I Phia-rơ 1:24-25

Is your faith merely a truth of biblical doctrine or truth of transformational experience? It can be both, but we often limit ourselves to one or the other. I pray these biblical meditations will help you experience the transforming presence of the Holy Spirit. That you will encounter and live life according to the Spirit and find the true peace and security you seek in the presence of God.

1 Peter was written to early Christians scattered throughout Asia Minor. Peter called his beloved readers “elect exiles” because they were suffering for their faith and longing for their heavenly home. Desiring to encourage them to live victoriously while trusting the Lord, he identified three living things they had in their sojourning. You also have these things, Christian: a living hope, the living Word, and the living stone–Jesus Christ himself.

The Word of God is our source of light, power, life, and guidance, always available to lead us through life’s challenges and joys. This plan helps your family discover the enduring strength and wisdom of Scripture, equipping you to live purposefully and grow in faith together.
