Send us a text All Peace Ain’t Good Peace “Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!” - Luke 12:51 The Roman Empire celebrated itself for bringing “peace” to the world. But its Pax Romana was built through military domination and sustained by brutal violence and its threat. Bow to the emperor or face total destruction. It mattered little how many innocent and vulnerable people were hurt as long as they accomplished their objectives.&nb...

What are the beliefs and principles upon which we base our life? This is the true content of our faith. These are our convictions.
