Christ died to save this lost world; he did not come to destroy, maim or pour out wrath.

God has never, in the history of mankind, allowed His name to go long offended.

The cry for peace will increase according to scripture.

My oldest son, Gary, is a seasoned minister and travels with me for ministers' conferences.

Recently I prayed, "Lord, I want to know your peace at all costs. I won't listen to the devil's lies any longer. I know my salvation is not in my performance. No, Jesus, you alone plead my case. I rest in what you've done for me." Can you say the same by faith?

Worshippers aren't made when they see the enemy on the run, put to flight. The truth is, worshippers of God are made during dark, stormy nights. And how we respond to our storms determines just what kind of worshippers we are.

Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail-his love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in his Word. There is no other hope in this world.
