Psalms 101:1-8 Verse 3, no eyes for wickedness. Am I drawn toward God or away from him by all that I take in from media, entertainment, and other messages? Action point for today?

II Peter 3:.10-18. Verse 11, what is my specific personal goal at present for increasing in holiness and godliness?
Mark 14:66-72. What kind of coercion or threat can I imagine being under that might tempt me to deny Jesus as Peter did? On what basis am I confident of not doing so?
