1 Peter 3:14b-16a “Do not fear what they fear and do not be intimidated, but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence.” God, may your church fear you and your judgment more than other human beings. Lord Jesus, we give you the throne of our hearts in order that you may govern our thoughts, words, and deeds to our re-creation and your glory. Make your church holy and wholly yours.
