Word-Filled-Wednesday: 1 Pet 3:15-16

“Honor Christ and let him be the Lord of your life. Always be ready to give an answer when someone asks you about your hope. Give a kind and respectful answer and keep your conscience clear. This way you will make people ashamed for saying bad things about your good conduct as a follower of Christ. (1 Pet 3:15-16 Contemporary English Version)

Reflection: Suffering for Doing Good
Written by e-Mom. Follow me on Twitter

When I looked up the context of this passage in my Bible "Suffering for Doing Good" was the general heading, beginning in verse 8 and ending with verse 22.

All of us face persecutions and trials of various kinds, but the worst kind of suffering comes when our intent is noble and we are badly mistreated as a result. At those times it's easy to become confused and fall for the lies of the enemy: we deserve it, we blew it, and we aren't worthy of love.

Once-a-Month Scripture Memory Challenge

I've decided to tuck these verses away for the future. I'm certain the day will come when I need them. Would you like to participate in this month's Scripture Memory Challenge with me? (Let me know in the comments when you pick up FREEBIE #7.) You can select your own passage, or you can join me in memorizing these verses from 1 Peter. God bless you in your study of His Word.

Tangle Video Clip

Music is a wonderful tool to aid in memory work. The short video clip above was made in New Zealand by The TEA Team (Training, Evangelism, Adventure). Accompanied by guitar, these young people have produced a vocal arrangement that makes memorizing 1 Pet 3:15-16
a snap! 2:33 min.
