Good morning, Church.

My name is Anna Stevens, and I get the privilege of serving in Little Village

and in the training program. This morning I'll be reading first Peter

to 11 through 17. Beloved,

I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh,

which wage war against your soul.

Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable so that when they speak against

she was evil doers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of

visitation.

Be subject to the Lord's sake,

for every human institution, whether it be to the Emperor a Supreme,

or to governors ascent by him to punish those who do evil,

and to praise those who do good.

For this is the will of God, that by doing good, you should put to silence

the ignorance of foolish people.

Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil,

but living as servants of God.

Honor everyone, love the Brotherhood, fear God, honor the Emperor.

This is the Word of the Lord.
