1 Peter 1:21-2:3
Bumper - Before Christmas we were in a study in 1st Peter- GLOW - and I'd like for us to pick up where we left off.
When something glows it emits a steady radiance of light. In 1st Peter, we learn as Christians, we're called to GLOW by emitting the radiance of Christ to the world around us.
The essential ingredient to GLOWING is found in having a vibrant personal relationship w/ Christ in salvation - walking in the Spirit - surrendered to God's Word living out the Great Commission to go into all the world in His name.

And this is the word that was preached to you. Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, cra ...
