"End-times Living"
"The end of all things is near.  Therefore, be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray."  
I Peter 4:7

Peter's letter to believers in the first century declares that we are living in the last days.  As then, even so today,  Christians are reminded of how we are to live in the "end-times". Here's a brief overview of what we should be doing: (See I Peter 4:7-11)

1. Pray and keep on praying: All things are established in and through our calling on the Lord. 

2. Love others deeply: Since God first loved us,  we are to love those around us by speaking truth and sharing the good news. 

3. Offer hospitality without grumbling: Be willing to let others into your life and show concern for their well-being. 

4. Employ the gifts God has given you to serve others: Whether through speaking or serving, rely on God's strength and give Him the glory. 

No matter how difficult or dark our times,  remember you are a change agent to bring light, hope and truth to your world. 
Pray, love, share and serve,  in Jesus name!
