  • GREG CLAY—1 PETER (YOUTH SUITE IN THE ARK)

We live in a culture where everything is upside down. It's a time of upheaval and uncertainty. Does God bring us into this world and tell us to just figure it out on our own? Of course not. And fortunately, He uses one of Jesus' "best buds" to allow us to know exactly how to behave . . . in any time and place.
