Revival Radio with John Miller

Have you ever run across someone who sounds like a walking and talking Bible, but whose life doesn’t seem particularly Christ-like? Or, maybe you’ve met a person who identifies as a Christian, but their theology about who Jesus is is just plain bizarre. Today, Pastor John explains that the Word of God only operates correctly when it’s received through the Spirit of God. The Scriptures won’t work in your life without the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit won’t tell you what to do, in contradiction to the Scriptures.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 1, as he continues his message, The Marks Of A Model Church.

If you’re looking at one of the online map applications on your phone or computer, one of the things you’ll frequently see is this-or-that “church.” But is that what a “church” actually is – a property or a building on a map? Of course not, as Pastor John emphasizes today. The church is always a reference to the “people” of Christ, not their property. And if you’re looking for a “church,” how do you pick among the many apparent options? Compare it with the church founded by Jesus.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 1, as he begins his message, The Marks Of A Model Church.

What “motivates” you? Is it being healthy, or being respected at work, or having a great family life? Is it something you’re trying to acquire, such as a really nice house, car, or surfboard? Today, Pastor John has an important reminder for you: your ultimate motivation must be living for your eternal destination. And while it may be interesting to talk about the Second Coming of Christ and some of the details about it, what really matters is how it guides your current priorities in your earthly life.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Living In The Light of Christ’s Coming.

When we look around at the world, we see a lot of dysfunction: nation against nation, people against people, and internally in our own selves. Does God care about this? Is He going to let things go on and on in this distressful state? Will bad people just keep getting their way and never face the consequences? Today, Pastor John answers these questions: God brought His judgment on the world before. And He will do it again. He’s just being very, very patient, so you – and others – can get right with Him first.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Will Jesus Come Again?

Since the time of the resurrection of Christ, a lot of years have passed. The world has seen decades and centuries come and go for almost two millennia. And yet, wasn’t there some promise that Jesus made about coming again? Where is He?? Today, Pastor John explains that this apparent “delay” shouldn’t be a surprise. Even as Peter was writing his second epistle, he predicted that people would start to scoff at the idea of a Second Coming of Christ. But Jesus promised it. So: it will happen. Will you be ready?Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Will Jesus Come Again?

How do you know how to pray in the will of God? Maybe you’re thinking about taking a new job. Or, you’re trying to decide on a college or a place to live. According to Pastor John, today, there are a lot of things that you can – and should – pray about. But there’s one thing you should NEVER pray for – and that’s anything that directly contradicts what God has already said in the Scriptures. So watch out, because there are plenty of people with alluring reasons who would tempt you to do so.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Teachers of Error – Part 2.

A lot of people want to “save the world.” But what that means varies quite a lot. To some, it means world peace between governments. Others are looking to create a sustainable, stable planetary environment. Today, Pastor John points to the only salvation that’s actually permanent: the eternal salvation of your soul. And that’s only available through The Way, The Truth, and The Life – Jesus Christ. But there’s an enemy trying to keep you away from Jesus. And he uses false teaching as his tool.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Teachers of Error – Part 2.

One of the things that trips people up about Christianity is: “how can there be one God in three Persons?” And another is: “how can Jesus be fully God and also fully human?” So the question for you is: is this really important, or should you skip over this confusing part when you’re explaining Christianity to others? Today, Pastor John is unequivocal: the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit IS ESSENTIAL to the gospel, as is the full divinity and full humanity of Jesus Christ. Don’t budge on these!Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Teachers of Error: Their Description.

If you’ve listened to teaching about Christianity from public and private media, then you’ve heard many diverse interpretations of God’s Word. How can this be? Today, Pastor John shows that this is no surprise to God: there were false prophets in the Old Testament, and false teachers had appeared even during the writing of the New Testament. What can be tricky is when the same words are used, but they’re given different meanings than those of the authors. Be sure you’re understanding the original intent.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Teachers of Error: Their Description.

Some things are subjective: what toppings do you like on your pizza? Which color car do you want to buy? Do you prefer the beach or the mountains? But other things are objective: the answer to a problem on your math test. The force of gravity. The speed of light. Today, Pastor John asks: Are you building your life on things that are objective or subjective? If your truth is based on your feelings or your experience, it’s only as reliable as you are. But if your truth is based on the Scriptures, it’s as reliable as God Himself.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Is Your Faith Grounded?

