Blessed are the peacemakers
Key Passage: Matthew 5:9
Date: June 7, 2024
Turn your Bibles, if you would, to Matthew chapter number five. Brother Ricky, would you close that door over there for us, please? I’d appreciate that. Matthew chapter number five in God’s word. We have been on the beatitudes. This is our seventh Sunday on that subject. And then next week will be missions.
And then the next week, we’re going to see most will say there’s, help me, how many is most, they say how many beatitudes there are? Most say eight. But there’s actually nine less. And so I don’t know if we’re going to divide that last one up or do what everybody is, lump them two together. But we’ll just find out about a couple weeks from now. So.
Just hang on to your false teeth. We’ll find out about that a little bit later on, all right, you know. But Matthew chapter number five, I’m already in the hole. You say, why is that? Well, we lost an hour of sleep. Oh, you can go ahead and say it, oh. Then we had breakfast in Sunday school. Yeah, you can say, hey, bad about that one. So you’ve got a sugar high, but now you’re on your low.
And so I’ve already, I just seen a lady already with her head on her husband’s shoulders. What about that? Brother Fontaine’s eyes, he just played in the right half mass already. What in the world is going on, you know? And this is amazing. Now look at this, look at this. We’ve got two men right in the line here. They’re twins. But y’all got to stand up and show everybody. Go ahead. Blue suits, blue shirts, red ties. Come on, come on.
Look at that. Look at that. They got the memo, man. They’re looking just like each other. I tell you what. So amen. Matthew chapter number five. And our series, How to Be Blessed, how to be blessed. And this is a little tougher one.
If y’all don’t mind, we’ll just read it, we’ll pray, and we’ll just dive right into it because you’re going to fall asleep pretty soon. I’ve got to get you before you fall asleep, all right? So would you stand out of respect the Word of God, if you would please, Matthew 5. And we’re going to start in verse number 9. We’re just going to read verse number 9. Would you read it out loud with me? Matthew 5. Here we go, verse number 9. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they should be called the children of God.
Let’s pray. Father, Lord, would you do a work? Lord, I would like to keep their attention, Lord. With all that, we need you working. And Lord, again, please don’t let me focus on preaching a good message. Lord, just forget about all that. Would you just help somebody? Or maybe a marriage, maybe relationship, maybe a testimony. Lord, would you help somebody today? Well, Lord, I do ask that someone here not saved. Father, I pray before they leave, that they’d be on the way to heaven. Lord, that’s one of your work. Would you do it, Father, I yield to you in that. Well, thank you for what you do, Lord. And we ask for this, Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
You may be seated. Blessed are the… Help me out. What does it say?
It doesn’t say peace keepers. It doesn’t say those that kind of wait for peace to come. It doesn’t say those that accept peace or they’re trying to kind of hold on to the peace in the house, whatnot, no. It’s more than that. The Bible says, blessed are the peacemakers.
It’s the only time of all the Bible that it uses peacemakers. Now, it talks about make peace a time or two. But peacemakers, it’s much harder once the peace is gone.
And feelings are already flowing and you’re a little mad and ticked off and they said this and you’re hurt over it and somebody did this. And there’s already, you know, whether it be, whether it be on social networking or whether it be in a husband-wife situation or whether it be in school or in the youth group or whether just amongst people, it’s harder when already the peace is gone.
And there’s emotions that are just flowing and there’s fear and there’s anger and there’s hurt and there’s pain. When all that’s going on, there’s no peace.
Now that’s what he’s talking about, peace makers, not peacekeepers. I’m for keeping peace, amen. But that’s not what he says. His blessed are the peacemakers. That takes it up a notch or two. A little tougher to do that.
Can I say this? It was the peacekeepers. It might be sometimes we talked a couple weeks ago about the fight or flight syndrome. And he’s going, man, I’m a flight person. I keep peace. Yes, you do keep peace sometimes, but sometimes in not talking, there’s ill feelings and there’s not really any peace. There’s just not any conflict, but there’s no real peace.
But he’s not necessarily talk about that here. He’s talking about blessed are the peacemakers. There’s no peace. There’s conflict. There’s hurt. There’s pain. There’s tears. There’s already been words said that should have been said. And this guy comes in and he makes peace. Y’all will be out there? Y’all got to help me out. I know you lost an hour. I know you don’t eat breakfast. Help me out. If I do like that, that’s like, would you say amen? Would you say amen?
