Things That Promote Peace
“Let us therefore follow after the things which promote peace, and things wherewith one may edify another” - Romans 14:19
- Be careful to LOVE one another with a true heart. “Love covers a multitude of sins.”
- Avoid a spirit of ARGUMENT AND DEBATE. One may win an argument and lose a friend.
- Beware of JEALOUSY. Jealousy destroys happiness and builds suspicion.
- Beware of ENVY. Let us learn to rejoice in another’s gifts, blessings, and happiness. God gives as HE will!
- Do not MEDDLE in the private lives and domestic affairs of others.
- Guard against a TOUCHY TEMPER: “For every trifling thing to take offense shows either great pride or little sense.”
- Learn to KEEP A CONFIDENCE. “He that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.”
- Strive to HEAL DIFFERENCES. “Blessed are the peacemakers.”
- Be always ready to FORGIVE ANYTHING. “Forgive us our sins AS we forgive those who sin against us.”
Henry Mahan (1926-2019) served as a teacher and pastor of 13th Street Baptist Church in Ashland Kentucky, USA.
