We live in a world where issues of terror and impending war are the topic of conversation everyday.
What can we do to respond to the current discussion of war? How can we make a
difference in the way people reflect on the idea of war and violence? Can peace
overcome the conflict the world is experiencing during a time of confusion and
turmoil?
We are all in the same boat when it comes to fear, especially when we are
not sure what it is we should afraid of. Perhaps we should look at the conflicts in our everyday lives. Maybe we should seek out a way to get rid of personal agendas that create conflict with friends and family.
We may not be able to change the state of world peace but we can make a difference in our own lives. We can also gather together with friends and family to pray for a
peaceful resolution to the world's problems.
Remember that you are not alone in this confusing and sometimes overwhelming
craziness. Disciples Now has created a number of links to help you reflect upon issues of
impending conflicts in the world.
