“We are NOT citizens of this world. We belong to another kingdom, and we are expected to live our lives in accordance to the dictates of THAT Kingdom. The customs and dictates of the country we are now residing in do not have sovereignty over us. We are of the Kingdom of God, and our […]

“Be Holy… as He is Holy.” That is Peter’s call to action. We have something so precious, so incredible – something the angels themselves have not experienced… grace and its result – our salvation. Our lives should reflect this grace into the world. VERY practical advice from the apostle. As usual, the audio links for […]

  A powerful set of verses. Peter speaks about the inheritance we have – and our hope. He reinforces what Paul teaches when he states that God gives us new birth – it is not something earned by us… it is GIVEN by God out of His mercy, not our worthiness. Good stuff, folks. Enjoy! […]

This is a powerful opening statement by Peter.  So much truth in so few words! In this podcast, I cover a bit on being the “elect”, and being “chosen”. Also – what does he mean when he calls the believers “exiles”? As per usual, here is the video link: Exiles, Chosen for Obedience Audio links to […]

How what is happening to Caitlyn Clark (WNBA rookie) grieves me and drives me to look at 1 Peter. Peter’s letter is all about instructing believers in that 1st century in learning to live and cope with a society that is becoming increasingly hostile to them.   Here is the video link: Intro – 1 […]

There is so much food for thought in this passage. Paul uses the example of a Roman soldier to depict what we as Christians are called to be by God. He very much drives home that we are in a war with the enemy of our souls, and we are to be on the offense, […]

In these verses Paul addresses parents/fathers and children, as well as masters and slaves. He is finishing up his discussion on relationships in the Body of Christ, begun in Chapter 5 where he discussed husbands and wives. Here is the video link: Fathers and Children; Masters and Slaves As per usual, the audio links to […]

Submission might not mean EXACTLY what you think it does. What does Paul mean when he tells wives to submit to their husbands? Are they to be meek, submissive simpering doormats for whatever their husbands want? Nope. Give this podcast a listen. Here is the video link: Mutual Submission Audio links to Spotify and iTunes […]

What does it mean to “Live as Light?” I have a thought or three to share on this topic. Light dispels darkness… it exposes those things hidden in the darkness. It provides comfort for some, and discomfort for others.   As usual, the video link is below, and the audio links can be found to […]
