Mennonite Church Peace Resources for Youth

When you think about a perfect future, do you think about world peace? Well, at the risk of sounding like a defeatist, the reality is that world peace will be next to impossible to achieve. There are people in the world who are evil and want to kill. Until the rest of us figure out how to deal with people like that,world peace is darn near impossible. When evil entered the world, the seeds of discontent and strife were created. The difference between people is the way they deal with it. Give and take allows people to work out conflicts peacefully. Most people advocate this method. However, some people feel that killing the opposition is the best way to get what they want. If you have ever studied communism, you will know what I mean. Joseph Stalin just killed anyone who stood in his way. The world has to take care of people like that before world peace can be achieved. But take heart, every little step counts. Through God all things are possible.
