    Learning to walk in the peace that surpasses all understanding takes time and understanding. This message teaches us that we can choose to walk in the peace of Christ and not be troubled by the worries of the world.

    Peace is a very familiar word. It is a word we hear all the time and a word that describes a feeling of contentment and rest that few of us manage to walk in every day. Yet, that is exactly what we Christians are called to do. Walk in peace every day regardless of our outward circumstances. Look ...read more

    Religious traditions are dangerous. We can easily be satisfied by them. Passified by them so that we go to sleep and do not follow God's call. May God deliver us!
