The Beatitudes - Part 3 | Dr. Sandra G.Kennedy

Are you a Peacekeeper or a Peacemaker? There is a big differences. 

Most people in the church are Peacekeepers meaning;
- they avoid any kind of discomfort; their motto is, don't rock the boat.
- they hide behind any confrontation, meaning they let things go of that which should be addressed in love. In other words, they are not truth tellers.
- peacekeepers choose to keep peace, no matter the cost as long as they are not moved out of their comfort zone.
- by not acknowledging wrong doings, in an effort to maintain peace, peacekeepers actually justify wrongs rather than doing the more difficult work of resolving conflicts. 
- peacekeepers want to maintain things as they are without discord or change.

In Matthew 31:23 Jesus refers not to those who keep the peace, but to those who actively make peace happen. The Peacemakers.
 Peacemakers
- work at creating peace.
- work at reconciling people that are at odds with one another.
- peacemakers are willing to speak up.
- they endure discomfort, for they know the price of peace often requires a situation to get worse before it gets better.
- peacemakers will initiate opportunities for brave conservations.
- they understand that honest relationships are often messy but deeply worthwhile.
- to a peacemaker, EVERYONE is valuable.
There is no better friend than a honest, loyal, faithful Peacemaker.
