Foundations for Living in a Broken World

1 Peter 2:4-12 What do you do when life is not going as planned? Peter, in this letter to a suffering church, opens the door to help us understand what it means to find something permanent when life may be falling apart all around you. He points this church to the foundation of Jesus and then to their calling as God’s chosen people. Even in the midst of the hardships, Peter gently encourages them with the purpose of living as witnesses of God’s grace in hard times. Finally, he encourages them to examine their inner life and live an outward life that brings glory to God. My prayer as we both prepare for this coming Sunday, is for God’s Spirit to guide and lead us through the hard times for His glory and our good.   Reg Toews, BCMB Executive Director
