Have you failed the Lord?&nbsp; We all struggle with the world, the flesh and the devil.&nbsp; The rooster logo reminds us of the Apostle Peter, who denied Christ three times before the cock crowed, just as Christ had foretold him.&nbsp; But after the resurrection, Jesus tells the women in Mark 16, \u201cGo get the disciples and Peter\u201d as if Peter, was too ashamed to come. In John 21, Christ restores Peter, where Jesus asked Peter three times, \u201cPeter do you love me?\u201d&nbsp; By the third time, you can sense Peter\u2019s agony and frustration saying, \u201cLord, you know all things, you know I love you!\u201d Then Jesus instructs him again, \u201cFeed my sheep.\u201d Peter was often the spokesman for the 12 disciples, and it seems they all failed the Lord as Jesus went to the Cross to pay for our sins. But they were forgiven again and again and&nbsp; recommissioned to advance Christ\u2019s Great Commission, doing their part with the Helper, the Holy Spirit.&nbsp; Christ said in response to Peter\u2019s solid profession of faith in Matthew 16, \u201cUpon this rock I will build My Church&#8230;\u201d&nbsp; We believe every Christian has a place to serve in advancing God\u2019s Kingdom. If you love Church history, you can find a rooster on the top of St. Peter\u2019s Church in Scotland.&nbsp; We know from the Bible, that Christians&nbsp;<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">are called to&nbsp; daily repentance and the pursuit of holiness.
