One might think that our Churches and Religion would be a great gift of unity in today’s world. Yet, the reality is both have caused one of the worlds greatest Conflict Zones. Were it all recorded in books the largest library in the world would be needed to hold the records of conflict caused by religion.

How about our families? Even in the very best families every member is a descendant of Adam and Eve’s family tree. That gives us all our human gene of sin that has messed up our world. The family table with dad, mom, and children in the chairs sits smack dab in the center of a Conflict Zone. No two people are consistently in agreement. Minefields abound. I can’t wait for God’s new earth and the Good News We Will Live In A Conflict Free Zone Forever.
Once again, I find myself having lived eight decades of life and experienced tons more conflicts than I could have possibly imagined when I climbed onto the trail of life. I think of the Apostle Paul’s words to the Ephesian Christians that applies to all that I have written above.
Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy
Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you (Ephesians 4:29-32).
Just think about it. When King Jesus returns to Reign on our restored earth, we will experience the best news we have ever heard. It will be The Holy’s Good News We Will Live In A Conflict Free Zone Forever.
Stay tuned.
