“2 Peter - Part 4” - April 30th

 How do we handle a world where people will straight up tell you that up is down and black is white?
What do we do when we live in a world that worships sex more than anything else with maybe the exception of money?
If we want to be followers of Christ, we even more get into what living in the spirit and not the flesh means.  Having a relationship with God means living in this world but not being of it.  Which means literally not having this world in you.
You have probably heard the term come out of the world, and that’s really what it means.  Come out from their  thinking, come out from their living, come out from their influences and choose to listen to God’s voice.
I’m afraid that world is a lost cause. Jesus was worried about finding faith on the earth when He returned, and if the faithful such as we don’t uphold the Truth, then the truth will be lost, or, at best, watered down so weakly that it no longer represents the Word.
Peter reminds us that there are dangers, even in the church.  But that doesn’t mean that is what we’re looking for, but rather that we make the Truth and the Light so bright that the fakers are exposed for who they truly are in an obvious manner.
Bless you all for seeking the Truth, seek it rather than trying to destroy the other.  God will uphold His Word and protect it.  He will pull down those strongholds as we walk in the Light.
Be strong and very courageous, for God walks with you to will and to do His good pleasure.
