Feet Shod with Gospel of Peace

[Thompson, Darryl]

Feet Shod with Gospel of Peace

     And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
Eph. 6:15  

     The Lord is soon coming. Talk it, pray it, believe it. Make it a
part of the life. You will have to meet a doubting, objecting spirit,
but this will give way before firm, consistent trust in God. When
perplexities or hindrances present themselves, lift the soul to God in
songs of thanksgiving. Gird on the Christian armor, and be sure that
your feet are "shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace."  

     We are living in the midst of an "epidemic of crime," at which
thoughtful, God-fearing men everywhere stand aghast. The corruption that
prevails, it is beyond the power of the human pen to describe. Every day
brings fresh revelations of political strife, bribery, and fraud. Every
day brings its heart-sickening record of violence and lawlessness, of
indifference to human suffering, of brutal, fiendish destruction of
human life. Every day testifies to the increase of insanity, murder, and
suicide. Who can doubt that satanic agencies are at work among men with
increasing activity to distract and corrupt the mind and defile and
destroy the body? . . .  

     Everywhere there are hearts crying out for something which they
have not. They long for a power that will give them mastery over sin, a
power that will deliver them from the bondage of evil, a power that will
give health and life and peace. Many who once knew the power of God's
Word have dwelt where there is no recognition of God, and they long for
the divine presence.  

     The world needs today what it needed nineteen hundred years ago--a
revelation of Christ.  

     For earth's sin and misery the gospel is the only antidote.
