A lesson that people should learn that peace is not a state of sitting around “on the couch”. Not is it a state that is kept by sitting around, nor is it found sitting around! Real peace requires seeking out, and requires active maintenance. The Holy Spirit is peaceful, but it is also a working Spirit. The kingdom of heaven is taken by force!(Mat11:12) Peace is an offensive concept and a conscience is a vigilant concept. But today our "conservatives" are neither offensive nor are the vigilant hence our problem. If we want to bring our communities and countries to peace, it will require us to get active. And if we want to keep our localities with Christ, then it will require that they have an active conscience. #reflection
