  • Armed and Dangerous

    by Dr. David Jeremiah



    For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation.
    Ephesians 2:14

    Ephesians 2:13-19


    Peter Cartwright, frontier evangelist, once preached in the backwoods. Two young men--armed and dangerous enemies--attended without the one knowing the other was there. When Cartwright gave the invitation, one of the men responded and knelt at one end of the altar. The other knelt at the opposite side. Cartwright went to the first, prayed with him, and asked for his pistol. Then he prayed with the other and took his sidearm as well.

    Rising from the altar, the young men suddenly saw each other and instantly started toward one another. For a second the audience held its breath. But the men embraced, and from that day they were brothers in Christ.

    Most of our problems with others would be resolved if we'd get our own hearts right with the Lord. Revival ushers in love. We're proud and stubborn by nature, but at the foot of the cross we find the love of Jesus and the capacity to love our neighbor as ourselves, and thus to fulfill all the law of God.

    We should practice thinking of ourselves as members of the blessed family of God and should strive in prayer to love and appreciate everyone who is born of the Father.
