Covenant of Peace

Everybody wants peace. Many people will give or tolerate most anything to obtain it. Even give into the terrorists' demands, some say. Make concessions and compromise, anything for peace. Water down our laws, so that we tolerate all life styles. We don't want to offend anyone. The Bible, however, records a very interesting story about a man who was given a "covenant of peace" by God Himself. Why did God award this covenant of peace? Because this man stood up and executed God's "jealousy" for righteousness while everyone else remained immobilized. No compromise. No toleration. By his courageous action, this one man literally saved a nation from God's wrath. [Read Numbers, chapter 25-- the story of Phinehas.] True peace was gained by executing true justice. That is political salt!
