Are you a peace maker or a strife-builder?

Proverbs 26 reminds us, that, where there is no talebearer strife ceases, that without wood a fire goes out and quarrels disappear when gossip stops. But too many of us get ourselves entangled with gossip and lies and bitter wrangling, which robs us of our peace. My brothers and sisters in Christ, what is robbing you of your peace this morning? Lay aside all malice, hatred, jealousy, unforgiveness, gossip, lies, and vicious backbiting and reclaim your peace in Jesus name. Many times, we are not at peace because we are not satisfied with the things we have, we are covetous, we are jealous, we are envious, and we allow these feelings to overwhelm us, but I want to encourage you this morning, to lay them all aside and hold on to God’s peace, it will bring you joy unspeakable. Let us all pledge this morning to work for peace and build up one another.
