All right, my Bible in 365, brothers and sisters.

We have made it to the gospel according to Mark, otherwise known as the gospel according to Peter.

Now, I believe that young Mark was disciples by Peter and of course, so much of the gospel account is from the perspective of Peter himself.

Now, why do I bring that up?

Because the story I'm about to read to you is so redeeming.

Now, why is it redeeming?

Because I'm going to tell you a story of one of Peter's greatest failures.

And why is that redeeming?

Because God is a God of redemption.

And why did I choose to share this particular account?

Well, it's really important to talk about this.

Now, let me just simply start off by saying that by no stretch of the imagination,

is it ever okay to cover up for sinful behavior? I think of people that are doing the amazing

work of calling out what is happening in cover upup culture, especially in the charismatic movement,

I think it is great work and I think it needs to be done.

I have a dear friend who's doing a good job at doing this.

He's also associated with Turning Point Faith and I'm pretty proud of him.

But with that said, I also think that the enemy loves to accuse us in our shortcomings.

I think he's very good at it.

I think he's good at causing people to look down upon you based on the things that you have done in the past,

especially those things before you knew the Lord.

We're seeing it happening all over the place, and it is absolutely satanic.
