Re:Verse passage – 1 Peter 3:8-17 (day two) …but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; vs. 15
I’m thinking a lot about Christmas these days. Let’s be honest, I think a lot about Christmas most days. Our theme this year is ‘Go and Tell’ which is a combination of the Great Commission, and the eagerness of the shepherds after their encounter with the angels and the baby Jesus. The shepherds are an incredible model for us as witnessing believers. There is no way they could understand the significance of all the events to which they were a witness. That fact, however, did not stop them from telling everyone they encountered about what they saw. Our responsibility is not to have a Master’s of Divinity in Exegetical Preaching. Ours is to simply, clearly, lovingly tell others who we know Jesus to be in our own lives, in our own words. To be clear, we should always pursue a greater understanding of God and his great work, but our qualification to share is our relationship with him. To preach Christ crucified and alive. This is truth. This is worth sharing.

Hi Aaron, after watching the blog,my thoughts have been on the generations to come. Reading tge Bible through…again,
I just just completed 1st and 2nd Kings.
I can’t imagine what Christians injured from one king to the next! This one knows the Lord and filled all his commands destroying all tha God found evil in his sight! Then right behind him baal comes back with the next king put in place and Satan has a party!
In my minds eye I can see our presidents working like manner. I know God’s perfect plan will unfold again in his time,
for that I am thankful. My prayer is that we humbly seek to sow and save diligently!
Love watching the blogs!
