“For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does. The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.”‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4:3-8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Peter says, “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” There are many issues going on now where Christians are being maligned because they believe that the Bible is God’s Word and they want to trust and obey it. The early Christians had it much worse and yet they continued to love their neighbor. Remember the recent example that the Church in Charleston set by forgiving after being attacked? Please pray that we and our friends continue to “love another earnestly” and remember that God is in control. Please pray for our Christian leaders.
