“If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.” (NASB)
STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS
“If possible, so far as it depends (ek: denoting origin; the point whence action or motion proceeds; from, out of) on you, be at peace (eireneuo: have peace, live peaceably, live in peace, make peace, cultivate or keep peace, harmony) with all men.”
SUMMARY
When it depends on you, cultivate, and live in peace and harmony with every human being that you meet.
MEDITATION
Over the last few years I’ve personally seen how a simple desire to live peaceably really does stand out. In a world that shouts of revenge and getting your way, let us live as Paul encouraged us to. May we, the children of God, be the humble peacemakers that point all men to Jesus.

- Southwest, Virginia, United States
- ** Search for "Path To Zion Podcast" on YouTube or go to pathtozion.com, Joel's primary source of publishing these days. ** I'm pretty much your average 50 year old guy that lives in the beautiful mountains of Southwestern Virginia. I love being a daddy and a husband. I live to be continually conformed into the image of Christ and believe that I exist to bring Heaven down to the earth. I love to challenge what you believe - not so that I can prove that either of us are right or wrong, but to get you to know why you believe what you do. I'm not into conferences, glory meetings or hyped up Christianity. Nor am I stagnant and zombie-fied in ignorance and spiritual depravity while snoring in a church pew. Are these our only two options? Who will mature in Christ and seek to be conformed to His image above all else? I used to write.... ALOT. I started two books that have been temporarily "shelved" until some spare time returns. I long for Christ's sleeping church to awaken and share this whenever I can. I believe and personally know that God speaks to people today. Will you heed His voice? Feel free to email me at: pathtozionpodcast[@]gmail.com .

Oh what a challenge Paul gives us !!! May I start minute by minute, advance to a whole day, a whole month - oh how about the rest of this year......to live in humble harmony with each person, especially with other believers. Maybe then, just then, the world will see the Love of God in action. This was a good one Joel.
