Yahweh-Shalom ~The LORD Is Peace
The Lord greeted Gideon in peace, so he built an altar and named
it "The LORD is Peace" (see Judges 6:23-24). You have probably heard
the blessing "Shalom" from Jewish friends and acquaintances. It means
peace. More importantly it means the Lord, our peace. Where does the Shepherd
lead His sheep? Beside peaceful, still waters. "He leads me beside the
still waters; He makes me lie down in green pastures" (Psalm 23:2). When
your heart is content, you are at peace. And where does that contentment come
from? The grace of God. There's no man more discontent than one who is not
experiencing the amazing grace of God. Only in Jesus, will you find security,
sufficiency, and serenity.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
