There are times to take a stand, but it must be done peaceably. We never make peace by fighting. I'm glad we have peacemakers in this church. Peacemakers seek solutions and find no delight in arguments. Peacemakers calm the waters, they don't trouble them.
Peacemakers work hard to keep an offense from occurring.
And if it has occurred, they strive for resolution. Peacemakers lower their voice rather than raise them. Peacemakers generate more light than heat. We need more of them in the ranks of faith. Fifth, a peacemaker makes peace wherever he goes.
