As I sit here holding my newborn baby there are many thoughts and emotions that constantly run through my mind. First of all, of course, there is the joy and excitement that comes from this occasion. Being able to look into his little eyes and see the purity of his heart. Being able to look at him and know that he is truly a blessing from God, a creature that was made in His own image (Gen. 1:26). I also, however, can’t help but have some thoughts of fear. I am scared knowing the way the world is turning, the way the people of this earth…

During our recent study of I Samuel, we noticed how Eli’s sons did not know the Lord (2:12). We also saw that Samuel’s sons, Joel and Abijah, did not walk in their father’s way (8:3). The question then becomes why? Were Eli and Samuel not the father they ought to be?

Peter urged the church to stand firm in his first letter and he does so again in the second. This is the theme of II Peter; to stand firm by growing and not departing from sound teachings. Within this theme, Peter offers several reminders:

1. Godly living is the evidence of salvation. If Christians really believe what they say they believe, they will display moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, kindness, and love. II Peter 1:3
2. Scriptural truth and prophecy are only from God. The teachings Peter and the apostles passed on weren't something they invented; they were eyewitnesses…
