In the Name of Peace and Quietness

Fellow Labourers-

Can you handle this- "Into every generation and every life, Jesus comes to upend and disrupt the status quo. He is not dull. And he calls those who would follow him to forsake self-righteousness and the pride of piety. Like those before us, would we instead do away with God in the name of peace and quietness? The journey to Golgotha is lined with the righteous as well as with sinners."

How about this- "His was a righteousness of compassion and not sacrifice, of reconciliation with offended brothers and sisters, of faithfulness and not lust, of commitment to spouses and not divorce, of keeping one's word and repaying evil with good.(2) His was a righteousness that pierced straight to the heart transforming mind, body, and action. His was a righteousness that did not maintain peace and quietness."

Pax Vobiscum,

Robert A. Stewart J.P.
Pastor
