As culture continues to shift and turn against the Christian faith, being a disciple will consist of widespread challenges not experienced by many of us. According to Peter though, it isn’t the challenges from outside of us that we need to be most concerned with- it’s the ones that come from ourselves. We must be vigilant of our own sinful desires before we consider the sins of others. Even more to the point, we must recognize that the challenges we face aren’t just setbacks, but instead they are tremendous opportunities.