People are always looking for security. They want to have a good job that they can count on. Their country must have a strong national defense so they’re safe from external enemies. A paid-off house, money in the bank, and good health – these are all things on which people build their lives. Today, Pastor John says: All of these things are unreliable. But there is one solid rock foundation that will never fail. No matter what happens to you, even if you die: The Word of God endures forever.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Is Your Faith Grounded?

How many people “live for the day?” “Who cares what the consequences will be tomorrow; I wanna do what I wanna do… today!” But Pastor John reminds us today just how important it is to consider what the results will be tomorrow. And there’s more! It’s not just tomorrow, or next week, or next year, or even when you retire. It’s eternity. As you’re going about your daily decisions, consider each one – not just on how it will affect life on earth, but on how it will affect you, and others, eternally.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Is Your Faith Growing?

If someone wants to be an athlete, what does he or she do? If a person wants to learn a second language, how do they go about doing that? If you wanted to move up to a new position at work, what would it take? Today, Pastor John shows that growing in the Christian life is just like growing in any other endeavor. You have to find out what’s necessary and then add that to your mix. It’s great that you’ve started with faith. But is that the end of the story? Not if you want to grow! But you have to start adding.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Is Your Faith Growing?

Take this thought experiment: Suppose that when you became a Christian, you were saved from the penalty of sin. Great! Right? Well, yes, of course. But suppose that you weren’t saved from sin’s power. The same domination that sin had over your life before you became a Christian continued on exactly the same. Would that be a “complete” salvation? Today, Pastor John proclaims the truth that salvation includes being liberated from sin’s power. God has made you a partaker of His divine nature.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Is Your Faith Real?

A lot of people talk about having “faith.” Some people are natural optimists – they believe everything will work out well. Others may be more skeptical, but they still have faith in some particular person or institution. Today, Pastor John asks: “Does it matter in what or in whom your faith is placed?” And he answers with a resounding “Yes!” Faith, as faith is worthless, unless the object of your faith is able to deliver on its promises. And when your faith is in Jesus Christ, your faith is in God.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Is Your Faith Real?

Have you ever been in a situation where you realized you didn’t have a critical item that you needed? You went to your baseball game and forgot your glove. You were going to ride your dirt bike, but you didn’t put gas in it. Today, Pastor John talks about a critical item that you need for your spiritual life – God’s grace. And God’s grace is ALL Sufficient. Not just for initial justification, but for EVERYTHING you need in your Christian walk. Whatever critical situation you’re in, God’s grace is all you need.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Steadfast In Suffering.

Did you ever play “T-Ball” as a kid? If so, it was probably fairly safe and easy. Because the teams you played against were at approximately the same skill level. But imagine you’re a six-year-old T-Baller, and the opposing team that shows up is a Major League baseball team. How would you feel? Today, Pastor John points out how you can come up against an opponent you never want to face: God. All you have to do is be “proud.” Because God opposes the proud, and gives grace to the humble.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 5, as he begins his message, Steadfast In Suffering.

If you lived in the First Century, and you wanted to know about the person and work of Jesus Christ, whom would you ask? It would be great to talk with someone who’d been healed or had heard Him speak. But today, Pastor John has a better example: Peter. He saw Jesus both suffering (on the cross) and glorified (on the mount of transfiguration). So, when Peter explains what a Pastor should be, he’s talking from personal experience. The greatest qualification of your Pastor must be this: he must know Jesus.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Portrait Of A Pastor.

We love to read the Bible stories where someone who trusted in God was delivered. Daniel was protected from lions. Esther was saved from the king. David was spared multiple times. But what about the people who weren’t delivered? Today, Pastor John points out that in some cases, God saved His faithful followers from death. But in other cases, He allowed them to suffer, even unto death. Neither was the result of greater or lesser holiness. But there’s one thing you can always be sure of: God is in control.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he continues his message, Suffering As A Christian.

You often hear people talk about “luck.” “Wow, that sure was good luck!” Or “oh, that was terribly bad luck.” It’s as though things just “happen,” by themselves, at random, for no particular reason. But is that true? Not if you believe in God, according to Pastor John today. Because God has everything under control. If something distressing or harmful happens to you, it’s never by “happenstance.” It’s always by Providence. So, whether you’re prospering, or suffering, God has a purpose in it – for your good.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he begins his message, Suffering As A Christian.

