Colossians 3:15

Colossians 3:15 (NIV)

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.  And be thankful.

I speak from personal experience when I talk about experiencing the peace that passes all understanding, when I finally found a church that I could really call home, free of the drama and strife.  Is it perfect?  No, but we are all striving for that common goal, to be the New Testament church that God calls us to be.  Transparency, without hearing your name on the 11:00 news; being able to pray and share with each other, and to help in the time of need.  This is what the Lord calls us in the body to do.  Thank God for His people who understand what this means.
