godly character – Flint River Primitive Baptist Church

In our most recent edition of Words of Grace, Pastor Benjamin Winslett addresses the subject of physical beauty through the lens of Scripture. While the Bible clearly acknowledges physical attractiveness (Sarah, Rebekah, David, etc.), it also warns against making beauty an idol. True beauty, as God’s word teaches, is found not in outward appearance but in the beauty of holiness. From biblical modesty to the fleeting nature of physical appeal, this sermon calls believers to focus on what truly matters: the heart, godliness, and a life that reflects Christ. Join us for this important and timely reflection on Biblical Beauty.

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.
