Will You Make Room For God?

2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving     and extol him with music and song. (Psalm 95:2) 7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;     my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy,     and with my song I praise him. (Psalm 28:7) 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you.…

2 Peter 3 (Part 1): Wholesome Thinking, Scoffers, & The Second Coming

1 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. 3 Above all, you must understand that in…

2 Peter 2 (Part 11): Are You Stable or Unstable As A Christian?

12 These false teachers are like unthinking animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed. They scoff at things they do not understand, and like animals, they will be destroyed. 13 Their destruction is their reward for the harm they have done.

2 Peter 2 (Part 4): Judgment For False Teachers & Those Who Follow Them

4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,[a] putting them in chains of darkness[b] to be held for judgment; 5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah…

2 Peter 2 (Part 3): Recognizing False Prophets – Greed

1 But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers,…
