SDG 86 Kill it with Kindness.

Galatians 5:22-23

What's the best way to exhibit our gift of The Saving FAITH of Jesus Christ?  KINDNESS!  And that’s the fifth fruit of the Spirit!

Sometimes all it takes is an act of kindness, a word or a gentle smile. Can you remember the power that had upon you when you really needed it?

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness”.  And this term 'gentleness' is commonly known as kindness and it’s needed in our homes, our lives and our nation to survive and thrive.

Yet sadly Paul’s warning to Timothy that in these last days that perilous times shall come is what we are seeing more and more of in this day and age.

We see that men have become lovers of themselves and money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,  traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. (2 Tim 3:1-6).

And this is all part of Lucifer’s Master Plan.

You know we are continually attacked on three fronts by the  world, the  devil and the flesh and by flesh I don’t mean our skin & bones or our flesh & blood. 

I’m talking about our deep seated nature.  It’s ugly and cruel so let’s learn how to kill it with a little kindness.

A lot of Christians are trying to be good as they practice righteousness, but even we need to learn how to be kind and just “kill it with kindness”.

So like Glenn Campbell sang, “let’s all try a little kindness!”

So in this message on the 5th fruit of the Spirit let's look at the what, why, when, where and how of KINDNESS and how we can kill Lucifer’s plan with a little kindness!
