“Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”2 Peter 3:14-18 ESV

All,
This stands out because Peter says, “There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.” Again, I feel like all I comment on are the verses that deal with heresy within the church, but it’s a topic that comes up chapter after chapter as we are reading the end of the New Testament. It also seems like there is exponential effect going on now in society where people are claiming up is down and down is up. Peter says to handle this by “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”. It’s all the more important to read the Word of God, grow in grace and love your neighbor. Please pray that we and our friends pray for wisdom and discernment to be a part of God’s will today. Please pray for men considering CLC.
