So here is my entry for this week. Perhaps I will do more than one. Jesus said that the world would end some day and that we should be waiting patiently, working faithfully and watching diligently. (That would be the gist of this morning's message) This coming week we will talk about some things that will never be shaken. The world will shake rattle and roll some day but there are some things that will not be moved. Will you be one of them. Peter took some time in his second writing to remind us that we should live like He told us to and be ready.
You don't hear much preaching or teaching about living holy but here are Peter's words. . .
"9The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise to return, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so he is giving more time for everyone to repent. 10But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and everything in them will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be exposed to judgment.[a]
11Since everything around us is going to melt away, what holy, godly lives you should be living! 12You should look forward to that day and hurry it along--the day when God will set the heavens on fire and the elements will melt away in the flames. 13But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world where everyone is right with God.
14And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to live a pure and blameless life. And be at peace with God."
Peace to you. Love God and love others like yourself.
