Peace

Robert F. Turner
Burnet, Texas

Karl Von Clausewitz is quoted in Reader's Digest as saying, "A conqueror is always a lover of peace. He would like to make his entry into our state unopposed."

And the promoters of innovations in the worship and work of the church manifest the same love for peace. The error is taught, the church treasury is used to support it, but "we must have peace"  meaning, "keep quiet, do not oppose our pet projects."

It is forgotten, or ignored, that our first obligation is peace with God; and this kind of peace demands that we be at war with error. Freedom from strife must not be traded for freedom to strive for peace with God.
