..that's taken from a quote in the US news, as one top official tried to describe why the US goes to war. We're Americans...we only play defense...
But ya know what? Defense gets awfully tricky when Christians are getting killed left and right. What do you do? How do you combat the violence? With prayer and peace.
I've never been fond of aggression. I've never thought to buy a gun. I got in a few fights as a kid, but never through my own choice. Why is it better to be peaceful? Because, folks....the body matters less than you think it does.
How do you think the real Christian masters deal with evil? Through prayer and friendship. Sound crazy? Especially that friendship part? Yes...you embrace your enemies. You tell them you will be there friend forever. No fighting. No scheming. Just some love whenever possible.
I have become incredibly good at keeping the peace. Life in my world is pretty stress-free. But that is because my wife and I don't fight. We discuss. My daughter and I don't fight. We negotiate. My business partners and I do not push each other. We let projects create themselves, through the inspiration of our most HIGH HOLY LORD.
The next time you're about to argue, or get upset, or anything else unsavory...just lie down and start praying. Even if it is on the floor and a crowd is around. You will be much surprised at how effective that is.
