Faithful Living No Matter What

Several people have asked why we’re memorizing 2 Peter 1:2-12.  

In an effort to help people understand what Peter was trying to do when he wrote the Church I and II Peter, I spent a few minutes talking about the persecution Christ’s followers were enduring under Nero. Knowing God calls us to faithful living – no matter how difficult our circumstances – helps all of stay the course.

We must learn to live as faithful followers of Christ. To that end, I’m asking you to participate in our Journey Bible Class each Wednesday for the rest of February. I’m asking everyone to memorize 2 Peter 1:2-12. To help you with that task, I’ve asked Ron Vandergriend to teach, three weeks in a row, on that text.  I willingly sit at Ron’s feet, to study and learn, every chance I get.

Studying 2 Peter 1:2-12 will strengthen and encourage you.  And your participation in Journey will encourage others to start growing. So will you ask two or three of your friends to join you for Journey this month? What they learn may empower them to stay on mission for the rest of their lives.

2 Peter 1:10b-11  -  For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