Thank you. That’s like saying, “sick him” to a dog when you say amen to a preacher. You know, I need that all the time, actually.
Peacemakers. Spurgeon, a great preacher years gone by about this verse, he applied it to family, church, and the world. I’m going to kind of follow suit there just a little bit, okay? And it would be when a husband and wife—now I understand you husbands and wives out there, you never fight, I understand that. Now you have emotional moments when dishes are flying, I understand, but that’s not a fight, you know. But it would apply to that.
It would apply to our young people. All of our young people, if you’re 18 years or younger. Would you blow your nose? No, would you look up at me real quickly here? All those 18 years are younger. It may apply to you and your parents when you and your parents are at odds. And you have a disagreement with your parents. It would apply to you then. Everybody look up. Everybody look up. Look up. There you go. There you go. There you go. Look up. Peacemakers. It would be with you and your parents.
It would be inside the church family. You say, preacher, there’s never any issues inside the church family. Friend, you realize the devil is working at bringing no peace to the church more than anywhere in the world? Man, that’s right where he’s working. Because if he can get that, he’s, whoa, man, I got it. That’s God’s, God’s military headquarters in this old world. He’s always working at that.
When there’s problems and there’s a little bit, no peace, and it’s somebody that makes, it’s at work. When there’s no peace at work and there’s conflict and there’s bickering and there’s biting and complaining and the boss and the employees, and blessed are the peacemakers.
Now, let me give a couple thoughts about that, especially, let me just talk here for husbands and wife. How many have you ever heard this phrase? Raise your hand if you heard this. It takes two to tango. You ever heard that phrase? Now, I know it’s a little cliché, but there’s some truth to that. You said, well, I was under control. It still takes two to tango. You’re maybe the little bit more passive one. Maybe you’re controlling your words a little bit. But it still takes two to have a fight, if you will. Blessed are the peacemakers.
My old brother Howells used to say it just takes one good Christian to have a little peace in the marriage. Takes two to tango. Peacemakers. If I’m going to be a peacemaker, I’m going to have to use this term a lot. I can’t say, “I’m sorry if.” Don’t do that. “I’m sorry if.” If I said something wrong, I’m sorry. No, you might as well just kick that old sorry out the door, friend. “I’m sorry if.”
Listen, friend, just stop, stop trying to get your side across and your hurt across and your feelings across and what you think about it all and just forget all that and say, “I’m going to deal with my part.” Because typically, there’s both in the room. And you just focus on your part. “I’m sorry for my part.” You just leave all that aside. He said, “I’m going to be a peacemaker.” And you just focus on what you have done. Could you have been a better husband? Could you handle that situation a little better? And you just forget about what all they did to you and your side and you just say, “Hey, I’m just going to deal with me trying to make peace.”
Blessed are the peacemakers. Is that what it says or not, friend? That’s what the Lord Jesus Christ is talking about. Blessed are the peacemakers, they’re making peace. It’s when we stop trying to win the argument and we start trying to make peace. Oh, how many you like to win an argument? The rest of you’re not raising your hand. You’re lying, amen. I see somebody pointing his finger over his wife. You’re not going to win that argument. Sometimes you win the argument, but you lose the war. You know what I’m saying there, you know? That’s when you say, “Hang winning the argument. I want my marriage to win.”
Blessed are the peacemakers. You’re making peace. Sometimes it’s a matter of bridling your tongue. You know, the Bible talks about the book of James. If I don’t bridle my tongue, my religion is vain. I go to work and I’m talking about everybody at work and I’m talking about that guy while he does this and there’s that to complain about the boss just like everybody else. My religion’s in vain. I’m going to say that guy just like the rest of us. But make peace. Blessed are they that make peace, the peacemakers.
There’s a lot of different forms and how God leads you in them. It may be simply, you say, “You know what, our marriage needs some help. We’re going to get a third party involved and we’re willing to go to so-and-so for counsel and whatnot and kind of put ourselves under a third party.” It may be that you’re a third party for someone else. But blessed are the peacemakers.
