Matthew Henry reminds us that Christian meekness is not weakness but Christlike strength under control. The believer walks in love, forgives freely, serves humbly, and stoops to acts of mercy others avoid. In an age praising toughness, Scripture calls us to resemble Christ—strong enough to kneel, serve, and love sacrificially.

I saw a post recently asking if #Reformed pastors should start wearing clergy collars again. I did when doing campus ministry where most of the students (and faculty) were lapsed from backgrounds where the collar positively communicated “this is someone I can talk to about my struggles.” Recently, I put it on when a mostly #LCMS family requested it as a comfort for a funeral service.
I've avoided it in my more "native" #Presbyterian / #Reformed church settings, including my own. In the #PCA it carried the implication one was tied into far-right #FederalVision (#DougWilson and friends) and, ironically, when I would do pulpit supply in the #PCUSA — at least in St. Louis — it implied alignment with the farthest left segment.
In all contexts, I've hoped to apply 1 Cor. 9:19-22.

Big weekend for the stovetop! 10 gallons of apricots put up, including a gallon of jam and 2 gallons of secret elixir, a pot of Whipple Beans, courtesy @ranchogordo, and a fresh batch of homemade enchilada sauce from the dried chilis. Can't live without my enchilada sauce, so cannot explain the first 30 years of my life to the contrary!
