We quote that scripture all the time. We bolster our faith and step out. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. But it’s never about doing the great miracles of God that counts. When we are away from our church community and a test or trial comes your way, what do you do? When people tell an off colored joke, do you laugh? Do you listen while people tell the sorted details of their life? Do you watch a TV show with your family that proudly displays everything you stand against? The apostle Peter followed Jesus the night He was arrested by the religious leaders. Peter and John followed Jesus to the religious leaders home. They got in because they knew John. Peter stayed in the courtyard. Before sunrise, 3 people asked Peter if he knew Jesus. Peter denied Jesus 3 times, by the time the cock crowed. Peter looked at Jesus and begin to cry. It said he cried for days. God forgave him and brought him back. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation.” (Roman’s 1:16) KJV.