What are some of the most important things to keep in mind when you’re living in the Last Days spoken of in the New Testament? Probably you’ve thought of things like: “be sober,” and “watch and pray.” Today, Pastor John says, “yes”, those are two of the things you must do. But there are others. And they have to do with your relationships with your fellow Christians. Here are some examples: have fervent love, practice hospitality without grudging, and use your gifts to serve others.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he continues his message, Living In The Last Days.

Sometimes you’ll hear a lot of buzz and excitement talking about the End Times, and the Last Days, and what’s gonna happen when. How should you react? Today, Pastor John shows that the New Testament has several very specific instructions about how you should live in these Last Days. And first and foremost: be sober. But what does that really mean? Do this: Keep calm. Don’t lose your sense of balance. Preserve your sanity. Then, you can continue on to the second instruction: watch and pray.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he brings his message, Living In The Last Days

If your goal is to become more like Jesus, how will you do that? There are probably many good answers you can think of, but how about this one from Pastor John today? “Be persecuted.” Huh? Yes, believe it or not, if you have the correct response to persecution, it can actually make a huge contribution toward developing a life of holiness. When you have the right attitudes, ambitions, activities, associations, and assurances, God will work holiness in your life – through the persecution you receive.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he continues his message, How To Face Suffering.

If you’re a Christian, your greatest aspiration is to become more like Jesus. Your plans, your ambitions, and your goals aren’t the driving factor of your life. Rather, it’s: “what does God want?” Today, Pastor John explains what happens when you do this: not everybody will be happy with you. (Just like, not everybody was happy with Jesus.) But, not only will Jesus give you the strength to suffer with Him, but He’ll also bring about great blessings in your life – when you face your suffering in the right way.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he begins his message, How To Face Suffering.

Depending on where you live, there’s probably a favorite sports team that most people get excited about. It may be college or professional. It may be football, baseball, basketball, or something else. (If you’re in Canada, it might even be curling!)How awesome is it when your team wins!? Today, Pastor John tells of the greatest victory ever accomplished in history. Greater than any sports team, any army, any politician. It’s the victory of Jesus Christ over death. And you can participate in His victory.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Christ’s Triumphant Suffering.

Here’s a question that probably every person has pondered: What is the purpose of suffering? What’s its “end game”? Does it have a point? Is there any value in it? Today, Pastor John answers those questions with a resounding “YES”! There’s a finish line to suffering – a goal, a destination, a final outcome, a resolution to the dissonance. It’s called “TRIUMPH.” And it’s guaranteed to you by the Author and Perfecter of your faith: Jesus Christ. His suffering ended in triumph, and so will yours.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Christ’s Triumphant Suffering.

When you’re being attacked or criticized by people, how can you know how you should respond? How should you pray? Well, according to Pastor John today, it really depends on why you’re being disparaged. If it’s because of things you’ve done that are questionable, or outright wrong, then you really need humility and repentance… and you probably need to make an apology. But… if you’re being attacked for following Christ, you don’t have to wonder. Now have assurance: you are in God’s will.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, How To Shine In Suffering.

If you’ve lived more than a few days, you’ve had opposition and criticism. Perhaps you had trouble in school – either from your teachers or from your classmates. No doubt you’ve caused some of your difficulties yourself, by your own unwise actions. Is that what it means in the Bible when it talks about suffering? According to Pastor John, today, yes, those things can cause trouble. But the kind of suffering that God truly blesses is the persecution you get specifically because you are a follower of Jesus Christ.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, How To Shine In Suffering.

Suppose you have a friend at work, and you find out that they’re talking behind your back, trying to make you look bad to your boss. What do you do? Today, Pastor John has a reminder: to be like God, you must return good for evil. This isn’t something that’s humanly natural, but you can do it through the power of the Holy Spirit. Would you like the eyes of the Lord to be upon you? Would you like His ears to be open to your prayers? That’s what the Bible says will happen when you cultivate this habit.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Submission: A Path To Blessing.

Would you like to enjoy life and see good days?” Who would say “no” to that? But how do you find that kind of life? Today, Pastor John lists five attitudes that you should cultivate with the help of the Holy Spirit. And, although these might just sound like a “nice list” of good attitudes, they really do affect the quality of your life. Interestingly, everything on this particular list has to do with how you treat others. It’s just another example of how loving God manifests itself in loving other people.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Submission: A Path To Blessing.

