We Will Not be Excused
Tim Pollard recently preached a peacemaking sermon at St. Peter’s Episcopal in Florida, and they sent a link to his sermon around to our staff. I particularly loved a quote from Martin Luther that Tim used at the conclusion:
“We will not be excused when we say, ‘I will not suffer man to do me wrong,’ because God requires that we renounce our rights and forgive our neighbor.”
If you have 20 minutes, I’d encourage you to listen to the whole thing – it’s a robust description of how the gospel is our foundation in peacemaking.
