Gentleness and meekness trumps satire and still the truth can be communicated.<br /><br />STILL thinking about it but resolving my mind towards the gentleness because of the word "trumps" which rearranges things in my mind.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and for giving me something to chew on.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-70815120801250229272009-09-30T20:21:01.314-07:002009-09-30T20:21:01.314-07:00I want to read Pearl Girls -- one blog friend is a...I want to read Pearl Girls -- one blog friend is a contributor.<br /><br />I think writers/speakers/preachers have to be very careful with satire simply because it can be taken so wrongly. I don't think satire always equals ridicule. II Timothy 2:24-25 says, "And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves..." I think that gentleness and meekness trumps satire.<br /><br />Plus being satirical can be very satisfying to the flesh, which is not always a good thing.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-61655698108879900672009-09-30T13:39:59.759-07:002009-09-30T13:39:59.759-07:00Short Takes, huh?
