Stage of fellowship

1. To paraphrase the Lord, the earth was made for man, not man for the earth. It is the stage of fellowship and reconciliation.

2. Rush over to forthrightpress.com and sign up to the new email list. (The invitation will pop up.) Son2 will have an exclusive article as we kick it off.

3. Last class tonight on 1 Peter. We’re finishing the book. Good feeling.

4. Peter closes mentioning the true grace of God, 1 Peter 5.12. Lots of false ideas about grace! Throughout the letter he connects grace with suffering for Christ and always explaining our faith to outsiders.

5. Renovation continues. And continues. It’ll be good when finished. We have an afternoon of peace right now. Rain has put a damper on progress.

6. An original verse: We’ve borne the image of the earthly man, / Now bear the Savior’s stamp of eternal span.

7. A Bible verse: “And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.” 1 Corinthians 15.49 NET.
