0:07.0	When we live our lives, according to God's design, we're not the only ones who are blessed
0:28.7	in the process. Today on Truth for Life, we'll learn how living a Christian life will commend
0:34.4	the gospel and attract others to Jesus, maybe bringing some to salvation.

0:52.2	We need be in no doubt as to Peter's objective in writing this letter.
0:57.1	He tells us in the 12th verse of chapter 5 that he has written briefly encouraging us
