#BlessedAre - The Peacemakers ~ Sermon: @JohnFehlen Poem: @Treborn

10/09/10, 10/10/10 - www.WSFC.org
West Salem Foursquare Church
Pastor John Fehlen
Series: Blessed Are

Scripture: "Blessed (enjoying enviable happiness, spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons of God!"

POEM:

Down to the border and it's absent of tourists
hunting for food, walking like for sure it's...
(hunger) with senses so peaked, everything is exasperated
b-line it back, never over-exaggerated
Anticipation, and sense of anxiety
that's when we lack PEACE, in such a variety
more than a frame of mind, who's in control
there's an absence of PEACE in us as a whole
The so-n-so's are coming, time to act right
tomorrow's a Red Dawn, surviving the fast life
stay keen to your surroundings - don't flirt
war-like conditions, is it an Amber Alert
Even those that are found, in the reserves
a simulation is fabricated, yet they get hurt
turmoil beyond, can we try to work at PEACE
not a hippie mentality, take it to the streets

PEACE be made and PEACE be shaped
in our culture, today till the end of the age
PEACE is a hallmark version of God
exibit the fruits of the spirit - it's not hard
Make PEACE, it begins with God's relation
missing a piece, in need of salvation
natural steps; Reality of sin-tation
is there separation, need reconciliation
Remedy is the cross, that is PEACE
Response is; Lord, you're mine, my PEACE
get your hear right and it will flow
make PEACE and share PEACE with your bro
Deal with anger and what lies below
if a friend comes against you, do know
'behind every act is an attitude'
what you put out comes back at you

Don't act so rude, don't be a hater
anger is the common denominator
Jesus wants to deal with humans
they're the wild card, confusing
Spirituality connects with humanity
not Christianity, anger in your heart's a calamity

Not a momentary action, it smolders
like a volcano, it burns inside with boulders
until it blows up, explodes, kaboom
kadosh, kadosh, we need 3 holys in this room
You fool - we speak out as if they're hopeless
they are helpless without God, no hope distress
is it stress, you'll surely speak your heart
use your phrasology proper - it's hard
Killing me softly, with your song
your words are poison, to my ears all along
head off to the temple for your worship
bathe and change clothes, before your ship...
Sails with no sails, now sacrifice
don't ignore, or reject, slave to a vice
you've been so hurt, and your gifts mean nothing
be reconciled 1st and live at PEACE - that's something

It's not them it's you, drinking that poison
who's dying? it's us, yet you've been chosen
settle it quickly before it's out of hand
fix it simply, it's time we got to stand
If your brother sins against you
go privately, that's the 1st thing you do
tell them the issue, before the time past
years pass, don't dump it or make a blast
Take steps of healing and take company
they can hear and pray, the truth is ugly
do it corporately, bring them to the church
people know how to reason and search
Got to treat lovingly, even without resolution
love the lost and those that hate our solution
lost in their pollution, with potential and worth
be a PEACE maker, not naturally - it's work
