1 Peter 1:13-25

To be nonconformed, be conformed.

Can you explain that statement?

Maybe this will help:

“As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance” (1 Peter 1:14).

Now get personal with five more questions to chew:

  1. After what or whom do I model my life?
  2. Have I excused or ignored any unholiness in me recently?
  3. How practical and liveable is my hope?
  4. Am I taking an active, purposeful role in the purifying of my soul?
  5. Just how eternal is my day-to-day value system?

Over six years ago I wrote The Christian’s Lively Hope (based in part on 1 Peter 1:13-21).

Proverbs 3:29-35; 6:12-19

In my initial preparations this for our Sunday School lesson this coming Sunday, I came up with these eight questions to chew:

  1. “His secret is with the righteous” (3:32)??
  2. What was God’s disposition toward my behavior this past week?
  3. “He blesseth the habitation of the just” (3:33) — My house, blessed?
  4. “He giveth grace unto the lowly” (3:34) — So…do I get any?
  5. What do I have coming? (3:35)
  6. What’s in my mouth? (6:12)
  7. For what am I using the members of my body? (6:13)
  8. “These six things doth the LORD hate” (6:16) — Do I care?

And here’s something I wrote eight years ago: Do you turn God’s stomach and make His blood boil?
