Study3....A Christian is one who is prepared to suffer for the sake of Christ, if necessary. This suffering, as we have seen, is described in detail by Peter.

@Livingwater Study3: Christian 1peter4:12-19 . First, "Christian" was not so much a name that they chose as a name that was applied to them (they "were called Christians"). This is consistent with our observation that it was a term placed upon them by hostile critics. Second, it was a term that was placed on "the disciples." This helps us to establish the meaning of the term: A Christian is a disciple, a follower of Christ, one who clings to the gospel . Furthermore, a Christian is one who is prepared to suffer for the sake of Christ, if necessary. This suffering, as we have seen, is described in detail by Peter. It entails a life patterned after the life and death of Jesus, a life of service to God and others. This is the Scriptural picture of what a Christian is... Let consider the two points 1 .A Christian is someone who WITNESSES FOR CHRIST (Acts 26 :28 ) Here Paul is making his defence before King Agrippa, and notice that he is also pleadin...

@Livingwater Study 5A WHAT TO DO WITH LIFE’S BURDENS (Scripture Portion: Psalm 55) The key-verse of this study is Psalm 55:22. Look it up, for it introduces a theme that must make an appeal to all; we all have to carry burdens! This is a world of burden-bearing. Sorrow and trouble come alike to all mankind. There is no respect of persons; the rich have their share as well as the poor. How true are the statements in Job 5:7 and 14:1! Some have to carry heavier burdens than others, and some of us have little conception of the hidden burdens that some, maybe our own friends, are carrying. Often the deepest and most poignant burdens are not seen. 1 . What kind of burdens do people carry ? 1. Burdens to do with the home. To most of us home is “sweet”, but not to all. In many homes there is poverty, sickness, and strained or broken relationships. 2. The burdens of business responsibilities. 3. Burdens in connection with the Lord’s work (2 Corinthians 11:28). 4. Burdens to do with ou...

@Livingwater Study 1B LOT: A SAVED SOUL – A LOST LIFE (Scripture Portions: Genesis 12: 1-5; 13: 1-13; 14: 1-16; and 19: 1-38) In Genesis 19: 15-16, we read that Lot “hesitated” –- which tells us that his conscience was seared (1 Timothy 4: 2). How slow he was to obey God, even when God had warned him of impending judgment! –- look up 2 Thessalonians 1: 7 – 9. These are some of the most solemn words in the Bible. 3 . Lot had no influence for God . He did not look, walk or act like a man of God, and nobody ever dreamed that he was one. As a believer he should have exerted a powerful influence for the Lord, but because he was so weak and so worldly his influence for God counted for nothing at all. He had no influence with the men of Sodom. We learn this from Genesis 19: 1-11, and particularly notice in verses 7 –- 9 that they laughed him to scorn. The men of Sodom must have despised Lot, and the world despises a worldly, “make-believe” Christian. He had no influence with his chi...
