Testimonies are More than Words!

Testimonies Are More Than Words! 

I Peter 2:11-17 

Intro: Last week we learned that one of the privileges of being a child of God is proclaiming His goodness to the world!   Last week we focused on using our verbal testimony to Honor God.  This week though Peter reminds us that our testimony is more that just words.  Peter shows us that our actions at times speak even louder than our words.
