the beauty that comes from within,
Speaker 1: the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which
Speaker 1: is so precious to God. Now I want you to
Speaker 1: circle the word on fading. God says, I want you
Speaker 1: to focus on unfading beauty. I hate to tell you this, ladies,
Speaker 1: but your beauty is gonna fade. In fact, all men
Speaker 1: and all women are beauty. Faith some of us are beauty.
Speaker 1: Start about year one. We recute as babies. But he says,
Speaker 1: there is an unfading beauty that is attractive. And what
Speaker 1: is that unfading beauty that is attractive The beauty of
Speaker 1: a gentle spirit. Gentleness is attractive. Number five. The fifth
Speaker 1: reason why you want to learn this quality in your
Speaker 1: life is it Gentleness communicates love. Gentleness communicates love, It
Speaker 1: diffuses conflict, it disarms critics, it's persuasive, it's attractive, and
Speaker 1: gentleness communicates love. Guys, those are her husbands and are married.
Speaker 1: The quickest way to improve your marriage. The quickest way
Speaker 1: to improve your marriage is to start talking to your
Speaker 1: wife more gently. It'll do wonders if you'll begin to
Speaker 1: talk to your wife in a more gentle way. Colossians,
Speaker 1: Chapter three, verse nineteen. Husbands, love your wives and be
Speaker 1: gentle with them. Any fool can be selfish, any fool
Speaker 1: can be rough, any fool can be rude. But gentlemen
Speaker 1: aren't gentle men. Now this is true not only in marriage.
Speaker 1: The key a great marriage is simply the union of
Speaker 1: two great forgivers, because you're going to hurt each other
Speaker 1: a lot in life. I've been married to Kay thirty
Speaker 1: eight years. I've heard her so many times, and she's
Speaker 1: hurt me so many times. But we're both great forgivers,
Speaker 1: and that's part of gentleness. Now, it's not only a
Speaker 1: key to effective marriage. Gentleness you're going to need this
Speaker 1: someday is the key to effective parenting. Never discipline, I
Speaker 1: said out of anger or out of frustration, but always
Speaker 1: gently out of love.
Speaker 2: Esian six'.
Speaker 1: Four, fathers do not irritate your. Children do not provoke
Speaker 1: your children to. Anger, now they don't do things that
Speaker 1: make them intentionally. Upset do not exasperate your children to resent,
Speaker 1: it rear them, tenderly gently in the training and in the,
Speaker 1: discipline and in the council of The. LORD i can
Speaker 1: honestly say to you THAT i never remember my father
Speaker 1: ever raising his voice against me growing, Up not one.
Speaker 1: Time did you ever get? Angry of course he. Did
Speaker 1: was he ever upset with? Me of course he was.
Speaker 1: Upset DID i ever really blow? It and have every
Speaker 1: reason for him to get at, many many, times almost
Speaker 1: a daily. Basis but he was a gentle. Man he
Speaker 1: had strength under, control and he would not yell at.

Speaker 1: be a leader in any area of, life you're going

Speaker 1: you want to be a leader in the, church if
Speaker 1: you want to be a leader in, government if you

