Strive for peace, my brothers and sisters,
In all that we do and say,
Let us not be tempted by drama,
But choose peace every day.
Let us study to be quiet,
In our families and our towns,
Let us seek the peace of all around us,
And let peace be our crown.
For when dissension arises,
We must strive for truth and peace,
Not to glory in the strife,
But to bring love's sweet release.
Let us not spread tales or whispers,
But speak truth face to face,
Let us seek righteousness and unity,
In the Gospel's loving grace.
So let us not crave the spotlight,
But seek peace in all we do,
For in doing so, we'll honor God,
And bring His love to shine through.
About Brandan Kraft
Brandan Kraft is a computer programmer from the Missouri Ozarks who has been writing about the sovereign grace of God since 1997. He started with a website called bornagain.net, built it into PristineGrace.org, and has published over two hundred articles, nearly sixty songs, and a growing catalog of podcasts from his living room in Ashland, Kentucky. All without permission from anyone.
He holds no seminary degree, no denominational endorsement, and no theological credentials. He has been writing software for the same employer since 1998. He thinks in systems and believes that the sharpest doctrine should produce the widest arms.
His systematic theology, A Thought in the Mind of God, derives every position from one sentence and applies it across every domain - from ontology to eschatology, from the nature of the human mind to the nature of heaven and hell. It is available at pristinegrace.org/mind.
Brandan lives in Ashland, Kentucky with his wife Angie and their son Cole. He plays trombone in the Marshall University Tri-State Brass Band and changes a diaper twice a day on a cat named OJ who was once paralyzed and whom nobody else wanted.