It’s so important. Families, homes. Oh, we’ve got so much fussing and fighting in homes in our day and time. Blessed are the peacemakers in the home. Let’s talk about church for just a second. Look over, if you will, in Proverbs chapter number six. Proverbs chapter number six. Very interesting. I’ve known these verses for years by heart, a lot of them, but I notice some new things. I thought it was very interesting. Proverbs chapter six.
And Proverbs 6. And look in verse number 16, if you will. Proverbs 6:16. Praise Lord, I’ve only seen three people sleeping so far. We’re doing good today. I tell you what, now, you know. And amen, that’s pretty good to heal. All three ladies, but, you know, the men are doing pretty good.
Proverbs 6. Look at verse number 16. Proverbs 6. Look in verse number 16. “These six things let the Lord hate. Yea, seven are an abomination unto him.” He said these six, I hate those six things, but that seventh one, God says that’s just like extreme hatred. I can’t stand that, if you will. This is the Lord talking. Now let’s count them off. Let’s count them off.
Here, he starts to list them: A proud look. That would be what? Count them off with it. One. A lying tongue is two. Hands that shed innocent blood is three. And a heart that devises wicked imaginations is four. Feet that be swift in running to mischief. A false witness that speaketh lies. Here we go. Here’s the one that’s an abomination to God: And he that soweth discord among brethren.
How is that? He that soweth discord among… That’d be among the teen group. That’d be among the church family. That means, you know, if your relatives are Christian, be there. Why did God feel like he needed to put it at just very particular, they that sow discord among the brothers? Because Satan, that’s what he’s working at. Divide and conquer.
Let me give you this. I heard this from Jack Treber, a great preacher. He’s been pastor for years and years. Brother Treber, I think he’s so right. He said, “I’ll tell you what,” he said, “Satan is always after three relationships.” He’s after the husband-wife. If he’s got that, he’s got the home. He’s after the husband-wife. He’s after the dad and the children. Praise Lord for moms. Typically, they got that bond with their children. Praise Lord for that. Satan’s after that bond between the dad and the children, and then he’s after the relationship of a pastor and his people. And Satan’s always bombarding those three things. Man, he’s just after it.
I believe he’s right. That’s very interesting. He that soweth discord among the brethren. Twenty years, they don’t have it all figured out for sure. As soon as I think I’ve got it all figured out, God will change it, amen. But he that soweth. So often it’s not the person—he doesn’t say it’s an abomination to him, the person caught up in the discord. It’s not what it says. He that soweth the discord.
Well, how many are you going to plant a garden this year? You’re going to plant a garden? How many are going to plant a garden this year? We’ve got a couple of them there. We’ve got a couple. Oh, good, good, good. You put that seed in the ground. It might not come up for a month later. You might not get fruit from it for another month.
Now, God, it’s amazing, it’s amazing how God sees it all. He says that one that sowed just seeds, seeds. He that sowed discord, seeds of discord. Ever seen… You ever seen it just seems like somebody can walk through a thing and they walk—they get to the other side through a crowd of people and they’re fine, but everybody back there’s fighting? You’re like, man, what just happened there? They’re fighting. Well, sometimes somebody just sowed it. They’re way on the other side. You know, God sees all that.
God says, “Hey, it’s just an extreme hatred God has for people that sow discord.” It’s always sad to hear of a good church and they got discord. A lot of times you hear about this person, this person. I wonder so often, it’s probably not even them. They’re just dealing with the effect often of someone else that’s sowed discord. They’re just reaping the harvest. Now, that’d be the opposite of making peace. When all that’s going on and somebody’s throwing some discord and you’ve got to deal with that, somebody’s got to come along and say, “Hey, I’m going to, in the midst of all that, I’m going to make some peace.” That’s the people Jesus is talking about. Blessed are the peacemakers. Very important.
Oh, friend, we’ve got to continue our building. We’re about to praise the Lord. We’re about to move on the new property. And in the Lord’s time, we’re going to build that new building. I’m excited about March 29th, our first service on the new property. Woo, that’s going to be a good day. I mean, we’re going to have that tent set up, have church underneath the tent. We’re going to make sure those kids—they’re going to have service over there in the detention pond, right there. They’re going to swim all during service. Pray it don’t rain on that new property now, you know. And the nursery, we’re going to find someplace for the nursery. I don’t know where, but we’re going to find a place, you know. But we’re going to have nursery there. It’s going to be a great day.
