7 Steps to a Peaceful Life

This is an encouraging video message from Pastor Ed Lapiz during our Friday Worship.

1.   Choose the people you agree with in: 

Marriage, friendship, partnership, association, church membership,
Avoid partnership with people you don't vibe with

2. Adjust to people you live with:
- live at peace to everyone
- adjust to your parents, siblings, spouse, in-laws, superior at work, neighbors,
   Proverbs 15:16, 25:24
- be companionable

3. Let people be especially if you have no stake in them

4. Accept condition that you must 
Philippians 4:12
Kung ano kalagayan ko, tinatanggap ko, adjust and do what it takes
Your character is important, you will accept your situation and pass through it with the least mistakes

5. Submit to in escapable authority
- Permanent authority e.g. Family
- Situational authority e.g. Captain in the seas etc
1 Peters 2:13-14
Eph. 6:5-9

6. Do not offend those who have power over you
- parents, corporate church
- situational power e.g. Waiter sa restaurant
Ecc. 10:20

7. Be kind to those under you but can undermine you
- Be nice
Eph. 6:9

Challenge:
Always thrive for peace
We need peace to excel, to be happy so we can move to glory to glory

Conclusion:
God is peace.
Do something because you will benefit to a peaceful life
