LIVING LIVES OF FAITH AND PEACE

LIVE LIVES OF FAITH AND PEACE
We live in one of
The MOST DISTURBED times
In all of HISTORY
We are WORRIED about
Crime and violence right outside
Our front door=
ONE STEP=off of
Our front porch
Despite that=GOD CALLS us
To live lives of FAITH
And of peace=
Just like Jesus did
"He who does thes things
Shall NEVER be disturbed"                                                                                                   Psalm 15:5
Our country=our government
EVEN things that
Happen in the CHURCH
Leaves us
Disillusioned and anxious
Yet=when we
Are CLOSE to God
WHEN we are
Close to Jesus
We are still ABLE
To live lives of
FAITH=and of PEACE
"When Jesus
Saw their FAITH-
He said to the man
'Take heart=son-
Your sins are forgiven'"                                                                                                      Matthew 9:2
"By FAITH in
The name of Jesus
This man
Whom you see and know
Was made strong
It is Jesus' name
And the FAITH
That comes
Through him
That has COMPLETELY healed him
As you
Can all see"                                                                                                                          Acts 3:16
"Therefore the promise
Comes by FAITH
So that it may be
Guaranteed to all
Of Abraham's offspring--------........."                                                                            Romans 4:16
We are called
NOT to live lives
Of anxiety
But to live lives
Of FAITH AND PEACE
To CHANGE this fear-filled world
We must begin by
LIVING lives of faith=OURSELVES
WE must be at PEACE
With ourselves
And we must RETURN
Over and over
To the Lord our God
To our SAVIOR=Jesus
LIVING LIVES of faith
And peace=
NOT full of fear
"Consider the blameless-
Observe the upright
A future awaits those
Who SEEK PEACE"                                                                                                               Psalm 37:37
"PEACE I leave with you
My PEACE I give you
I do not
Give to you
As the world gives
Do not let your hearts
Be troubled
And do not be afraid"                                                                                               John 14:27
ONLY in GOD
Can we find the PEACE
That replaces our anxiety
Only in God
Can we live lives
OF FAITH AND PEACE
In Jesus' name and in the NAME of our PEACE-FILLED FATHER
