A Time for Quiet...Peace

A Time for Quiet...


This is what Isaiah, the prophet, meant when he wrote:




And the work of righteousness will be peace,

And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation,

And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places (32:17-18).




You know...Peace is not merely the absence of war or external conflict.  It's a spirit of rest
profoundly dealt to the believer according to Jesus' righteousness.  We are made right before God
based on His one act of sacrifice on the Cross. Thus our "Justification" keeps us in "perfect peace' when we rest upon the marvelous work of our Savior...Emanuel...God is with us as the Prince of Peace.

Gary Roberts is a born again believer in Jesus Christ and one who cherishes study, words, and teaching. He is retired on disability, but looks to each day as a special time to study. Gary is currently a member of Fountain Baptist Church. Past relationships with Aversboro Road Baptist - Garner, NC and Holly Hill Baptist - Burlington, NC have been very rewarding with a teaching and card ministry. Thus, Gary's background is conservative Southern Baptist. His beliefs nor his teaching are politically motivated and only a love for the Lord and His Word is at the forefront.
