Want peace with God? Yourself? Everyone else including your neighbors, in-laws, co-workers, folks on the freeway and people in the drive-thru? Being at peace with others is a high priority with God.

We discuss how to stay in peace to keep a bad situation from getting worse while bringing peace to others. (Romans 12:18).