And it’s exciting. The new building. By the way, anyone notice someone put some lights up for our side? You did you notice that? Boy, it looks so good at nighttime. Oh, yeah, it’s a blessing. The man in church has got burdened about it. And I appreciate it so very much. It looks great. My boy, you talk to someone, I guarantee you talk to our pastor friend. He knows, man, you start a building program. Woo, look out. Satan’s going to do all he can to sow that discord. Praise Lord, we’ve got a good church, good church family. We’ve got to guard against that. And I’ve got to say, I want to be peacemakers in this thing. Help me out. Blessed are the peacemakers.
Oh, friend, can I encourage you at work? Don’t get caught up in the drama. Can I say young people? Can I say young people? Don’t get caught up in the drama of school. You’re not going to be called the children of God if you’re caught up in all the drama, the fussing and the fighting. But the guy, the lady, the young person, the man, the adult, the parent, the child that goes out, I’m going to make peace in a bad situation. Here’s the thing: Those are the people that says there’s something different about them. That’s why it says, “For they shall be called the children of God.”
I don’t think it’s talking about the Lord calling you His child. In fact, being a peacemaker doesn’t make you a child of God. Jesus Christ makes you a child of God. Amen. Not talking about that. He’s talking about you’re called a child of God. You’ve heard it said that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. When you go out, you’re making peace in an unpeaceful world.
I remember when I was a young person working at a machine shop and a metal fabrication shop in Florida and walking in. There’s a man in the machine shop you had to travel through there and typically didn’t work there, but it’s a good Christian man and he just always had a smile and seemed like he brought peace to the machine shop up front. To this day, that’s been—let me see here, I’m 32 years old now, so that’s been—that’s been, I don’t know, 30 years ago, and I still think that’s a good Christian, it’s a good godly man. That’s what you’re saying: Blessed are the peacemakers. They’re making peace. They’re where they go, they’re going to be known, they’re going to be called the children of God. You know why that is? The world can’t do that. They can kind of keep peace sometimes. And they have a hard time.
Now, I want you notice this, we’ve got to hurry along. We’ve got so much to do, but you’ve got so much breakfast in you. Amen, you know, we’ve got an hour of sleep. And I don’t want you to gain that hour back right now, you know. But it’s very interesting. This one in particular of the order, if you look up on that verse right before, verse number nine, look at verse number eight there. We preached about last Sunday morning: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
You see, here’s the thing. Okay. You know, you get hurt most by those you’re the closest to. Boy, and you’re going to be close to your mate if you’re married very long. You’re going to be close to them. So you get hurt. And boy, those ill feelings and that hurt and that just—you’re bleeding inside and the anger and the pain and you’re, you know, and you’re mad. Now, wait a second. So you’re going to have to go to the Lord. I said, “God, man, my heart’s not pure right now. Can’t help it. I’ve heard it’s all about me and what’s going on in my side.” And you have to really let the Lord clean your heart up and then blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall what? What’s going to happen to pure in heart?
Now here’s the thing: When you get a good glimpse of God—remember last week we talked about it? You’re going to go see the doctor. And you see God, you have an appointment, you get to go in His office and He says, “Yeah, there’s some changes need to go on here and some,” and He heals your heart, and He does a work in your heart, and you get to see God. Now you can go out in a situation where there is no peace and make peace.
But you’re not really ready to be a peacemaker until you’ve seen God. Before that, we’re so often about our hurts and our wounds and our side and what you did and what you said and all the rest of that. But when you get a meeting with God, God’s the one that brings healing in there. And now you can go out there and say, “Hey, I just want to make peace. I give up my rights to all my side.” The world doesn’t have that in them. That’s why the world, then they say, “That right there, that’s a Christian right there. They’re a child of God,” because you’re making peace.
Can I say this? It’s a sad thing when Christians are creating no peace. They’re not going to have the best testimony at work. But that guy goes around work and he makes peace and those other people say, “Man, that guy’s got something. He’s not been talking about the boss and he’s not been talking about so-and-so and what they did. Man, they just make peace everywhere they go.” And they’ll say, “Hey, I want him praying for my uncle when he’s sick. Granny’s about to die. That guy’s been making peace. I know something different about him. I want to go to him and get him praying for me, my granny.” They’re called the children of God because they got something different because they’ve seen God. They got the heart purified by the blood of Jesus Christ. They’ve seen the Lord.
