It's crazy to me how my core political belief is "don't kill people" and this really pisses people off from every corner of the political spectrum.

Verse of the Day - Isaiah 9:6

[wiirocku]

Isaiah 9:6 (NLT) - For a Child is born to us, a Son is given to us. The government will rest on His shoulders. And He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6 (AMP). “For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given; And the government shall be upon His shoulder, And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

John 16:33 (NIV). “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

“Our Prince of Peace” By In Touch Ministries:

“Jesus came to provide a way for us to have a relationship with our heavenly Father.”

“The Christmas rush is here. There are plans to make, gifts to buy, and parties to attend. These activities can leave us exhausted—instead of experiencing peace and joy, we may feel overwhelmed because there’s too much to do. What’s more, this time of year can bring sad memories and loneliness. And maybe unrealistic expectations or conflicts with loved ones leave us discouraged.

How can Jesus be our Prince of Peace when we feel everything but peace? To understand why the Lord was given this title, we must first understand what it means. Jesus did not come to do away with all conflicts—not yet, anyway. One day He will return to earth and rule as King in an environment of external harmony. But He said that in this present life, we’d have trouble (John 16:33).

When Christ came to earth, His goal was to bring us peace by reconciling us to the Father. His death on the cross paid our sin debt in full, and our relationship with God is restored. Now Jesus offers us divine peace—an inner serenity that fills our heart and mind no matter what is going on in our circumstances.

Is your life characterized by a quiet assurance that guards your thinking and emotions all day long? Try setting aside time each day to fix your eyes upon Jesus. Then let Him heal your heart and calm your spirit.”

Prince of Peace

Sometimes I wonder what Heaven is like:

Maybe there's a room for all the gamers and Jesus is really good at Mario kart

Or a garden full of beautiful flowers and trees where all the book lovers and artists go. And Jesus talks with them about the book or art they're working on.

And the children play games with Jesus all the time.

Just a thought....
