Weird title, I know. That might be because I am currently typing this in my kitchen while cooking Costa Rican crepes. If you haven't listened to the radio, typed a blog, and cooked Costa Rican crepes at the same time yet... you should definetely give it a try. No joke, that bizarre combination has inspired me to recall lessons I learned in chapel today. So anyway, Pearce was talking about good 'ol Peter. A normal, act-before-you-think type of guy always wanting to impress Jesus who was transformed by the power of the Holy Spirt. The same God that resided in Peter after Pentacost is in all believers! It's unbelieveable that we ignore the power we can have if we only live for Christ. He can get us through anything and will give us victory over sin if we make Him our ultimate love. The thing that really stuck with me was Peter's denial of Christ. We are quick to roll our eyes at Peter's bold argument with the CREATOR of the UNIVERSE that he would never deny Him and would die with Him. But, just because we don't have servant girls coming up to us and asking if we are followers of Christ, we deny Him every day. Pearce alluded to this, but my thoughts kept exploring the truth further.
We deny our Lord and Savior every day.
I was surprised to find out how true it really was:
When I am afraid... I'm denying His protection.
When I am upset... I'm denying His sovereignty.
When I complain... I'm denying His provision.
When I take praise... I'm denying His glory.
The list goes on... when we sin, we deny all that Christ did for us in the sense that we aren't showing others joy. We seem to not really believe that He is in control. We play the hypocrite.
Don't deny! I BELIEVE JESUS IS THE CHRIST THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD! May that rooster never crow for me!

For those of you still wondering, "What's with the crepes?" I have a Spanish country report that I'm doing on Costa Rica with Esther and I'm testing out the recipe for our presentation next week. They taste pretty good, almost like a waffle cone.
For those of you still wondering, "What IS a crepe?" It's a thin pancake made with egg batter typically associated with the French. ooh la la
For those of you still wondering, "How do you say crepe?" Just say grape and replace the g with a hard c.
For those of you still wondering, "When will this post be over?" The answer? Right about...
Now.
