I Peter 1:22-25
I want you to take God's Word and turn to I Peter 1:22. One of the greatest books in all the Bible is I Peter. I want to speak today on "A Living Word For A Dying World."

And I saw those big beautiful mansions there that had just been totally destroyed as though a bomb had been placed under them, just like they had been built out of matchsticks. And I thought ab ...
