“We are up to the hilt advocates for peace, and we earnestly war against war. I wish that Christian men would insist more and more on the unrighteousness of war, believing that Christianity means no sword, no cannon, no bloodshed, and that, if a nation is driven to fight in its own defence, Christianity stands by to weep and to intervene as soon as possible, and not to join in the cruel shouts which celebrate an enemy’s slaughter. . . . Today, then, my brethren, I beg you to join with me in seeking renewal.”

“My text doesn’t say, “being justified by faith, we feel we are at peace with God.” It doesn’t say that. It says, “we have peace with God.” It’s not a feeling. It’s a fact. Peace with God is not an emotional state of religious euphoria. If it were, we would be in a very precarious position, since our emotions ebb and flow like the tides of the sea. But it isn’t a feeling. It is a relationship, which is a stable relationship because God has established it through Jesus Christ and our fluctuating feelings can not alter it. Peace with God is an objective fact based upon an objective event: the death of Jesus Christ, and it’s these objectivities, these rocks, if our feet stand firmly upon them, which will rescue us from the shifting sands of subjectivity.”
