The great question before us then is if shalom belongs to those who are regenerate, those who are in Christ, those who are born of the Spirit. The great question is if you are following this other path, if you're following the path of the culture, the wickedness of the culture, the promise of the culture that if you pursue your felt needs and your needs for romance and finance and personal success before and above Christ, that somehow that's going to work out. And if you are habitual there, if you are unrepentant, if you're hearing a voice like mine and others saying the same thing, calling you back, pleading with you, begging you back, and you stiffen your neck and you harden your heart in order to pursue the promises of the culture, it's a legitimate question, my friend, to ask whether or not you are regenerate, whether you are born of the Spirit, whether or not you are even in Christ.
Ever felt like modern Christianity sometimes misses the mark? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson dives into what it truly means to walk the path of peace as a Christian. He doesn't shy away from calling out the superficiality that often creeps into American Christianity, where personal needs and success can overshadow the deeper call of faith.
Rick urges listeners to return to the core teachings of Jesus, emphasizing that real peace comes from prioritizing Christ's interests over our own. The episode is a heartfelt reminder of the indicators of genuine Christianity. Rick talks about the importance of a supreme love for Jesus, a deep devotion to His teachings, and a sincere love for fellow Christians.

Whether you're new to faith or have been walking this path for years, Rick's message is a timely call to deepen your spiritual commitment and find genuine peace in a world full of distractions.
