Q4. Pride and Spiritual Gifts
Old Jerry replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in #8. Serving God in Everything (4:1-11)
If people are always promoting themselves and pointing to how God is using them, this says that they are self-absorbed. Their self-worth, maturity, realism and their humility is all about them and not about God. The spiritual gift and God has give me is that of being a servant and try to serve whenever I can. -

Q2. Resisting Temptations to Sin
Old Jerry replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in #8. Serving God in Everything (4:1-11)
Non-Christians are always trying to get you to sin with them because they know that what they are doing is wrong but they want to justify themselves by getting you involved. We are tempted to do so because the devil has made it look so beautiful. We can resist temptation be running from it. Or just leave the situation. -

Q4. Being Considerate
Old Jerry replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in #6. Living as Christian Husbands and Wives (1 Peter 3:1-7)
A husband should relate to his wife with knowledge and wisdom because they are just as knowledgeable and as wise as they are.

This demonstrates self-interest because you know that you have a partner that you can trust to make the right decisions. I suppose that some men try to dominate their wives because they want to feel superior and the same is true with wives that they to dominate their husbands. The harm is that they don -
A person can cultivate inner beauty by being submissive to God. When we are doing what God wants us to us will be building up inner beauty. One gains character by being connected to the bible. It will always guide us in the right direction. Character is so important and precious to God because that is what is in us deep down and not what is at the surface. Character can help a Christian woman win and hang onto her husband because he knows that he can trust her. When he sees that she is doing something that is pleasing, he will probably also want to do something pleasing.

Q1. Priesthood
Old Jerry replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in #3 Being God's Temple, Priesthood, and People (1 Pet 2:4-12)
The mindset of a priest toward God is that of one that is suppose to serve Him and to make sacrifices to Him. The mindset that this inspires in me is that I need to be serving Him by telling others about Him. I am here to worship Him and make offerings to Him. -

Q3. Judgment and Gospel
Old Jerry replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in #2 Living Holy Lives (1 Pet 1:13-2:3)
I think the reason that people in our culture are so upset when they sense they are being judged by someone else is because they are concerned that that person is watching them all the time. I reconcile final judgment with God -
