       God is holy and righteous and cannot let sin go unpunished. But anyone can accept Jesus’ sacrifice of Himself on the cross for payment for sins, any and all sins done in this life, and gain eternal life and peace with God. That’s the good news today. If you would like to receive Jesus today as your personal Lord and Savior, then please follow my lead in this prayer: God, I have sinned greatly in my life, doing many things against you and against others. I have not followed good ways, but I have have followed the ways of this world, the ways of your enemy. But today, I turn from my sin and want to accept Jesus’ way of doing things. I want him to be my Head, my guide from now on. I believe Jesus did die for me and rose from the dead, and is alive with you today. Father, please change me, and make me become more like Jesus. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

       In fact, today, maybe you’ve been listening to what I have been talking about. Maybe you’ve identified some of these problems in your own life, areas where you lack peace, but you don’t know God, you don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus, and you don’t know where to go from here. Well, right now, I’m going to tell you how you can come into a personal relationship with God, how you can be set free from your sins, the things you’ve done in your life against God and others, and how you can gain eternal life today. It is true that God sent his Son to the earth, 2,000 years ago, and he died on a cross in our place, so all humans could come to know God and be at peace with him. God does indeed want everyone to be in a personal relationship with him. He doesn’t want to be separated from anyone, and he doesn’t want to have to judge anyone for their sins. He takes no pleasure in sending people to Hell, but he must do so for those who refuse to accept his free gift. God is holy and righteous and cannot let sin go unpunished.

Peace Taker #15- Double-Mindedness, Part 2 (TMF:703)

       The way we overcome this type of thinking is by making decisions in our minds, and not shifting from that decision once we’ve made it based on our emotions. Unless we later find out externally we are wrong in our thinking, we have to continue to believe in our decision. This produces peaceful minds. God doesn’t like it when we move back and forth on a matter. Especially when he has given us insight into something, he wants us to believe him and not shift back and forth, thinking this way and then thinking that way. This can definitely make God angry over time. He wants us to have faith and believe him in the truth that he has revealed to us. And, like James has told us, if we shift back and forth and doubt, we cannot expect to receive what we need or want from God. This is because we wont stay consist in believing him, and he becomes unable to fulfill our request, or becomes delayed in doing so. God wants to give us things, and we need to trust him and get out of his way so that he can.

       Number fifteen: Not making up our minds about what we want. “For the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways” (James 1:6-8, ESV). Double-mindedness is probably one of the greatest peace thieves that exist. All of us have been double-minded about one thing or another in our lives. A great danger for us, though, is when we cultivate a double-minded attitude in minds, becoming indecisive about most things. It’s so easy to go from thinking one way about something, and then later in the day to thinking another way about the same matter. The way we overcome this type of thinking is by making decisions in our minds, and not shifting from that decision once we’ve made it based on our emotions. Unless we later find out externally we are wrong in our thinking, we have to continue to believe in our decision. This produces peaceful minds.

       We need to realize that everything we have in a gift from God. When we realize that truth, we can appreciate the things that we have more. And this gives us peace. It isn’t wrong to want to obtain more, but just remember that obtaining more will not give you more peace. If anything, it will take away peace because the more we have, the more we have to be concerned about. There is great peace in simplicity, in having less. King Solomon has taught us, “Though a man lives a thousand years twice over but doesn’t find contentment—well, what’s the use?” (Ecclesiastes 6:6, TLB). Being content with what we have—taking a look at it and appreciating it more—will give us more peace. Advice I have for you is when you are about to buy something new, consider how you will use it and whether, in reality, you really believe that you need it. Think about where the item will be a couple weeks after you buy it, and what that will be like. When I do this, I find that at least half of what I was about to buy, what I thought I needed, I really didn’t need. And this saves me money, and gives me more peace because I am spending less of what I make.
