May 28th -- "The Day of the Lord" 2 Peter 3:1-2
Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. I want you to RECALL the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
The word of the Prophets & the Command given by our Lord and Savior through your Apostles.
Sounds to me like we are encouraged to RECALL. How can we recall if we have not heard, through study?? "...but it is enough for me to go to church most Sunday's and gain my knowledge from a 35 minute sermon." "Besides, I am way too busy to "study", to read, and to meditate on the Word of God."
But...if we do not know the Word then how will we stand up to the "scoffers" that will come in these last days?
vs. 17 Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, BE ON YOUR GUARD so that you may not be carried away by the ERROR of lawless men and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
If we are to WAJD then we must grow in grace (and knowledge)..
How do we grow in grace?? Does anyone have an idea?
