Seek the peace of the city and pray for it

(Audio: Español, Inglés) ->Original
RESUMEN: The speaker believes that it is God's time for us to seek peace and well-being (shalom) for our city, just as Jeremiah instructed the exiled Israelites to seek peace in Babylon. The speaker encourages everyone to seek peace by showing love and compassion to others, and to pray for the city. The speaker reminds us that seeking peace for the city will also bring peace to ourselves. The speaker quotes Psalm 91 and encourages everyone to be channels of God's grace and love in the city. The prayer is offered for God's peace and love to be present in the city and for us to be instruments of His peace.
In the New Testament there are two words that speak with respect to time. One is Chronos and the other is Cairos. Chronos is current time and Cairos is God's time and I sincerely believe that it is God's time for us.
No one wants to see and participate in tragedies but the moments in history when things like this happen is when God's people have to rise up strong. A biblical passage has been touched on that has been my motto; The truth of the matter is that next Sunday in Buffalo, New York I am going to preach on this passage. The truth is that I always preach it wherever I go.
