The Mark of Peace
As we discuss the third mark of authentic Christians, we complete the first triad of love, joy, and peace. These three graces were often grouped together by Paul and other early Christians. Some say they cover the whole range of Christian existence. The fabric is built up, story upon story. Love is the foundation, joy is the superstructure, and peace the crown of all. Peace - (Hebrew: shalom; Greek: eirene) The Hebrew shalom occurs more than 250 times in the Bible. It is rich in meaning. It is used as a courteous greeting, an expression of health and well-being, safety, good relations between peoples and nations, quiet tranquilility and contentment, friendship, wholeness, soundness, and completeness. It also has theological implications. God is described as shalom (Judg. 6:24) and as the only true source of it. Shalom is a description of one's future with God. The Greek eirene in classical literature denoted the opposite of war or conflict. Later, it came to describe a harmonious state of mind, an imperturbability that could exist irrespective of external circumstances. In the NT it became vested with the overtones of meaning from shalom as well. The distinctive difference about eirene in the NT is its mediation through Jesus Christ.

Faith Is Worth It
No one denies it—we live in a world where bad things happen. This has caused more than a few to reject faith. Yet, the Bible does not portray the faith life as trouble free. Far from it. Virtually all Bible characters were beset by trials. Yet, in spite of it all, they considered faith their greatest asset. That is true of most who have ever lived lives of faith. If you have never tried faith, you should. Its better than any alternative. Gen 14, 21; 1Sam 17; 2Sam 11-15; Acts 9; Acts 19:11-12; Acts 20:7-12; 2Cor 11:23ff; Jn 16:33; Psalm 23, 62; Php 3:5-14
