6 Things To Know This Week

Yesterday was Veteran's Day. It is a day we honor all of our veterans of the armed forces. We thank those who have served and sacrificed. Yet, we also look forward to the day when we will no longer need the armed forces. We yearn for the day when peace covers the earth. God's peace! The peace that breaks down all barriers and rights every wrong. God's peace that exists everywhere that God reigns. And this peace will know no end. "Come Lord Jesus. Bring your permanent perfect peace that passes all understanding!"
