Can the CHURCH really be a peacemaking forum?

Another classic from Peacemaker Ministries:

Can the Church be a Peacemaking Forum?

To tempt you with just a smidgen from it:

“Some will say that the typical church today doesn’t have the resources to provide this level of care for its members. We don’t believe that this is a legitimate excuse. At the foundation of our conviction is Christ’s promise that his church would be built and the gates of Hell could not and would not prevail against it. Do you believe this is true of the church? Is the body of Christ that strong? If it is, then this excuse is not credible. One of the most common and frequent accusations brought by unbelievers against the church today is the charge of hypocrisy. Is the church ready to prove the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit by truly being the body of Christ—by exercising Christ-like authority to resolve conflicts and disputes among her own members?”

Hope you enjoy!

(And hope I make it home tonight. I’m in my first of three airports for the day and the snow always makes air travel iffy. Here’s hoping!)

(Oh! And hi Tennessee! Thanks for the wonderful weekend.)
