I Choose Peace - In a Broken World, Part...

Living on the Edge
About this episode

As much as we’d like it to be otherwise, the fact is that the world we live in is violent and uncertain. What is certain is that God promised His children supernatural peace - even in the midst of conditions that threaten to absolutely overwhelm us. Chip unpacks how God’s peace works and how you can have it – even in a broken world.

Introduction: Are you feeding or starving your fear?

University of Tennessee – 12-year study

Psychologically: “We are what we eat.”

Summary: Science and Scripture agree

  1. We are a product of our THOUGHT life. -Proverbs 23:7
  2. Our EMOTIONS flow from our thought life. -Romans 8:6
  3. What we allow to enter our mind is the most important DECISION we make each and every day. -Romans 12:2

Question: How can we choose peace in a broken world?

Answer: Philippians 4:8-9

  • Command #1: DWELL on these things… -Philippians 4:8
  • Command #2: Habitually PRACTICE these things… -Philippians 4:9a

Promise: The God of peace (shalom) will be WITH YOU. -Philippians 4:9b
