Dr. Barclay – Something to Think About
There will will never be true peace, until the Prince of Peace returns.
Very often we forget the things we should remember, and we remember the things we should forget. We seem to forget the diseases, sickness, vermin, loneliness and dying. Yet we remember parades, pomp, pageantry, names of battles and government leaders. War is all through the bible from the beginning till the end of Revelation. War is something we cannot get away from because we are humans and unfortunately we do forget. Weak and poor leadership is the downfall of many nations and the cause of many wars.
Sadly we will always have war and conflict on this earth until Christ returns and reigns supreme from Zion and we all long for and welcome that glorious day. There will never be peace until the Prince of Peace dwells here among us.
Micah 4:1-3
Rev. Roxann Spicer-Theme: When we work together for Christ we will be blessed.
John 17:6-19
When we know Jesus, it is never just ourselves, it is Jesus and the Holy Spirit working through us. We can know it is “never just me”, life is always bigger than ourselves when we are serving Christ.
Acts 2:42-47
The early church was blessed with signs and wonders and their numbers greatly increased, the church grew exponentially. This was all because they were of one heart, one mind and they were in unity. God blesses our work and efforts when we are working in unity together for him, never for our own glory. It is never about us getting what we want. The christian life is all about obedience and full submission to Christ. We make life complicated ourselves, because are in the world and we use the world’s way of thinking. Living God’s way is never complicated. What is good for the kingdom will always be good for us. We will always be blessed when we put Christ first and give him the honor and glory, never ourselves.
