Today’s reading is 2 Peter 2
“These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.”

All,
This stands out because Peter says, “For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome”. Is it possible for any of us to be “entangled in them and overcome”? Can any of us be like the lukewarm church in Revelation? We must know that we are either trusting in the Spirit or trusting in ourselves. Which one is being feed? Please pray that we and our friends feed the Spirit today and dwell in the Spirit all day. Please pray for Doug and Brandon’s group.
