POINTS:

  • Expectations are the lens through which we view life.

  • Posterity is the harvest the next generation receives from the seed that you planted today.

  • Peace: 1. Completeness, soundness in body and mind, good welfare, safety, quiet, tranquillity, and contentment. 2. Friendship. 3. A confident trust in God’s wise control of your life.

  • Shalom designates a condition in which life is lived.

  • Self-preservation does not lead to peace; surrender does.

  • Your best friend is a Lion.

  • We can’t know if we have biblical peace until things are not peaceful.

  • Jesus says He is going to leave us with the kind of peace that can handle the cross.

  • Before we can have peace from God, we must have peace with God.

  • Anxiety shows us those places in which we are still at war with God.

  • Hostility comes from unmet expectations.

  • When we have peace with God instead of asking questions like “Why do bad things happen to good people?”, we’ll start asking “Why do good things happen to sinners like me?”

  • The overflow of our freedom is freedom for the next generation.

  • Hope is living in the confident expectation that God keeps His promises.

  • Our children may have wandered away from God, but God has not wandered away from them.
