A category for distinguishing morning Bible study from all other posts.
Yesterday we covered the concept of fearing God in the verses below. If you would like to check out that study, please see: Fear: The Quest: Day 30.0. Today, I want to look into Peter’s reasoning. Why is it we should conduct ourselves in fear? What separates the believer from the unbeliever such that it …
Today I want to discuss the concept of fear, specifically what it means to conduct ourselves with fear. I know in my own life this has been the subject of some debate. Are we supposed to be afraid of God? Or, does it simply mean we honor him with reverence because He is just so …
In which we take a break from 1 Peter Merry Christmas! I hope someday, when someone reads this, they will be blessed by the various Bible studies this site contains. If you have been reading through in order, then I hope you will forgive me a detour to focus in on Christmas, and just why …
Here we are, four days into covering the same three verses. But, I do believe it is worth our time to reinforce Peter’s exhortation with scripture and commentary from our Christian brothers who have since moved on to claim their inheritance. Today I want to move into verses 15 and 16 and take a look …

We will get into definitions below, but for now, let’s call it inordinate desire. For more on Peter and obedience to Christ, please see Obedience and Blood: The Quest: Day 20.0. …
Today I want to discuss a rather boring-sounding phrase, sober-minded. I think it would be good to explore what it means, and what it doesn’t mean. Or, maybe, what meaning tends to be applied to it, but to which it should not be limited. Let’s look at the verses we are going to cover today. …
13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in …
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11 inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but …
In the last few days we covered 1 Peter 1:3-7. If you would like to read those studies, they can be read here: Day 21.0, and here: Day 22.0. For today’s study we will look at what we believe – what we believe about salvation, faith, and love. We will also look at believing in …
How do we rejoice through hard times? It is a topic covered in both the Old and New Testaments. I think it is a real key to the Christian life. Real joy in the midst of terrible circumstances can only come through the indwelling of the Spirit and a heart and mind focused on the …
