Volume 7, Number 5

Ours is not a peaceful world. War, crime, violence, and disaster surround us on every side. Nevertheless, we can have peace, a peace that "surpasses all understanding" (Philippians 4:6-7). This peace is a gift of God, and it can be ours through our relationship with him.  (CGG Photo)
