in 1 Peter 3:3-5. There, the Apos- tle admonished that our worship of God should “not be the out- ward adorning of plaiting the hair and of wearing of gold, or of put- ting on of apparel...” Rather we should follow hard after the Lord and live our lives according to His precepts. The scriptures states, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all oth- er things will be added unto you.” in this world, there is no hope. One day, this body will be discarded and the inner man will be called up for judgment. That should be our fo- cus, not on the body that will be wasted here. Samuel is a deacon in his local church and looks forward to get- ting into full time ministry by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Un- til then (and even beyond then) he sees the world as his pulpit. As the Spirit leads him, he is resolved to preach the message of the gos- pel of the kingdom of God, get- ting people ready for the second advent of the Lord Jesus Christ.
