#1 Peter 4

[aniah-who]

Spend the rest of your time in the will of God and no longer in the flesh to the lusts of men. Time is short and so is life. When you give your all to God, you will never find yourself in a place of regret. Your only regret will be is that you hadn’t surrendered and submitted to His will sooner. God is that good.

~ 1 Peter 4:2

Living for God's Glory

1 If therefore The Messiah has suffered in your place in the flesh, be you also equipped with the same mind, for everyone who has died in his body has ceased from all sins; 2 Therefore he shall not live for the desires of men, as during the time that he was in the body, but for the will of God. 3 For that past time was enough in which you served the pleasure of The Pagans, in debauchery, drunkenness, in whoredom, in orgies and in the worship of demons. 4 And behold, now they marvel and insult you because you do not run riot with them in this former debauchery, 5 Those who give an account to God, who is going to judge the dead and living. 6 For because of this, The Good News was proclaimed also to the dead that they would be judged as children of men in the flesh and they would live in God by The Spirit.

7 The end of all things has arrived, therefore sober up and wake up to prayer. 8 And before everything, have a severe love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 9 And love strangers without murmuring. 10 And let each one of you serve his neighbor with the gift he has received from God, as good stewards of the unique grace of God. 11 Everyone who speaks, let him speak according to the word of God, and everyone who ministers, according to what power God gives to him, that God may be glorified in all that you do, by Yeshua The Messiah, whose glory and honor is truly to the eternity of eternities.

12 Beloved, do not be astonished at the temptations that will come upon you, as if something strange happened to you, for they are for your proving. 13 But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of The Messiah, for in this way also you shall rejoice and be jubilant in the revelation of his glory. 14 And if you are reproached for the sake of the name of The Messiah, you are blessed, because The Glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. 15 Only let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer. 16 But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him praise God for this name. 17 For it is time that the judgment will begin from the house of God; but if it begins from us, what is the end of those who are not convinced of The Good News of God? 18 And if the righteous have life in hardship, where is an evil man and a sinner found? 19Therefore, let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to him by excellent works, as to a faithful Creator. — 1 Peter 4 | Aramaic Bible in Plain English (ABPE) The Aramaic Bible in Plain English Copyright © 2007; 8th edition Copyright © 2013 All rights reserved.

Vigilantly seeking the things that are above

Vigilantly seeking the things that are above

Today we will be looking at the topic of vigilance. When we vigilantly “seek the things that are above,” we are not only looking forward to a heavenly eternity, but we should be finding ways to enact heavenly principles in the here and now, incorporating our new, spiritual kingdom life into the life we are living now. The apostle Paul stated it this way: Colossians 3:1-3 – If then you were…

Church notes - 18th August 2024

18th Psalm 91:14 - 16

1 Peter 4:12 - 19 Hard Sell Trials and Persecution 1 Peter 1:1, 2

If you don't suffer grief, then you have died before those who love and care for you.

If you don't factor suffering into your world view you are ill prepared to live in this world. Christians will suffer and your shouldn't be surprised when it happens. Any teachings to the contrary are false.

vs 13

Philippians 1:29

The people who are persecuting you see something of Jesus in you. vs 14

Matthew 5:3 - 12

We recieve the ministry of the Holy Spirit when we are suffering.

vs 15 - 18

vs 19 Commit to God.

If you don't factor in eternity you are ill prepared for suffering.

Reflections on I Peter 4

[biblebloodhound]

In the Place of Life (1 Peter 4:1-6)

There are times in our lives when we need to explore the place between our hurting hearts and the hunting for joy.

Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and…

White collar handles angst in such a great way because 3/4ths of the characters are emotionally mature, well-regulated people so when things like El getting kidnapped for the treasure go down, Peter doesn’t blame Neal or Mozzie, and even hears out Neal’s side on how he got the treasure. El doesn’t hold any resentment either because she recognizes Keller is to blame even though he was after their treasure.

I wouldn’t have blamed them for being more mad at Mozzie and Neal, but the fact they understood where they were coming from and never misappropriately assigned blame (Peter even tells Mozzie to stop blaming himself, because it was Keller who kidnapped El) is such a huge indicator of their maturity.

Also, Peter being able to see Neal be willing to confess and go to jail for his part in stealing the treasure allowed him to see that his good influence WAS changing Neal too. Peter recognizes that Neal is genuinely trying to be better, even if he can’t fully kick his habits, so even when Neal fucks up, he always keeps that in mind.

There are other examples, but how they handled the treasure fallout really stood out.

Meredith's morning.

[professional-sinner]

Sucking a priests dick, him gripping your hair and hearing him mutter to himself "keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins" as a way to ease the guilt. He'll confess this only once, but think about it for months 😇
