Why hasn’t God put an end to evil? If it were on our terms, we would eliminate the cruel world leaders, murderers, thieves, natural disasters, and diseases. But God’s approach is far more radical.
George Dennehy was born without arms. But even in the midst of his suffering, he has hope. Why? Because he knows God has a purpose in it.

Peter talks about the surprising power and gift of grace that comes upon us which overcomes adversity and suffering. When we keep an eternal perspective, God gives us peace, patience and comfort in a way that transcends the circumstances of life.
Peter encourages his readers, in light of the brevity of life, to be stewards of the grace of God. To live each day with a doxological purpose. In speaking and in service, make it such for the glory of God.
Peter invites his readers to see that our outlook will determine the things we pursue and treasure and value. And so we want to pursue the will of God and His promises. We want to live a life that demands an explanation as an agent of light, grace and love; giving rather than expecting in return and entrusting ourselves to Him for the outcome.
Dr. Boa focuses on two verses (1 Peter 3:8-9) a little transitional section dealing with our relationship with the believing community as well as our relationship to those who oppress and oppose us. It is a lifestyle of love.
Jesus calls us to a living hope; a hope that will not die. A hope that is so transformative that it will produce an inheritance. Dr. Boa expounds on the four qualities of the inheritance and the legacy that we share with Christ as co-heirs, as sons and daughters of the King.
