Be at peace with one another
One of the biggest challenges we have face over the last few years is how to maintain peace amongst us.
So many opportunities to disagree on.
and disagreement can often rob us of our peace,
it doesn’t have too, but we often allow it!
So how do we be at peace with one another as the BIble commands?
Let’s pray
There is a distinction made here bewteen having inner peace and having peace between each other.
Inner peace comes from God and does not need to reflect the relational aspect
What I mean by this, is the peace God gives us is not dependant upon your situation.
We can still have peace in the storm
It really boils down to trusting God at His word
def Peace
a state of tranquility or quiet
I’ve associated Peace with rest.
Have you ever noticed its very hard to rest when your not at peace.
but when your at peace rest comes naturally
To maintain the peace Jesus giveyou really only have to believe 2 things:
#1 If you believe God is Good,
#2 He is working everything out for our good
If you truly believe these 2 statements
Its very easy to be at peace.
If the enemy can convice you that either of these 2 statements are NOT true for you
Its very difficult to walk in the peace the Jesus gives us.
Great advice to maintaining internal peace.
But that’s not the aspect of peace I want to focus on today.
Be at Peace with one another
rather I want to to talk about the command to be at peace with one another.
so far as it depends on you
peace between 2 requires 2 people wanting peace,
if 1 doesn’t want peace, then there will be no peace.
How to be at peace with one another
I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s.”
–Mark Twain
“Never discuss politics or religion in polite company.”
The thinking is simply this, if we don’t talk about it then we don’t give rise to disagreement
I know this is a stance many of you take.
if we don’t talk about it we can all remains friends
“The way to remain at peace is to just not talk about it”
There’s a problem with that!
not only is it easy for a person to remain is a deceitful state.
it give room for the enemy to operate in what’s not being said.
when the conversation is avoided division has already taken place.
The key to mainatining peace between people is not to avoid the converation
but rather to honor each of the people involved in the discussion.
We will have disagreements.
you put 3 Christians in a room you come out with 4 opinions
And yes disagreements can lead to divsion and seperations.
but only when honour is removed can that happen
When you value being right over the relationship
you will have division.
But if you honor one another it is possible to have the tough conversations
and likely both parties will be better for it
Pastor Trevor spoke on honor on Oct 23 if you need a refressher on it
So How can we have peace with one another and not just put our head in the sand.
1. watch what you say
Speak truth in Love
It’s not true because you saw it on facebook, or heard about it around the watercooler
its only true if it comes from God’s lips
Truth can be a detructive weapon if not weilded in love.
take a second and think about what your want to say, then ask God to help you say it in a way that would be best received
2. Listen to their perspective
One of the biggest problems in society today is many want to be heard but very few want to listen
the thing is the person speaking isn’t the one learning!
3. Fellowship with like minded people
I’m not taking about an isolation bubble like twitter and facebook
where the agorithim causes people to believe everyone thinks the way they do, because thats all they ever see
The way you sharpen a blade is by removing part of the blade
you grind it down till its edge is uniform
that’s what makes it sharp
spending time with Godly people to help you scrape off some bad ideas
4. Exercise Godly wisdom
Know what to say and when to say it.
that’s wisdom.
5. Mind Your business
One of the biggest issues today is people want to fix the world before they’ve fixed their own life.
maybe you try to fix your spouse before you make yourself right
6. don’t be offended easily
7. Agree to disagree
Sometimes you just can’t come to an agreement.
that’s OK
NOt only are we called to have peace towards one another, but we are also called to stand in the Gap for others without peace.
We are to be peacemakers
Peacemakers
One of my roles as a pastor is to be a peacemaker.
where it during marriage counselling
or family counselling
I often get to be right in the middle of a conflict.
let me tell you this. the only way to survive that is by allowing the Holy spirit to mnister through you.
You have that calling as well,
