There's nothing like it.

I thought we'd talk about peace today.

That's in Luke 2 and verse 14.

But today, 2,000 years later, there are many wars raging, some of which are showing no signs of abating.

Perilous times have come.

Men's hearts are failing them for fear.

The sea and the waves, the nations are roaring, and negotiations do not seem to last at all.
