Bible in a Year :
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Following a challenging tour in Afghanistan, Scott, a sergeant in the British Army, fell apart. He remembered: “I was in a dark place.” But when he “discovered Jesus and began following Him,” his life changed radically. Now he seeks to share the love of Christ with others, especially veterans with whom he competes in the Invictus Games, an international event for wounded and injured members and veterans of the armed forces.
For Scott, reading the Bible, praying, and listening to worship music grounds him before going to the Games. God then helps him “to reflect the character of Jesus and show kindness, gentleness, and grace” to the fellow veterans competing there.
Scott names here some of the fruit of the Spirit that the apostle Paul wrote about to the believers in Galatia. They struggled under the influence of false teachers, so Paul sought to encourage them to stay true to God and His grace, being “led by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:18). By doing so, they would then produce the Spirit’s fruit—“love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (vv. 22-23).
With God’s Spirit living within us, we too will burst forth with the Spirit’s goodness and love. We too will show gentleness and kindness to those who surround us.
Reflect & Pray
How can God help you to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit? What practices can help you to stay in tune with Him?
Life-giving God, thank You for Your Spirit. Please produce within me fruit for others to enjoy.
10/10. I had to do process of elimination on two of them.
.
I know. When people say 20 years ago...I think “the ‘70s”. They mean 2004. It shocks the brain.
Awesome score, BTW!
You nailed them for a perfect score!
Most of the questions were about oaters, which I didn’t watch much during the sixties. Nonetheless, I got nine out of ten.
Well, even without the “oaties” which weren’t my favorites either, you did GREAT!
Interesting info.

https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-inside-militarys-secret-undercover-army-1591881
The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities & in low profile, all part of a broad program called “signature reduction.” The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic & foreign assignments, both in military uniforms & under civilian cover, in real life & online, sometimes hiding in private businesses & consultancies, some of them household name companies.
