1 Peter 3:8-9
''Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.'' 1 Peter 3:8-9 (NIV)

This morning I want to continue to share with you the wise words of Peter as he reminds us that no matter how the world acts, we are to be different...in fact he said to not live like the world but just the opposite, this world might be hostile right now, but the opposite of hostility is spelled L-O-V-E. This morning lets see what God says about our actions in a hostile world...but first let's PRAY)
