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!!

Have You Two Met? By: Maxine M. The Bible records how, on the Damascus Road, the risen Jesus MET the Pharisee Saul Stopping him in his zealous pursuit…blinded by the light, he heard the Saviour call Why!! are you persecuting Me by locking My servants in a prison stall Saul fell to the ground in astonishment & fear, retaining no strength at all “Who are You, Lord? What do You want ME to do?” he asked in trembling voice weak and small Oh, how that encounter altered his life…even changing his name to Paul The Bible also tells of Peter, who MET Jesus one day at his brother, Andrew’s request His nets were FILLED when fishing on the “RIGHT” side, as Jesus would suggest “I’ll make you a “Fisher of Men”, Peter, if your life, in ME you invest Oh, he had rough edges to smooth, words & instructions from the Lord to digest A change from what “I will do” to what the Holy Spirit said was best So from s...

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...

Where do YOU live? By: Maxine M. Some people love the countryside, while others in a big city want to be free Many prefer an arid desert, others the mountains…enjoy giant cactus or stately pine tree From the arctic to the tropics, God’s beautiful creation is there for all to see East coast, west coast, every continent is open for habitation to some degree It’s good we are a diverse people…to each their own we all agree And ALL people everywhere desire to live where they can live free But the ONE place it’s not feasible to live is in the PAST It’s unsuitable to sustain a healthy lifestyle…the exuberance of yesterday doesn’t last For yesterday is UNCHANGEABLE… “if onlys” “should haves” bring depression into the forecast Regret or remorse over things that could have been prevented at the time Or anger, bitterness, hostility…the result of being an innocent victim of crime Making “yesterday” a wilely pit, out of wh...