Speaker 1: to be a leader in your, home if you want

Speaker 1: or in any other. Organization every great leader is a gentle.
Speaker 1: Leader the greatest leaders of all time were the most
Speaker 1: Gentle jesus being a supreme. Example but for, instance the
Speaker 1: greatest president in our history Was Abraham. Lincoln no one
Speaker 1: was more gentle Than Abraham. Lincoln and he even showed
Speaker 1: gentleness in the way he treated the Defeated southern states
Speaker 1: with respect and brought them back.
Speaker 2: In in a gentle.
Speaker 1: Way if he hadn't been a, gentleman that we haven't divided.
Speaker 1: Nation gandhi was a gentle. Person Martin Luther king was
Speaker 1: a gentle. Person George washington was a. Gentleman he was
Speaker 1: truly known as a. Gentleman and great leaders are Gentle you,
Speaker 1: know there's a story in The bible that you really
Speaker 1: ought to know, about and it's the story of a
Speaker 1: guy Named Ria.
Speaker 2: Bohm in The, bible.
Speaker 1: There was a guy Named King david who united all
Speaker 1: twelve tribes Of israel.
Speaker 2: And they became one.
Speaker 1: Nation and together the twelve tribes became quite, powerful and.
Speaker 2: They had a lot of, land and they were very.
Speaker 2: Strong it was the.
Speaker 1: Apex of the Power solomon, HAD i Mean Abraham david
Speaker 1: had a son Named. Solomon solomon expanded the empire Of
Speaker 1: israel and united the tribes even, more and they were
Speaker 1: at the greatest power at that point in.
Speaker 2: History they were the most powerful nation at that.
Speaker 1: Time solomon was the wisest man in the. World he
Speaker 1: was the wealthiest man in the, world and he was
Speaker 1: the most powerful man in the. World and he had
Speaker 1: this great united. Kingdom and Then solomon dies and he
Speaker 1: turns this, enormous huge kingdom to his young son Named Ria.
Speaker 2: Boham Ria boham had no experience.
Speaker 1: In leadership at, all and so he starts by doing
Speaker 1: the right, thing and then he does the wrong. Thing
Speaker 1: he starts by going to the older leaders of the.
Speaker 1: Nation they are called the, elders And Ria boham goes said,
Speaker 1: Look i'm just a young. GUY i don't know anything about,
Speaker 1: leadership And i'm thrust in this. Position would you guys
Speaker 1: tell me what DO i need to do to earn
Speaker 1: the respect of the nation and be the kind of
Speaker 1: leader my Father solomon and my Grandfather david.
Speaker 2: Were and he did the right. Things he.
Speaker 1: Listened he went to the, elders the, wise and you
Speaker 1: should be listening to older men and older women in your,
Speaker 1: life listening to them, always at every stage of your.
Speaker 1: Life and the elders of the nation say To Rea,
Speaker 1: Boem i'll tell you, what if you'll just do two,
Speaker 1: things the people will follow you. Anywhere first if you
Speaker 1: genuinely serve them and you show that you're there to
Speaker 1: meet their.
Speaker 2: Needs and, second if you always speak to them.
Speaker 1: Gently don't do a power, surge don't do a power,
Speaker 1: grab don't be on an ego. Trip speak to them.
Speaker 1: Gently he, said these people will follow you anywhere'll they'll
Speaker 1: be petty in your.
Speaker 2: Hands they'll do whatever you ask them to do as. Leaders,
Speaker 2: now that's the good thing he.
Speaker 1: Did the bad thing is he paid no attention to
Speaker 1: the advice of the. Elders and so then he goes
Speaker 1: to all the young. Guys he grew up with all
Speaker 1: of his, peers and he, says what do you guys
Speaker 1: THINK i should do? Now they weren't any wiser than he,
Speaker 1: Was they had no more experience than he. Did so
Speaker 1: he says to his, friends young, friends what do you
Speaker 1: THINK i should do as the new leader of this?
Speaker 1: Nation and the young men gave him the exact opposite.
Speaker 1: Advice they, said you got to prove that you are an.
Speaker 1: Authority you got to prove you have the right to be.
Speaker 1: King you got to be, tough you got to be,
Speaker 1: hard you got to do me. Demanding you need to
Speaker 1: lay down the law right now and let everybody know
Speaker 1: that you're in, charge and you. Can't you have to
Speaker 1: be unbending and you need to. Prove because you're, young
Speaker 1: you're going to need to prove that you are the
Speaker 1: authority and the. Leader and that's exactly what he followed that.
Speaker 1: Advice you know what. Happened the whole nation. Rebelled they
Speaker 1: went into riots and chaos and eventually civil, war and
Speaker 1: ten of the twelve tribes Of israel split from Rear
Speaker 1: broham's kingdom and started a whole new. Kingdom and that
Speaker 1: was the end of The United. Israel and from then
Speaker 1: on they have no more power as a. People why
Speaker 1: Because Ria boham refused to be. Gentle it was just
Speaker 1: a stupid. Thing, instead he threw his weight. Around, listen
Speaker 1: anytime you have to stand up in front of a
Speaker 1: group of people says excuse, me everybody in ther business,
Speaker 1: room in a, clubhouse or or in a, boardroom anytime
Speaker 1: you say excuse, ME i am the. Leader if you
Speaker 1: have to tell the people you're a, leader you. Ain't
Speaker 1: if you have to tell him you're. Not it he who,
Speaker 1: thinketh he, leadeth and hath no one following him is