There’s a preacher. I was speaking with him a couple weeks ago at the preacher’s meeting, just on the other side of the Kentucky line up in Kentucky. I’m going to get in trouble. I won’t mention anything about Tennessee basketball and Kentucky basketball recently. I won’t say anything about that because we’re not even ranked and y’all are, so amen. But I was in Kentucky and a preacher, an older gentleman.
An older gentleman, he said his wife has passed. He’s maybe in his 80s, 70s, 80s. And I never met him before, shook his hand, preacher’s conference fellowship, whatnot. And he said, “Let me tell you how I got saved.” He said, “My wife got saved. I wasn’t saved.” He said, “She was a pretty lady, a pretty—just like an older man told me by his wife that’s in heaven now. She said she was a French lady, beautiful.” Show me her picture.
“Hey, let me tell you, I got saved,” he said. “She was saved. She had talked to me. I wouldn’t get saved.” And he said, “One night, me and my buddies were out hunting. And he said, we came in around 3 a.m., if I remember right. And he said, I went and I woke my wife up. She said, ‘Hey, you think you’d come out?’ She said, ‘That wasn’t mean, rude.’ He said, ‘We’ve been drinking, but I wasn’t belligerent.’ And I just said, ‘Hey, think you’d wake up and cook something?’” And she said, “Hang on. Give me a minute or two. I’ll do it.”
And she came out at 3 a.m. and made food for those men. You call that making peace, ladies? And he said, he said, “I heard one of my friends say to her, ‘How can you do this? He came in with his buddies at 3 and we’ve been drinking.’”
And the preacher, the older man, whose wife’s gone to heaven now, he said, “I heard her say this.” She said, “Well, the way I figure it, he won’t get saved.” She didn’t say it mean, hateful, he said, but she said—and I’m paraphrasing as close as I can in the way I remember—she said, “You know, when he dies, all he’s got to look forward to is hell. I figure I might as well try to give him the best life I can down here because if something don’t change, you’re going to go to hell.”
He said, “She’s got something different than me, if you will, for they should be called the children of God.” Praise Lord, he got saved a little bit after that. Been a missionary in Canada for years and years. His whole life started churches in Canada. Somebody’s a peacemaker and he said something different right there. They should be called the children of God.
Now let me just give a little tidbit in there for our society and our day and time. God is not for peace at any cost. Okay, y’all with me out there? God does not make peace with the devil. That’s probably just the easiest way to debunk that. No, God’s not going to lower His standards of righteousness and holiness.
Heard of a wife—true story, amazing story. Her husband just went berserk and he took an elementary school hostage, literally with a bomb. And his wife followed him in it for the sake of peace. True story. Now, God’s not for that. No, the Bible’s not for peace at any cost. Romans 12 says, “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” In other words, there’s going to be times you can’t have peace with some people as much as lieth in you, it’s possible.
By the way, I’m not going to give up on—if somebody—I’m not going to go start a fight with him, but I’m not going to give up on the King James Bible. Not peace at any cost. Salvation is by the grace of God, no works included in that. Somebody disagrees. They want to argue with me. I’m going to try to make peace, but I’m not going to change on it to make peace. It’s not peace at any cost, you understand.
Oh, friend, when I begin to go out to this world and make peace, they’re like, they’re going to be called—they shall be called the children of God. You know, God’s the one that makes peace. He brings peace. In fact, 1 Corinthians 14:33, He’s the author of peace. He’s the Prince of Peace.
Let me just change gears just for a second here. Jesus is the greatest peacemaker. You see, the most important peace anyone ever has is their relationship with God. And because we’re all sinners, we all have sin—it doesn’t matter how old, what color you are, if your hair stands up straight or it lays down flat, it doesn’t matter—if we’re all sinners, we’ve all got some sin in our life. And because of our sin, there’s emptiness between us and God. God said, “I can’t look at that sin. We’re separated. There’s no peace between us and God.”
