Dear Saints, I woke up yesterday to a CNN headline, "Southern Europe burns under 'pizza oven' effect as extreme heat strikes globally." It further reads, "Blisteringly high temperatures are expected to continue across parts of southern Europe this week, as the continent braces for its second extreme heat wave, putting people's health at risk and setting the stage for wildfires." CNN online 7/19/23. It is the same story all over the world. Are these signs of things to come? The world hasn't seen anything yet. The Scripture is very true as we have been meditating on 2 Peter. Hear the words of Peter again: "But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment. " 2 Peter 3:10. Listen to European forecasters: "Last week's "Cerberus" heat wa...

  Dear Saints, What do you do while waiting for a loved one who went on a distant journey to return?   You know for sure he is coming, but you don't know the exact time of arrival. Don't you wait patiently, knowing you will be overjoyed when you see him? Don't you prepare and clean the house and get other things ready?   Don't you make his favorite food and all that makes him happy? Don't you tell your friends, co-workers, other family members, and many others about the return of your loved one?   Don't you live with excitement and profound joy even when your loved one hasn't yet arrived?   Do you listen to a contrary message from someone who doesn't know your loved one and has not been in touch with him? Do you believe when this person says your loved one is not returning?   Do you engage in activities that would embarrass your loved one, knowing he may find you doing so when he returns? Do you start fighting with your neighbors, friends, and family and...

Dear Saints,   There are the last days; there is also the day of the Lord—two different things and events. One is a period, and the other is a fixed day/date.   Jesus spoke about both while answering the disciples' questions in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 7. Please read and study these words of Jesus in addition to the book of Revelation regarding the end times and the day of the Lord.   As we continue our study of 2 Peter, let us hear the apostle Peter speak about the day of the Lord, which is the day of Judgment on the earth:   "But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve Judgment.   11 Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live, 12 looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day,...

Dear Saints, As a man [woman] thinketh in his heart, so is he. What occupies your thinking and mind in these end times?   As we continue our study of 2 Peter, apostle Peter would now conclude his letter to his suffering pilgrim friends. His primary concern and encouragement are to renew their minds to wholesome thinking on the last days powered by the word of God.   Let's listen to Peter speak the word of God:   "This is my second letter to you, dear friends, and in both of them I have tried to stimulate your wholesome thinking and refresh your memory. 2 I want you to remember what the holy prophets said long ago and what our Lord and Savior commanded through your apostles.   3 Most importantly , I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires . 4 They will say, "What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the sa...
