OUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN WHEN THEY ARE FORSAKEN
woman in the days of yore,
Forgiven what she’d done before,
Was told to go and sin no more;
Then sent upon her way.
She’d faced the angry crowd alone
With sins for which she must atone,
Yet no one dared to cast a stone;
For all had gone astray.
So if we mend our ways at last
And go to Church, no stones are cast;
For we may then forget the past
And start a brand new day.
—Gloria Nowak
“t Mid. I will confess
my transgressions unto
the Lord; and thou
torgavest the iniquity
of my sin.”
—Psalms 32:5
If any have a stone to throw
It is not I, ever or now.
—Elinor Hoyt Wylie

Peace elusive
By HENRY A. GRUBBS, Pastor
First Presbyterian Church
Than dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind
is stayed on thee, because be trusts in thee. Trust
in the Lord forever, for the Lord is an everlasting
rock. Isaiah 26:3
The wish for peace is constantly expressed.
Although we are always wanting peace, we rarely
deliberately study to discover what peace is, or
how it might be achieved. It is strange that with so
much expressed desire for peace, the people of the
world have done little to bring peace into their
communities, their families and their lives. When
we find no peace in the areas closest to us, how
can we expect peace in the world?
The people of Israel (God’s people) claimed
their Promised Land by glory battles. After tak-
ing the land, they were engaged in wars for all
their history. If not warring with foreign enemies,
they were engaged in intense political strife. The
biblical writing of the history of Israel are a
record of ceaseless struggle for power and advan-
tage. None of the Bible characters enjoyed a life
of peace in their relationships with people of their
own time. Samuel was disturbed by a peoples’
desire and demands for a king. King Saul was
soon in conflict with David. For all his heroic ac-
complishments, King David was in conflict with
his generals, and even his son, Absalom. For all
his wisdom, Solomon was disturbed by the resent-
ment of his subjects over taxes levied. Following
the death of Solomon, Israel was torn by foreign
and domestic strife, and Judah seceded.
Secular history is a recording of the struggles of
people for wealth, power and tame. At no time in
the life of man has there been “peace on earth”.
We, by our nature, are at war within ourselves.
We arp prisoners of our nature. We always resent
those who have more, and are threatened by those
who have less. We conceal our inner feelings and
try to make political alliances with those nearest
us for our own protection and gain.
The constant conflict of mankind is obvious in
everything we see and read. The history of
literature (fiction and non-fiction) is a continuing
unfolding of the conflict. Virtually every novel,
history and drama is based on the conflicts bet-
ween villains and heroes. The worst villians are
heroic to some people. The greatest heroes are,
villainous to some people. The best among us are
possessed of some evil. The worst amefng us
possesses some virtue. The greatest battle of time
is the struggle between the good ad evil in each of
us. Our great depravity is seen in our striving to
showcase our good and conceal our evil. From his
awareness of this agonizing struggle, the Apostle
Paul cried out, “O wretched man that I am...”
Jesus referred to peace many times. He promis-
ed, “My peace I give unto you.” His promise was
of an inner peace born of the gift of the Spirit; the
peace which comes from resolving the inner con-
flict by experiencing the grace and forgiveness of
God. But, those who are given this peace are not
freed from the chaotic conflicts in their relation-
ships. Jesus also said, Do not think that I have
come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to
bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a
man against his father, and a daughter against
her mother...Matthew 10:34f Jesus revealed that
to possess the peace he came to give would set life
apart from the concepts of life possessed by those
closest them.
When we stop to think of and feel the realities of
our relationships with self and the people around
us, we are pained by the disturbing truth. Our in-
ner conflict weakens our self assurance. Our
uneasy relationships with others, our insecurity,
brings foreboding restlessness.
The Christian optimists who once proclaimed
with confidence that our faith will drive ig-
norance, injustice, greed, lust and class struggle
from the world are no longer heard. The prevalent
voices today are speaking of Armageddon and the
end of the world. This is an escapist proclamation.
It is the voice of one weary of the struggle and
eager to have it all come to an end.
Set in the midst of the conflict and despair,
there is another voice. It is the voice that cannot
be heard in earthquake, wind and fire. It is the
still, quiet voice of God.The voice calls faithful
lives to be reassured; to know that “underneath
are the everlasting arms”; to be confide.+ in the
truth that our “foundation cannot be shaken ’.
There is an eternal message for each of us. We
might, by God’s grace, find a deep feeling of
peace and joy in life. Our peace and joy will not be
removed by the tumult around us. If we are to
have this serenity of the soul, we must hear,
believe, and feel the promise: Peace I leave with
you; my peace I give unto you; not as the world
gives do I give you. Let not your hearts be troubl-
ed, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27