If you listen to most shows or get advice from your friends, what kind of “marriage” advice are you likely to hear? Finances, the kids, the house, who does the dishes, blah, blah, blah – a bunch of stuff dealing with externals. Today, Pastor John blasts those ideas out of the water with his explanations of what really makes a great marriage. And, in particular, today he focuses on husbands. Did you know that the Bible has very clear details about how you can treat your wife that will result in the best possible marriage?Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Submission in Marriage for Husbands.

If you’re a husband, and you hear that it says in the Bible, “husbands, love your wives,” that may not seem too difficult. Until you try to figure out what that means in the practical day-to-day realities of life. Today, Pastor John has a wonderful word of encouragement for husbands: God doesn’t just tell you to love your wife; He shows you how to love your wife, and He empowers you to do so. Today’s message is packed with theological and practical content for husbands. So: pay attention!Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Submission in Marriage for Husbands.

Our world is in love with externals. There’s glitz and glamour everywhere. Media stars and social media posts are made to look as “awesome” as possible. But, how important is that, really? Today, Pastor John looks at the instructions in First Peter for how women are to be made beautiful. And it starts with the inside: an inward beauty of holiness, radiating outward, a reflection of God’s glory and God’s beauty. Whoever you are, woman or man, child or adult, let your beauty come from within you.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Submission in Marriage for Wives.

Can you think of an example in your life when you submitted to someone else, even though you didn’t agree with them? Today, Pastor John shows again that “submission” is a concept that originates in the very nature of God. Jesus Christ, God the Son, while on earth, submitted to God the Father. Yet Christ is eternally coequal with His Father. God has designed marriage in such a way that both the wife and husband have specific roles and responsibilities. Yet, as image-bearers of God, they also are co-equals.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Submission in Marriage for Wives.

When someone honks at you, you honk back. When someone says something nasty about you behind your back, you do the same to them. Right? Of course, as Pastor John explains today, that’s the way we – as humans – want to respond. But that’s not the way we should respond. We have a model. His name is Jesus, and He demonstrated it to the greatest degree when He hung on the cross. He suffered blamelessly; He suffered graciously; He suffered trustfully; and He suffered vicariously, for you.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as he continues his message, Submission in the Workplace.

In the days when they had “kings,” the people in the kingdom were called “subjects.” Now, in countries where the governing authorities are elected, we don’t use that word anymore. So, what should be your model in your workplace? Are you “subject” to your boss, or do you “vote”? Pastor John explains today that, as a Christian, you are to submit to your boss. That’s not just a good suggestion to make things go well for you. It’s a way that you testify – to yourself and to others – that you respect God.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, Submission in the Workplace.

If you were looking for a word that would go against just about everything our culture promotes, it’d be hard to find a better one than “submit.” A great number of slogans and bumper stickers are fundamentally saying: “we hate authority!” But Pastor John is teaching through the Bible, and can you guess where today’s topic has landed? Submission to authority. Submitting yourself. Why? “For the Lord’s sake.” God is glorified, and your life is simplified, when you recognize what God has ordained.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, Submission to the State.

If you’re a Christian and you’re trying to live a holy and devoted life, why are you trying to do that? Today, Pastor John has several solid reasons. The first, of course, is that you are dearly loved by God – that should be reason enough. But there’s more! … There are blessings that you’ll realize in your daily life by being diligent in your spiritual walk. And there are others around you, who are watching you, who may be influenced toward God, too. This even includes those who are opposed to you.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as he continues his message, A Plea for a Blameless Life.

When you hear the phrase in the Bible that Christians are “strangers and pilgrims,” what images does that conjure up? Today, Pastor John recalls an incident from his early Christian days of how not to express that to an outsider. Yet it’s important to understand what it actually means. As he turns the corner in First Peter from who Christians are to how Christians must live, the descriptions are clear. It begins with a plea for what you are to abstain from, followed by a plea for what you are to aspire to.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, A Plea for a Blameless Life.

It’s unfortunate that a lot of people today think of Christianity as just “Jesus and me.” It’s as though God wanted to reconcile you with Himself, but didn’t really care about anyone else. Today, Pastor John shows that this is not the biblical concept of Christianity. The Scriptures use many analogies to describe the people of God, with the emphasis on “the people,” not “the person.” As a Christian, you are a member of a spiritual building, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as he continues his message, God’s Privileged People.

