Dear  Saints, Imagine driving on the road leading to Las Vegas. Along the way, many signs warn that the bridge has washed away. You keep on going and even increase your speed with your sunroof down. You are having a great time on this trip but have ignored the many road signs about the washed bridge. Who do you blame when you keep driving and end up in a bottomless pit where the bridge crosses?   The above scenario is close to the picture apostle Peter is painting in 2 Peter 2. False teachers and false living will land many people into the bottomless pit of hell. Unfortunately, this is where we are in present-day churches; it is the greatest deception. These are "wolves in sheep's clothing," according to Jesus.   Let's read Apostle Peter's final warning/conclusion:   "These people [False Teachers] are as useless as dried-up springs or as mist blown away by the wind. They are doomed to blackest darkness. 18 They brag about themselves with empty, foolish boasti...

Dear Saints, We continue our study of 2 Peter. In this short letter of Peter to the suffering pilgrims, he devotes an entire chapter out of three to warning about false prophets/teachers and false prophecies, deceptions, lies, evil living and the pending doom. God does not waste His words and does not speak unnecessarily. Every word from the mouth of God is essential. As such, we must pay close attention to this chapter 2 of Second Peter. Let us read from where we stopped the last time. “For God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment. 5 And God did not spare the ancient world—except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood.   6 Later, God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned them into heaps of ashes. He made th...

Dear Saints, A prophet speaks from God. If you speak and it's not from God and claims it's from God, and what you said did not come to pass, then you are a false prophet.   As we continue our study of 2 Peter, apostle Peter warns his audience about false prophets/prophecies already in their midst and more coming. In the previous chapter, he said a true prophet speaks from God. Listen to Peter:   "But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master [Lord Jesus] who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves.   2 Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered. 3 In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed." 2 Peter 2:1-3   You never can...

Dear Saints, Knowing who is speaking, you listen even if you can't see the person. Many of us do not take the Bible seriously because we have not come to believe in the One speaking.   "In 2022,   49% of Americans view the Bible as inspired by God , but not everything in it is to be taken literally. 29% say the Bible is a collection of fables, history, and moral precepts recorded by man. And 20% of Americans say it is the actual Word of God to be taken literally."- Gallup Poll.   The Bible, a "fable?" Only 20% believe that the Bible is the actual Word of God. It's the Will of God we need to heed. Some have written Will when they die. The family, through probate, carries out the Will to the last word by court order. You get nothing from the estate if your name is not in the Will. Is your name in the Lamb's Book of Life?   As we continue our study of 2 Peter, the apostle lays the foundation/source for life and living. Jesus countering Satan, said,  "I...
