Peter was pragmatic. He and James both had a handle on coaching the believers in everyday challenges. Hence the admonition regarding sin, “Rid yourselves ie. ‘Stop it!'”

Too many coddle sin. You must deal firmly with it. Have no mercy. Get it out.

How does sin come out? Through the mouth.

“If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” [1 Jn. 1:9]

PRAYER: Father, we want to please You with our daily lives. We desire to see Your glory emanate from everything we do.
