Peace On Earth
By: Maxine M.

Peace?? Aren’t we, in reality, very very far from peace?
Everywhere in the world “acts of war” are about to find new release
Treaties and pacts are broken, long time allegiances soon will cease

Discord among nations & lack of harmony through out people of every race
Political affiliations disagree on the fundamentals they should embrace
In our families, in churches, between governments…peace seems to find NO resting place

Tension in marriages, conflict among employees in the work force
The presence of order & calm vanishes at every irritating source
Every hurt and perceived injustice brings thoughts of vengeful recourse

So what did the angels mean declaring “On Earth peace and good will toward men”?
Since those first 2 siblings were born, true peace has never been
For even the peace and tranquility in nature ceased to exist at the coming of sin

The Jews waited for the promised “MESSIAH” to bring peace from Roman domination far & wide
BUT Jesus said, “Don’t think I’ve come to bring peace between nations or end cultural divide”
Rather, DIVISION between My sheep and those on Satan’s side

For Jesus was the very “Prince of Peace”…His heart & emotions always under control
To give His life, beaten & humiliated, outside the city on Calvary’s grassy knoll
To be the “Mediator” of the new covenant, in His body & blood…this was His role

So you see the peace was between sinful man & God Himself…the Creator of man’s soul
A peace that passes outward circumstances…a peace that can comfort and console
A peace that replaces that worry & anxiety that takes such a dreadful toll

THIS is the peace Jesus meant saying “MY peace I leave you, MY peace I give you”
Not what the world CALLS “peace”…that peace never lasts, then what do you do?
THIS is the peace the angels proclaimed, “Peace to men of Good will…those chosen few”

The world cries “PEACE! PEACE” when there is NO peace…for peace is IMPOSSIBLE apart
From accepting His free “Gift of Salvation”…inner peace THEN will start
Cause true peace on Earth can ONLY come about when it enters EVERY heart

CHRIST’S PEACE TO ALL!!

WAR!! By: Maxine M WE are at WAR!! Not just the one we see on television every night This is a SUBTLE war, so subtle perhaps we don't even realize we're in a fight Or who the enemy is, but BEWARE!, this enemy has weapons of powerful might The weapons of this enemy we face, have been around since time began This daily war is the war of that "Serpent of Old" verses man When Eve first saw him, she should have turned around and ran For she wasn't an equal match for this enemy's 'half-truths' and outright lies Gleefully, he thought he had won when he heard her labor's cry Thinking, NOW, against the rule of their Creator, all her offspring will defy But he's only won a battle, the full blown war was only about to start And it still rages today...the war for man's soul, mind and heart The stakes are HIGH, don't underestimate him, for he is cunning, wiley and smart Most "soldiers" just do what they have to do, b

OUR MISSION by: Maxine M Our Lord's last and great commission was...Spread the Gospel's Good News The good news that Christ died and rose again, so Salvation's way they could choose Choose to accept His love & forgiveness OR eternal separation ..if they refuse Now, we're not all in a position to leave home & family for a foreign land And in reality for some, this isn't what God had planned To reach those all around us, THIS was His purposed command So we all CAN accomplish "This Commission" right where we live each day By the things we do, the love we show, the words we say By being steadfast and vigilant...keeping in mind its Christ's image we are to convey Most don't have opportunity to go to seminary or learn Spanish, French or German Or are gifted to stand at a pulpit and give an eloquent sermon But we ALL can do SOMETHING to promote His name, as we so determine Maybe simply take meals to the elderly, offer a helping hand Little acts of

The Last Ride by: Maxine M (in dedication to a fellow Christian who lost his life) What a lovely day!! Riding in the fresh spring air, what a thrill A "bike" gives such freedom, lets you go wherever you will But, unknowingly, death waited at the top of the hill A careless moment & a poor decision...quickly a life can be lost Someone else's mistake, but the innocent paid the ultimate cost There was no going back, a line forever crossed Life ceased in an instant, leaving a young family and friends behind In that moment, the word "tragedy" was clearly defined Life's priorities for the survivors were dramatically realigned Two lives...one's soul now vanished and gone, the other now saddled with guilt One's dreams destroyed, the future he hoped could be built The threads of life unraveled!!, into pieces enough to make a patchwork quilt The other's life too, forever changed even if he doesn't realize it yet This scene will play over and over in
