Achieving Perfect Peace

If we did one simple thing that Jesus said to do (in a ten-word sentence), we would enjoy perfect peace and contentment.

 Similarly (and this is important to understand), we would be saved and enjoy perfect peace if we did what the prophet Jeremiah said in a ten-word sentence ...  several hundred years before the birth of Jesus.

Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32) ... free from fear and free to live in peace and harmony.

 Learn the truth! The Gospel that Jesus intended for us would bring peace and harmony to us, our families, our nation, and the very world itself—if only people understood, believed, and did what Jesus and other biblical teachers said.

Unfortunately, fundamentalism has had a stranglehold on the teachings of Christianity for about 2,000 years, and people are doing today what Jesus said people were doing about 2,000 years ago:  “Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. … Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition” (Mark 7: 7-9).

The commandments of men are false and misleading; they impede people from finding their way to God.

Learn the truth. Although Jesus was one of the greatest spiritual teachers, he did not walk on water. Believing things like Jesus walked on water and that he was God in human flesh have caused many to miss the message that Jesus and other biblical teachers intended for us.

 Peace versus War: We Have the Choice

Peace begets peace. War begets war. There is a desperate need for our leaders in Washington to change their mindset from war and the preparation for war to a vision of world peace.

Achieving peace by peaceful means — the only way to achieve a genuine, lasting peace — is far simpler to achieve than all the efforts of planning, preparing, and fighting wars.

Our politicians in Washington would have us believe that they are looking out for us; they are not. Many of the things our leaders do under the guise of being in the interest of national security are actually leading us down a path to being utterly wasted (language of the prophet Isaiah).

The prophet Isaiah left us the simple secret for achieving a genuine, lasting peace by peaceful means. And think about this:  The simple secret for achieving peace by peaceful means involves no causalities, no loss of lives, and the cost is insignificant.

As it is, our leaders in Washington have driven this great nation to the brink of bankruptcy. Our national debt is over 14 trillion dollars … and increasing rapidly. A tree cannot grow to the sky. Let’s face it! Our nation is in trouble, and we need a change in the mindset in Washington.  

For a clear explanation of how to have peace in the world, instead of wars and the threats of wars — instead of living in fear of the infamous 3 a.m. phone call — read  the following essay:

“Peace Versus War — We Have the Choice.”  It’s free; no strings attached.  Click here.

After reading this essay, you will appreciate what two former presidents said. Former President Abraham Lincoln said: “The way to destroy our enemies is to make them our friends.” Former president Woodrow Wilson said, “Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.”

If our leaders in Washington followed the wisdom of the prophet Isaiah, they would make friends with leaders of other nations, instead of stirring us the mire and dirt.
