Too often we seek to mold people's opinions without melting them first. There are those who when they witness let the chips fall where they may. Some respond to this tactic, but this does not make it right. I don't deny that there are times to point out the sins of another, but it had better be spoken from a broken heart with tears, without judgement. That is a witness of the Spirit's power of love.
Peace is more than the absence of war.
We can have an inner peace that will be a great witness to others during times of turmoil, whether it be personal tragedy or a world crises. That is why it is called a peace that passes understanding. It is confidence that God is in control and is leading you in the best paths that you can take even though you do not understand why. I was in the city of Munich, Germany. With me were a couple of acquaintances with whom I did not have a close relationship.
