Some say my life and work as a preacher has been far from dull, and that may be true.  Here are some of things I have experienced–in recent times–as a preacher.

I conducted a Bible study with six men in a work release program and one of these fellows had what I would call an “emotional melt down.”   This man is plagued by many issues and he is searching for peace.

Just hours after the work release study the phone rang and the caller was someone I had met several years ago.  Although this person is now living in a different state, he thought I could help his female acquaintance, a woman who believes she is possessed by the devil and must find inner peace.  There was also a fellow from about a week ago who thought a “death angel” was after him and he too wanted peace, but he will be featured in another article.

People and circumstances differ, but my work as a preacher tells me many are seeking the thing called “peace.”  Many would trade fame, money, and even give up good health for “peace.”

The Bible says peace is available.  In Phil. 4:7 Paul said, “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.”

No God, no true peace.  Know God and find peace.
