A few notes from a recent Bible discussion session we guy had: (We're focusing on I and II Peter, New Testament) from the 4th chapter / discussion notes: Arm yourselves with Christ's attitudes: > faithfulness > awareness of and staying away from sinful activities & environments > love others > be hospitable > endure persecutions for Jesus' sake > use your gifts > exercise self-control > pray with a clear conscience and mind Questions posed: how do our attitudes and actions change when we become a Christian Noted: reversal of attitudes and actions in Peter's life and these are important examples . . . his perspective changed dramatically after Christ's resurrection. Next week: chapter 5. Prayer focus: for our wives, for youth events of the church, for Scott S. and Mark's family God continues to work in our Corps (church) and we acknowledge it. He is a God of miracles. A strnager stopped by and asked for prayer in the final moments of our get together; praise the Lord!

From I Peter 3 (8 - chapter 4:2) from our recent study & discussions: WHAT DOES GOD EXPECT US TO DO / NOT DO:
A. Suffer for doing good if need be
B. Don't return EVIL for evil,but give blessings instead
C. The tongue - control it! Speech is mighty.
D. Persevere - endure with God's help, which is assured
E. Share Christ's good news - the Gospel still changes lives.
F. Symbolize your faith somehow - use a conversation-opener. Simple things can provoke a response for you to have an opportunity to witness for the Lord
