1 Peter, Lesson 3 and Lesson 4

This week's posting includes notes and links from our last two sessions during which we discussed 1 Peter, chapters 3 and 4, Lessons 3 and 4.  Now that we're all caught up, we're ready to move on to Lesson 5, which covers the final chapter of Peter's first letter.

In addition to the notes for each lesson, I am also including a couple of links that I had promised...

The first is a book recently made available on the FORMED website in preparation of the Lenten season. The file is available for download in several formats.




Meditations for Lent







The second is a link I had provided once before, but the subject came up in conversation again, and I wanted to make it easy for everyone who hasn't had the opportunity to watch this program to do so.  It is a recording of the program, Faith and Reason, out of Franciscan University.  The episode is called "Islam and ISIS" and features Robert Spencer, the director of the organization Jihad Watch. This panel discussion is extremely informative, and I promise will be an eye-opening experience to the very real threat we face and yet seem, as a country, to be unable to speak truthfully about out of a fear of seeming intolerant, I guess.  If you watch it, please let us know what you think.

And finally, here are my notes from Lessons 3 and 4.  I am also including some extra notes that I had taken from various sources for Lesson 3 regarding the meaning of the word "submissive."  I knew that the discussion about 1 Peter 3 would focus on the opening passage about the relationship between husbands and wives, and I wanted to be prepared!
