Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten speaking on the subject, An Expectant Attitude Toward Christ (1 Peter 4:7). 
           “Be sober,” means keep your mind steady ad clear, keep cool. We hear of people who go off-balance on prophecy or misinterpretations of prophecy. There are people who set false dates for the return of Christ. Matt. 23:13; Acts 1:6-8. False claims are made to the embarrassment of the writer, or some new interpretation of the Scriptures. Exercise restraint on prophecy and the affairs of life. 1 Tim. 3:2; Titus 2:1-6. The world is susceptible to false thinking. Lk 12:31-48. Be faithful to whatever job God has given you. Rom. 14:10-23; 2 Cor. 5:1-21. The word “watch” indicates alertness and self-control. 1 Thess. 5:6-8; Mk. 14:37-40; Mk. 13:33; 14:38; Eph. 6:18; Col. 4:2. There is no place in the Christian life for lazy routine, lifeless praise. Neh. 4:9. Expedient attitude toward Christ’s return requires a balanced worship life. If our thinking and prayer are right, our living should be right. Love for the saints is important, above all things. Jn. 13:34-35. Love should be fervent, like an athlete straining to reach a goal, a dedicated will. Prov. 10:12. Love covers all sins. James 5:20; 1 Cor. 4:13.
