Put on the shoes of peace!
In Ephesians 6:10-17 the Apostle Paul describes the Armor of God. One of the most misunderstood pieces of equipment are the shoes of peace. I heard a pastor say recently that the only way the gospel can be presented in an effective way is when it is placed on a "footing" of peace. So often, we hear the gospel being used as a blunt instrument to bludgeon those who are not following "God's Way". I submit to you that this is one of the main reasons why the message of salvation is not taken more seriously. If we were to make peace instead of war we would cease to be a stumbling block to others getting to know the true, authentic Jesus.
So, as we embark on God's latest mission for us among the Sioux people I pray that we would all put on the SHOES OF PEACE!
Blessings in Yeshua!
