Peter was the bold one who stepped out of the boat to walk on water... who declared that Jesus was the Christ... who denied Christ three times and who preached a sermon and instantly created a mega-church. So what would Peter say was the most important of all?
The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.Prayer is important, very important, but most important of all, Peter says, is to show deep love for each other. How do we do that? By sharing our home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. When I think about the stalwart Christians I know, very few score well against those criteria. I can even here some of them now... "God wouldn't want me to place myself (my wife, my kids, etc.) at risk by inviting those people to eat and sleep at my house, would he?" I don't know, what does scripture say?
