Do Not Be Surprised That You Suffer

God says that it should not surprise believers when they suffer for Christ. The surprise should be that you don’t suffer. In fact, the question might be, “Why don’t you suffer for Jesus. Jesus said, “If they hated me they will hate you also (John 15:18).

11-10-17 – 1 Peter 4:9-11 – Offer hospitality and Serve Others

“If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” Even in days of struggle we must remember the gift of hospitality to others. God wants us to love each other and be kind. Even so, we are to be harmless as doves and wise as serpents. He does not expect us to walk blindly into danger. Quite the contrary, expect God to warn of danger through the power of the Holy Spirit.

11-9-17 – 1 Peter 4:7-8 – The End is Near

“The end of all things is near. Therefore, be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. Above all love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” Our main call for the end of days is to love the Lord with all our heart and love each other deeply. God’s command is for us to love one another.

11-8-17 – 1 Peter 4:3-5 -  The Living and the Dead Will Be Judged

Every person, living or dead, will have to answer for how they have lived their life. Those who accept Jesus will be judged according to want they have done for God and rewarded accordingly.

11-7-17 – 1 Peter 3:22-4:3 – Arm Yourself with the Attitude of Christ

Arm yourself with the attitude of the Gospel. Jesus lived for the will of God. God asks us to do the same. We should honor God in everything we do. You have spent enough time in the past living in debauchery; now is the time to live for Jesus.

11-6-17 – 1 Peter 3:18-22 – As It Was in the Days of Noah

Christ died as the sacrifice for all who accept his free gift of salvation. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man. When the world is so decadent that God can no longer wait, Jesus will return. The world is a cesspool of sin that denies God at every incident.

10-31-17 – Halloween and the Holidays

Is celebrating Halloween acceptable for Christians to partake in. This, the most evil day of the year according to Satanists, is celebrated across America by churches; churches that have embraced the teaching of the World over the teaching of Christ. Most say, “It is only good fun; a day for the children to get candy.” But Satan uses it as a way to turn every participant’s mind off of Christ and onto himself. In short, all who participate worship Satan.

10-18-17 1 Peter 2:18 Submit Yourselves to Your Masters

God says that we should honor him no matter the circumstance so that others might know of grace of God through Jesus Christ. Peter says that we are to honor God even in the instance of being a slave. He does not tell us to fight the bounds of slavery, rather, he says that we should be the best slave that we can be. Then, through the grace of God, others might come to know Jesus as Lord.

10-17-17 1 Peter 2:13-16 Live As Free Men

If we are in Christ, we are to live as free men. We are free no matter the circumstances of the world. However, God tells us to remain pure. We should not use our freedom to do evil. Peter said, “. . . do not use your freedom as cover-up for evil.” God wants his children to show the world how the righteous are to live. We are to honor God in all situations whether slave or free.

10-16-17 – 1 Peter 2:13 Submit Yourself to Authorities

God has given us authorities to keep us safe. We are to submit to those authorities. However, when authorities clash with the laws of God we are to take a stand for God. God has given his laws to the citizens of Heaven. As Christians, we must follow those laws.
