I agree, and actually think the poverty is worse in some ways here in our own back yard, due to the spiritual/emotional poverty that is evident in many people in our own country. EW lack contentment, and that leads to a lack of real love I think!! Thanks again! Gabrielle

I think it is good to keep a open perspective on what else is going on in the world outside of my hub of friends and activities. On the flip note to this thought I think its important to realize we don't need to step far off from our porch to see people hurt and wanting help. mmmm...this is my first time responding so what do you guys think?

It's encouraging to hear comments that indicate a desire to dig deeper into scripture. I agree that verse 11 and 12 help explain the practical outworkings of proclaiming the excellencies of God. Unfortunately I did not bring out those verses as much as I could've. We'll actually be going through this passage again here in a couple months, and Michael Ly will be preaching this. I'm sure we'll discuss in our preaching cadre on how to bring this out. Blessings, Caleb Hi Tambra,

Yeah this subject is obviously a hard one, and for me it comes down to a very similar thing, when push comes to shove, I am going to err on God's sovereign side and not my own, and actually that brings comfort to me (A Dude that want s to control stuff), knowing that god is in control, even when it appears that no one is.

One way I handle the doctrine of election: Consider what I think election is for. If I think it is only that I get to go to heaven, in other words it is about me, then election seems arbitrary and unfair. But if I consider election about my being chosen to give glory to God on earth, then election seems fair, just and reasonable. This doesn't answer all the questions for me, but the longer I think about my own conversion and the life that led to it, the less I see of my own hand in the process. Great sermon today!

As I went back over your notes, I did wonder why you did not addres the final 2 verses of your passage (vs. 11-12), in the sermon or your handout notes (that did list them). These seemed a glimpse of the practical outworking of functioning as that preisthood of vs. 9-10. 1st Peter 2: 11-12. 11Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. 12 Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation. NASU It would be good to hear more on these verses too. Thanks, Tambra Thank you Caleb for the good sermon on Sunday.

1st Peter 2: 11-12.
11Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.
12 Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.
NASU

It would be good to hear more on these verses too.

That's one of my favorite passages in schripture. I love Paul's heart in this passage as he's taken in by Gods overarching plan for the world in Christ--and through that a sense of his role in that plan--and it naturally motivates him to "try to persuade others". He says that he is compelled by the love of God and that for God's sake he's out of his right mind--but for the Corinthean's sake he's sane. It always helps me think clearly and with hope about my role in God's mission. Hi Mike,

Very good blog you have going here. May I add your blog to my blogroll, under "Classical Christianity"? (I understand that you want to get the Word preached fresh to contemporary culture; by "classical" I simply mean that I would be saying your voice matches with other voices of old.) Hope this finds you well. Hey Michael,