You see, if God were to just say, “Well, let me—let me just take all your sin and I’ll sweep it under the rug. We won’t worry about it.” Then God would not be a just God. See, a judge—a judge’s job, he is not supposed to make up the law per se. He’s supposed to say, “We’re going to keep the law, and you broke that law, and this is the punishment.” That’s what a just judge is supposed to do. See?
So God, if He just swept—“We won’t pay any attention to your sin”—He would not be a just God. He would no longer be God. But here’s the thing: God Almighty, He said, “Yes, you’re condemned, you’re a sinner, you’re guilty.” But God, in His love, if you will, He said, “Let me take my robe of a judge off and let me come down to humanity. Let me come down there.” God in flesh, Jesus. The greatest peacemaker there ever has been. Jesus came down and took your sin on Him.
And He went to an old rugged cross. You see, because the Bible says—help me out with this—the Bible says the wages of sin is what? Death. And so Jesus said, “I’ll die,” and He paid that debt. And my Jesus, going to that old cross with all my sin, He became the greatest peacemaker there ever has been, ever will be. And see, if someone comes to Jesus Christ and puts their faith in Him, then that separation between them and God can be made peace. That’s why the Bible says—oh, it’s Romans 5:1—“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” You can have peace because of Jesus with God Almighty.
That’s what the Bible says in Ephesians 2:13: “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.” He brings peace between you and God. He’s our daysman. He’s our mediator. He’s the greatest peacemaker there ever has been.
Here’s a neat thing about it. When I become a peacemaker, blessed are the peacemakers. Can I tell you real quickly the greatest way to be a peacemaker? Look at your neighbor if they’re sleeping, slap them real quick. All right, we just got three eye injuries in here, you know. Let me tell you how to be the best peacemaker you can be. All those things that I just said are all true, but let me show you how you can be a great, great peacemaker.
Oh, let me see. Which one of you guys want to be my volunteer? Anybody? They’re pointing this way. They’re not peacemakers, they be? He said he wanted to? He’s lying to you. Would you help me out? Come on. Help me out. What’s it? Ezekiel. Thank you, Zeke. You told me about 340 times. Let me tell you how Ezekiel can become the best peacemaker. If Ezekiel, if it goes—let’s see here—he goes, we’ll say what goes over, Brother Anthony. We’ll say Brother Anthony is not saved. Praise the Lord, he is saved. Ms. Gator says, “Amen,” because he’s not saved, he has no peace with God. So the Bible says there’s no peace to the wicked. If you’re not saved, you’re in sin. We’re all wicked inside of God. We’ve got sin.
Zeke comes over and says, “Hey, Brother Anthony, let me tell you about Jesus.” Can you say that? “Let me tell you about Jesus.” He introduces him to Jesus. Brother Anthony says, “Man, He took my sin. I can have peace with God.” Even though, I mean, Brother Anthony was drunk last night. He beat Ms. Gator. No, I’m joking. All that. No, that’s true, you know that. But he can have peace with God. Ezekiel had a part in him having the greatest peace of anybody in the world with God for all eternity.
Now, if Ezekiel goes over here and we’ll say Mike and Robin are fighting with each other, and he says, “Mike, stop being mean to her.” And he says, “Yeah, you’re right, Zeke. I need to quit that.” And Robin, “Stop poking him in the eyeball with ice picks,” all right? And they stopped fussing and fighting for 20 years. He brought some peace. But if he comes over here and he leads just one person to the Lord, he gave them peace not with just each other, but with God for all eternity. So if you want to be a peacemaker, the best thing you do is start telling people about Jesus. That’s the greatest peace. That’s why Jesus—the angels went over there, introduced it to the shepherds and said, “Hey, peace on earth, goodwill toward men.” Jesus is the greatest peacemaker ever was. Thank you, sir. Let’s give Ezekiel a hand. Thank you, Zeke.
We’re out knocking on doors. I remember that Anthony and the man said, “My nine-year-old daughter, my nine-year-old daughter told me how to go to heaven, how to get saved.” He said, “She knew her stuff.” He got saved because his nine-year-old daughter. His nine-year-old daughter became a great, great peacemaker. We got some people in here. He called me yesterday. He said, “You know, my nephew, been praying for him for a long time for him to get saved. He called me last night. He wants to talk about getting saved. He’s supposed to come by this morning. Would you pray?” That’s the greatest way to get involved in this making peace. “For they shall be called the children of God.”
