1:5 - How important is it to live out your faith boldly in your family? HUGE! As a father it is my duty to pour the power of truth of the gospel into my children...it is their choice to grab a hold of that truth (But they're still gonna go to church no matter what if they are living in my house!). If you are a student living at home, you can also lead through the example of your faith.
1:9 - God did not call us because we are "good" enough - He called us because HE is good enough!
1:12 - If you know what you believe and who you believe in...if you truly know it - you will be able to live boldly and powerfully for God in this world.
1:14 - Tap into the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells within you as a believer, and fight to protect the faith that has been planted within you.

Look who woke up in the morning and was completed bored with the election coverage in the UK.
Good Morning. I have always recalled verse 7 as a spirit of power and love but have overlooked the spirit of self-discipline. There are parts of my life I need to fan the flame of self-discipline. No longer will I accept the excuse from another christian that they just can't help themselves.
Verse 12, Paul really took on the burden and responsibility of carrying the gospel throughout the world. I should have the same tenacity in my world, i.e, work, church, neighbors, etc...
Peace.
