To Whom It May Concern
We must not be afraid of change; for that is what God wants. He wants to change us into the men and women that He made us to be. Just because you pray so many times a day, or you fast for so many days, or you read your Bible everyday does NOT make you a Christian. Those activities are only pleasing to God if your doing it for Him NOT yourself. If you do all those things so you can brag about how good of a Christian you are, then God is not pleased with your actions. In Matthew 16:24-27 Jesus tells us that, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.” We must deny ourselves first, then take up our cross and follow Him. What you are doing by your boasting is making you look like the “super-Christian” yet doing nothing but hurting the image of Christ because your actions do not back up your words.
I’m not telling you to stop reading the Bible or do anything like that, because we do need to for our own growth. However, I am telling you to do that with a heart of worship. Allow God to change you with His words He has so lovingly given us. Allow God to change your life, so that He can better use you for His purpose He made you.
You cannot love both God and the world, you must let one go. God will raise the bar for you, and He will also raise you to meet His goal. God will always love you no matter what you’ve done or will ever do. In fact, He’s known you and every action you’d ever do before He created the World!! The world on the other hand hates you. It will lower the bar and makes sure you meet it. It will not love you unless you are filthy rich and live consistently in it’s evil changes. Even when the world does love you, it will only be for a few moments. Did the world not welcome our Lord and Savior with palm branches singing, “Hosanna!”? Did the world also not crucify the same Lord and Savior a few weeks after that?? The point is, you cannot serve both God and the world; and God will never disappoint you while the world will do nothing but disappoint you.
“If there is no God, then nothing matters; but if there is a God then nothing else matters.”

A Glimpse in the Life of Peter
- Brought to Jesus by his brother Andrew (previously a follower of John the Baptist) (John 1:40-42)
- Occupation: fisherman, left to follow call to be "Fishers of Men" (Matthew 4:18-20)
- Jesus heals Peter’s mother-in-law (Matthew 8:14)
- First to proclaim Jesus as Christ of God (Luke 9:18-20)
- Saw Jesus talk to Moses and Elijah on Mt of Transfiguration and requested to stay there (Luke 9:28-36)
- Temporarily Walked on Water with Jesus (Matthew 14:22-33)
- Attempted to resist Jesus from washing his feet (John 13:8-10)
- Boldly proclaimed he would die for Jesus (John 13:36-38)
- Attacked guard cutting off ear- Jesus rebuked him (Matthew 26:50-54)
- Followed Jesus at a distance and denied him three times that night- Ran away weeping bitterly (Matthew 26:34, 69-75)
- Ran to tomb news he has risen (Luke 24:12, John 20:1-9)
- Swam and embraced Jesus when seeing him after miracle of catching fish (John 21:7-14)
- Jesus reinstated Peter by asking him three times if he loved Jesus (John 21:15-19)
- Peter is told how he will die, then asked about John- was rebuked to not worry of such (John 21: 18-22)
- Became prominent leader and speaker after Pentecost boldly proclaiming Jesus to same people he denied Jesus to weeks before. (Acts 2:14-41)
- Acted hypocritical around Gentiles (Galatians 2:11-21)
- Was shown that Gospel is for Gentiles, not just Jews (Acts 10)
- Writes two letters to the scattered church/God's elect: (1 & 2 Peter)
- Died being crucified upside-down (Tradition)
Peter always acted and spoke before thinking. Thus the result of him walking on water (and nearly drowning when he looked away from Jesus), and boldly proclaimed he would die for Jesus (when instead he denied him three times). Yet something happened which made this lowly fisherman one of the greatest leaders and teachers in history. He lead the movement of the Church boldly proclaiming Christ's resurrection even to the point of death. Looking at his actions during his tenure with Jesus he would never do such especially when you consider his denial during Christ's trial and hiding after his death. How can a man filled with such fear suddenly turn around and boldly proclaim the very thing he couldn't weeks or even days before? The only conclusion is Jesus Christ resurrected. No man can or would live out such a lie to the point of death. Instead, he witnessed, spoke with, and even touched the resurrected Christ. He became the "Rock" whom Christ built the church on. Yet, even though Peter became this great leader through the Holy Spirit (Christ in us)- he still had his faults proving his humanity and showing that God can use anyone in his kingdom- not just the "perfect".
God doesn't call the equipped, he equips the called.
