The Secret to Great Peace

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them” (Psalm 119:165 KJV). Several years ago I sat in a seminar with a very well-known speaker.

I Don’t Care

Some people have everything. But I don’t. I don’t have a care and I don’t want one! In Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary, the main definition for care is “to be anxious,” and the variations of the definition all have to do with a degree of anxiety. But as Christians, we are told in Philippians 4:6

Fear will paralyze you and keep you from the victory that God has planned for you. Fear is a spirit and the spirit of fear is not from God (2 Timothy 1:7). Peace is a show of confidence. Peace is the outward manifestation of an internal confidence and confidence is the manifestation of pure faith.

How Do I Know If It’s God?

“God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints” (1 Corinthians 14:33).

God’s Road Map to Peace for You

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). God has a plan for your future. His plan is good and the path to your destination is paved with peace. Along the path are

The Hidden Power of Shalom

There was a lady that Jesus healed who had an issue of blood. In other words, she had a female problem. She had this problem all of her life. However, she knew that if she could touch Jesus, she would be healed. All through the New Testament, the people Jesus touched got healed. There was
