March 5 Pursue Peace Romans 14:19
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Therefore, let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.” (Romans 14:19)
Many speak of “Peace” and “Harmony,” yet are unwilling to change themselves! How easy it is to find fault with others, while continuing to demonstrate a hostile attitude towards your fellow travelers! In this highly charged political environment, it becomes clear what individuals determine as a priority in their lives! Wow! This life is so short, and we really need to recognize what is important and that which means absolutely nothing! Politics, Social Issues, Attitudes, Opinions, Bias, Prejudices, will all pass away! As Christ Centered Believers, we are to demonstrate in our words, actions and attitudes the FACT of His Grace and Love and “Pursue Peace with One Another!” Do you think that God is moved by your opinion or your political viewpoint? Do you believe that treating your neighbor with hatred and abandon is the way that God would have you behave? The one amazing fact of the recent events in my personal life that have caused me to look at the chaos and the futility of this struggle between “Good” and “Evil,” with a joyful and repentant heart! AS BELIEVERS, WE ARE CALLLED TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS, LIVE THE GOOD NEWS AND TO PROMOTE THE PEAACE OF GOD AMONG THE BRETHREN! Our Time Here is SHORT! Please do not waste your precious time by squabbling and fighting over junk that does not matter! I am preparing for by next adventure with my Savior, and I refuse to be entangled in the conflicts of this age and the Satanic driven attitudes that seem to be rearing their ugly heads! Please Re-Focus, Renew and Fortify your relationship with the Savior, and live to edify Him, and not some limited and worthless earthly personal opinion! Experience the New Life in Christ, and Live to Promote His Grace and Glory! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
