How to Stand Firm Amidst the Waves of the World

Every faithful Christian church is comprised of believers who are called  to engage the culture in which they have been providentially placed for  the glorious purposes of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord himself  said, “Let your light shine before others” (Matt 5:16), “Go and make  disciples” (Matt 28:19), and “you will be my witnesses” (Acts 1:8). As  individual Christians, we are to go, witness, and proclaim the beautiful  and saving message of the gospel. But as we go, we do so knowing  dangers await—some seen, some unseen—and we need to prepare ourselves to  endure with conviction and trust. The question is, How do we do that?  How can we be faithful to our divine directives in spite of opposition?  In the closing chapter of his first letter, the Apostle Peter is going  to provide us some guidance, guidance that leads us into the protective  borders of a godly church family.
