We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Jesus did not come to make God’s love possible, but to make God’s love visible.

Certain it is, and we are to believe it by faith, that the power of Satan is not equal to the power of God. It is not so strong, so large, and so wide. It is every way infinitely less. There is no comparison between that which is finite. If we compare it with good angels, it will be less than some and greater than other some… But if we compare it with the power of man, it is far greater every way, but yet, we must know, that is a finite and natural power, not supernatural, for then none could be saved. It is mighty, but yet not almighty.

Peace

Peace that passes all understanding

Where can you get peace? 

In our highly commercialized world, it seems almost everything has an owner/seller – so who owns PEACE, and how can we acquire it?

But first, is there a market for peace?  In other words, who wants it?  Are there a lot of potential people who want it?

Anyone surrounded and hounded by these kinds of people and thoughts will be wanting peace:

  • lies
  • dishonorable
  • unjust – lacking justice
  • unpure (perverse)
  • grotesque
  • selfish, rude
  • wanting the worst, sub-par
  • constantly critical

I think everyone will be wanting peace, don’t you?

The bible tells us who owns peace:

  1. the peace of God (Philippians 4:7)
    1. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.  Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand.  Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
  2. the peace of Christ (Colossians 3:15)
    1. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.  And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

If you want real peace, God can provide it.
