The Heat is On

Just in case you ever wondered, Fresno, California is one hot casa.  Whew.  I am here for a Peacemaker conference.  I would like for our church to become a church with a culture of peace.  It is difficult to serve the lord, teach discipleship, reach people for the Lord, and at the same time continually deal with Christian people who can not or will not get along.  

I pray with Jesus, that we might be one, as he and the Father are one.  Would that be fantastic or what.

When I was in Israel, you often heard the phrase “pray for the peace of Jerusalem.”  Looking into the meaning of the name, Jerusalem, it probably means “foundation of peace.”  The city called the foundation of peace is one of the most unpeaceful cities in the world.  

Having to pray for peace among Christians because we can’t get along is along the same line.  Anyway, that is why I am in Fresno.
