We have been established for over 100 years and have been

pleasing and displeasing customers ever since. We have

made money and lost money, suffered the effects of coat
nationalization, coat rationing, government control, and bad
payers. We have been cussed and discussed, messed about,
lied to, held up, robbed, and swindled. The only reason we
stay in business is to see what happens next.
OUT OF
THE PIT
1 PETER 5:5-10

Likewise you younger people, submit

yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be
submissive to one another, and be clothed
with humility, for
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
Therefore humble yourselves under the
mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you
in due time, casting all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you.
1 PETER 5:5-10

Be sober, be vigilant; because your

adversary the devil walks about like a
roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing
that the same sufferings are experienced by
your brotherhood in the world. But may the
God of all grace, who called us to His
eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have
suffered a while, perfect, establish,
strengthen, and settle you.