Have you ever been to a magnificent stone building – perhaps the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., or maybe a historic museum in your hometown? Have you looked at the stones? Huge, strong, granite or marble, they are immovable! Today, Pastor John shows that Christians are stones of a building being made by God. But we’re not inanimate stones; we’re living stones. God’s building is not a static monument. It’s alive and growing. You are part of a new life-form: the church of Christ.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, God’s Privileged People.

There are a lot of things that people place their confidence in. It could be something they’re personally responsible for, like their job, their financial security, or their health. Or it could be a group of people, such as the ability of our government to secure the national defense. But according to Pastor John today, all of these things are shaky and unreliable. But Christians have a solid, secure, permanent foundation: the Living Stone of Jesus Christ. You can be secure when you build your life upon Him.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, Jesus Our Rock.

Think about a time when you were hungry. Not just “ready for dinner.” But really, really, famished hungry. Like you could eat a large double-cheese double-pepperoni pizza and finish it off with two pieces of apple pie. Pastor John says today that Christians should be at least that hungry for the Word of God. How’s your appetite? If you’re not all that eager for God’s Word, is there anything you can do about it? Fortunately, the answer is “Yes.” And it’s all a matter of taking the right approach.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as he continues his message, It’s Time to Grow Up.

You probably know at least one person who seems to be a little “behind” in growing up. Maybe it’s a co-worker. Hopefully it’s not your boss. And of course, you need to look at yourself too. Today, Pastor John shares some new terminology: the “Peter Pan principle,” and the “manolescent.” * Those aren’t great, if you’re talking about your earthly maturity. But it’s even worse if it applies to your spiritual maturity. You don’t have to remain a spiritual infant, though. You can equip yourself to grow in Christ.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, It’s Time to Grow Up.

Have you ever experienced “fake” love? Someone seemed to really care about you, but then you found out they only wanted something from you? Today, Pastor John talks about the plague of insincere love. That’s not the kind of love that God commands from the Christian. God wants you to love your brothers and sisters in a genuine and authentic way. Not “put on.” Not in words only. But with actual, practical, fervent, sacrificial love. Why? Because that’s the way God loves you.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Love One Another.

Probably the most widely debated and most misunderstood word in our culture today is “love.” We hear things like “love is love.” But can we find anything more descriptive than that? “Yes, of course!” says Pastor John today. The real definition of love is found in the Word of God and is exemplified to its highest degree in the life of Jesus Christ. Love means: “to seek the highest good of the beloved.” That’s what Jesus did for you. And that’s what He commands you to do for your brothers and sisters.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Love One Another.

How would you feel if you were in a desperate, hopeless situation, and someone saw you and did something to save you? Today, Pastor John has a message that takes that question even farther. Suppose the person not only saved you, but did so at a great personal cost? What if they sacrificed something precious? What if someone gave his own life to save you? Or, the life of his son? That’s what God did for you: God the Father redeemed you at the price of the blood of His Own Son.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, The Wonder of Redemption.

Sometimes when you’re listening to a Bible message, you hear a lot of big words, like “redemption” and “salvation.” And it’s possible to let those words go in one ear and out the other. But today, Pastor John says, “Hold on!” These are not just interesting theological ideas; they have real, practical ramifications. When you know what it means to be redeemed, that is, that you were purchased and set free, it’s gonna change the way you live. Especially when you know the price that was paid.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, The Wonder of Redemption.

Finish this sentence: God is “blank.” What did you get? Probably a lot of people would say, “love.” Others might say “God is great, God is good.” But do you know what the number one most-referred-to attribute of God is in the Bible? Today, Pastor John tells you: “God is holy.” And that can be puzzling because holiness is probably one of the least well-understood attributes of God. You can be holy because God is holy. But to do that, you first need to understand: “what does ‘holy’ mean?”Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Staying Clean In A Polluted World.

When people think of heaven, what images come to mind? Certainly, there are some who’ve seen the old cartoons of people sitting on clouds playing harps. But there are a lot of better images as well. Streets of gold, tree of life, beautiful city. Today, Pastor John suggests that one of the most amazing things about heaven will be to finally see and understand the magnificent wisdom and beauty of God’s plan of redemption. What you can’t understand here, you will there. And it will be glorious!Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Staying Clean In A Polluted World.
