Advent Peace
We wait expectantly, but how?
How do we await the coming of Christ?
Should we huddle at house churches and lock the doors?
Should we get out in protest against any and all enemies foreign and domestic?
Should we pray without ceasing?
Are we to be longsuffering, or fighters?
Rebels against the government and those who love tyranny?
Are we to stand, or sit in protest?
Do we go on a hunger strike, form groups of militia?
Peter, what are we to do?
They persecute us.
They treat us a dogs.