Speaker 1: only taking a. Walk so leadership is, earned it is,
Speaker 1: learned and it is. Discerned it is never. Demanded if
Speaker 1: you demand that you're the, leader you're not a. Leader
Speaker 1: you're a. Dictator and that's a big. Difference there's ma
Speaker 1: being a boss and a. LEADER a leader leads by
Speaker 1: example and leads by. Influence, now gentleness earns, respect and
Speaker 1: the more gentle you, are the more respected you're going.
Speaker 2: To be as a.
Speaker 1: Leader the greatest leader in The bible, was of, Course.
Speaker 1: Moses moses Liberated israelites from four hundred years of. Slavery
Speaker 1: he took on the most powerful men in the world
Speaker 1: at that. Time pharaoh let my people. Go he had
Speaker 1: nothing But god on his, side and that was. Enough
Speaker 1: and he was, fearless and he was unafraid to go
Speaker 1: speak truth to. Power and, yet here's what The bible
Speaker 1: says About, moses the greatest leader in The bible numbers chapter,
Speaker 1: twelve verse. Three moses was a very meek and gentle.
Speaker 1: Man in, fact he was more gentle than anyone else
Speaker 1: on the face of the. Earth this is why you
Speaker 1: can understand meekness is not. Weakness gentleness is not. Weakness
Speaker 1: in The, bible there are only two people in the
Speaker 1: Entire bible who were called meek or. Gentle only two
Speaker 1: in the Entire. Bible you know who they, Are moses And.
Speaker 1: Jesus neither of them were. Weak jesus knew how to
Speaker 1: call the shots and turn the tables upside down when
Speaker 1: he needed, to and you, know turn over the money.
Speaker 1: Changers and he had no problem being. Strong he was
Speaker 1: strength under. Control here's the amazing. Thing moses is the
Speaker 1: only other man in The bible called. Meek and yet
Speaker 1: do you know what moses persistent sin. Was he had
Speaker 1: an anger management. Problem moses had a, temper a violent.
Speaker 1: Temper in, fact it is moses temper That god trouble
Speaker 1: throughout his entire.
Speaker 2: Life one Day.
Speaker 1: Moses got so, mad got so, angry he killed An.
Speaker 1: Egyptian he murdered a guy out of. Anger that's pretty.
Speaker 1: Angry another, Time god gave him The Ten commandments up
Speaker 1: On Mount. Sinai he came down and he saw all
Speaker 1: the people and they were, all, like you, know having an.
Speaker 1: Orgy and he got so angry at. That he throws
Speaker 1: down the Ten commandments That god had made for him
Speaker 1: and they break And god, says you're making the second, set,
Speaker 1: buddy it's. True and he had to go back up
Speaker 1: and he had to carve personally the second. Set god
Speaker 1: had given him the first, set but he broke him
Speaker 1: out of his. Anger another, Time god said that people were.
Speaker 1: Thirsty he, said, WELL i want you to speak to
Speaker 1: the rock and water will come out Of he, says, No,
Speaker 1: lord we've always done it another. WAY i want to
Speaker 1: do it the traditional, way and he struck the. Rock
Speaker 1: he got angry and struck the. Rock it was anger
Speaker 1: that Kept moses out of The Promised. Land she had
Speaker 1: a lifelong. Problem how the guy has a lifelong problem
Speaker 1: with anger be the only other guy in The bible called.
Speaker 1: Gentle here's the, reason and this should give hope to
Speaker 1: you who struggle with anger. Management moses was, teachable and
Speaker 1: when people spoke to him about areas of his life
Speaker 1: that needed to be, changing he didn't get angry back at.
Speaker 1: That he learned from. Them, now you may have a
Speaker 1: struggle controlling your. Temper the real issue is not. That
Speaker 1: the real issue is are you? Teachable and when somebody
Speaker 1: points out that you have a temper, problem do you
Speaker 1: humbly listen and respond with gentleness or do you get
Speaker 1: mad at that too and have a hissy fit and a.
Speaker 1: Cow moses was meek because he was. Teachable now there's number.
Speaker 1: Seven gentleness is a witness to. Unbelievers gentleness witnesses to.
Speaker 1: Unbelievers when people look at, you and non believers are
Speaker 1: watching you all the, time and they're watching to see
Speaker 1: are you any different than they are when you're? Understressed
Speaker 1: are you any different than they are when you are under?
Speaker 2: Pressure when you respond to pressure.
Speaker 1: With, gentleness that is an incredible testimony to the.
Speaker 2: World here's what The bible.
Speaker 1: Says titus three to Two believers should never speak evil of.
Speaker 1: Anyone circle that if you're a, believer not only AM
Speaker 1: i as a pastor not to do, That you're not
Speaker 1: to do. That believers should never speak evil of.

Speaker 1: Them, no of course you can disagree with, people you
Speaker 1: just can't speak evil of. Them you can't malign, them
Speaker 1: you can't slander, them you can't do personal attacks against.
Speaker 1: Them not if you claim to be a follower Of,
Speaker 1: jesus you. Can't believers should never speak evil of, anyone
Speaker 1: even the people who hurt, you even the people who hurt,
Speaker 1: You nor be.

Speaker 1: circle be gentle and show courtesy. You if you claim
Speaker 1: to be a follower Of, jesus you are not allowed
Speaker 1: to speak evil of. Anyone you are not allowed to be. Quarrelsome,
