Peace Through Jesus Christ

Contributed by Charles Mallory on May 5, 2013

Perfect peace is found only in Jesus Christ by developing an intimate relationship with Him. Two ways to help with that is developing our prayer life and being obedient to Him.

Shalom! Peace! Jesus offers us the gift of his peace. Pope Benedict XVI, said of this, “Here, the traditional greeting with which people wish one another shalom, peace, becomes something new: it becomes the gift of the peace that Jesus alone can give because it is the fruit of his radical victory ...read more

Worthy To Approach Jesus

Would You Ask Jesus To Leave?

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jun 23, 2013

When we cling to and refuse to forsake sin, habits, and less than admirable behavior, we are asking Jesus to leave us. Jesus wants to "cast out" those behaviors in our life if we'll let him.
