The peaceful life

In a world that longs for peace, for multitudes of people daily life is an unremitting round of violence and hostility.

Notes to Growing Christians David Jackman

It is seen at its most intense in the apparently insoluble conflicts which continue to engulf Syria and threaten the whole Middle East. But it is also played out in the myriad daily battles from the board room to the playground, and all stations in between, which mar and dominate so many relationships. It is precisely in this sort of world that the Bible tells us, \u2018the fruit of the Spirit is ... peace\u2019 (Galatians 5.22).
