Letting Your Moderation Be Known

On this weekend’s edition of Words of Grace, we share a message from the pulpit of River Primitive Baptist Church entitled Biblical Wisdom on Extremes. In this sermon, we explore how Scripture teaches us to avoid the natural human tendency toward extremes — whether in our thinking, our reactions, or our daily living.

As depicted in the the dramatic response of the barbarians in Acts 28 to Paul’s survival of a snake bite, humans can be creatures who pinball between extremes. Yet Paul exhorts in Philippians 4:5 to let our moderation be known to all men. The Bible provides clear and practical wisdom for living a balanced and thoughtful life.

Tune in as we continue this encouraging study and seek to apply these biblical principles in our walk of faith.

Blessed Are The Peacemakers

In this insightful episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett explores the profound meaning behind Matthew 5:9 — “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” What does it truly mean to be a peacemaker? Is it about enforcing peace through strength, or is there a deeper, more Christlike approach?

Ben discusses the distinction between peacekeepers and peacemakers, emphasizing the role of diplomacy and reconciliation. Drawing from Scripture, including Proverbs and the example of John the Baptist, he highlights how fostering peace mirrors the character of Christ, the ultimate peacemaker. This episode also reminds us that true peace is not mere capitulation; sometimes reconciliation requires addressing offenses.

As Christians, we are called to reflect our Savior, the Prince of Peace, in how we mediate and bring calm to a divided world. Join us as we examine this crucial Beatitude and the calling to reflect God’s nature through peacemaking.
