Thrive Not on Chaos

"If possible, insofar as it is possible, be at peace with all men."

This exhortation, spoken and written long ago by the Christian apostle, Paul, is a timely truth for us now.

Furthemore, our President, Joe Biden, has called for peace among us, Americans. Listen:

On September 2, 2022, our President spoke to our people, We the People of the United States, with a timely and bold message. At one point he addressed his words to those, our countrymen, who "thrive on chaos."

Joe Biden admonished us to choose a different path, a better path, the path of peace, because, he pointed out:

"This is a nation that honors our Constitution. We do not reject it. . .This is a nation that rejects violence as a political tool. . . We cannot allow violence to be normalized in this country. . .

"We the People see politics, not as total war--but as mediation of our differences."

As I listened to President Biden's message, just now, days later, his message reminded me of the exhortation written long ago,  for me and for all my Christian brethren:

"If possible, insofar as it is possible, be at peace with all men."

If, however, you do not profess, as I do, the gospel of Jesus Christ, perhaps you will allow me to remind us of the words spoken long ago by our President John Kennedy, when I was a young man, in the early 1960's:

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what, together, we can do for the freedom on Man."
