Our peace of mind must be based on God’s passionate love for us, not on the state of the world around us. We must receive that unconditional peace (which only comes from God) before we can become peacemakers. We must experience the fact that the world can’t give us peace, only Jesus can.

Our peace of mind must be based on God’s passionate love for us, not on the state of the world around us. We must receive that unconditional peace (which only comes from God) before we can become peacemakers. We must experience the fact that the world can’t give us peace, only Jesus can.
A false peacemaker tries to cover up and deny that conflicts exist. Being a true peacemaker means doing as the Prince of Peace did, speaking the truth in love. Being a peacemaker doesn’t mean getting everyone to act nice to each other. In fact, it is impossible to be a peacemaker without making enemies.

"I am a podrishioner that just wanted to say thanks for sharing Woodland Hills through podcasts and videos. This is my place to get a spiritual refill, and it’s where I get most of my teaching from. Since I've starting following you four years ago, my view on God, myself and other people has radically been changed. Thanks so much, and keep sharing the Kingdom!"
