Please pray for our worship time on Sunday. We will be considering one verse again as we make our way through Colossians: 3:15-And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in on body. And be thankful.
Countless billions of dollars are spend each year in search of peace. Every day thousands of people searching for personal or family peace flock to professional counselors. Diplomats fly around the world pursuing peace between nations. Our courts are packed with cases arising from a breakdown of peace between individuals, families, or corporations.
Christians are not immune to this turmoil. We also experience the anxiety of disquieting circumstances and the sting of broken relationships.
But peace should be and, indeed, must be the hallmark of the godly person and the local church. After all, we are God's trophies that demonstrate the victory achieved by the Lord Jesus Christ (Col 1:19-22). A "peace-less" Christian and church is false advertising.
So please pray as we consider this issue-and, by the way: Grace and peace to you from God the Father (Col 1:2).
