Peace Man PDF E-mail
Funny, there are peace signs on shirts, people wear them on their ears and even have them as tatoos.  However, wearing a peace sign does not mean someone has peace.  They might want it for themselves or for their family or for the world but it takes more than wearing something to really have it.  Some people are so desparate for peace they will take various chemicals to have some pseudo-peace.  Of course, when the chemicals wear off the anxiety returns.  There is no doubt that some anxiety is chemically induced and people need help but the fact is much of our anxiety is the result of ignorance or wrong thinking.  We have the resources for peace.  Jesus promised this, He provided for it, in fact He even said we could have His peace and He said that on the night in which He was betrayed.  That kind of peace is not just "personality."  That kind of peace comes from embracing and living in light of what is true.  The Lord Jesus says we may have peace, Sunday's message will address this further.  What have you found helpful in knowing God's peace?
