In the world of sports, crunch-time is that critical moment when the outcome of a game hangs in the balance.  Spiritually speaking, crunch-time has to do with critical decisions and actions made in critical moments of suffering and testing.  Peter offers sound advice for times like these as he encourages us to humbly give God our cares, soberly resist the devil, and confidently stand in God’s grace. Scripture passage from I Peter 5:5b-12.
