We live in a culture that is hungry for meaningful identity.

How does this verse give us an unparalleled identity? 2.) Read John 18:36. When American Christians angrily engage in the "culture war," what are they forgetting? Do you personally think you do a good job of balancing your identity as a Christian who is not of this world, and as an American citizen who is living in this time and place for His glory? 3.) Read 1 Peter 2:15. We are called to silence foolish people, not through force or by engaging in heady debates, but by doing good. Why is doing good works so important for the power of our witness in this world?
