Dr. Boa addresses the practical application of the spheres of God ordained authority. We are people under divinely ordained authority and we are called to a lifestyle of submission. Dr. Boa encourages us to press on to the higher calling of God and to walk in obedience to the things He has called us to pursue.
Peter transitions from addressing the richness of our salvation in Christ to practical application and the pulls that wage war against our souls. Dr. Boa discusses this inner-outward conflict that we all encounter and encourages us to live in such a way that our words and our works and our lives and our lips coincide.
Few people have answered the question: ‘How much is enough?’ and so they are not content. If you are not content with what you have, you surely won’t be content with what you want, because that moving target will continue on. Dr. Boa offers a pathway to contentment which only comes through the living Word of God. This Word of God is not just a moral mirror, but has the power to transform.
Peter invites his readers to embrace God’s narrative not the world’s narrative; to embrace a biblical perspective on life and not what we often would construe for ourselves. This epistle gives a perspective of wisdom, faith, hope, and love and calls us to put our hope in the Living God and His unchanging character and promises.

Ken Boa discusses the hindrance of the false self in our intimacy with God in this third and final part of a three-part commentary on A.W. Tozer’s “Removing the Veil” chapter in his classic “The Pursuit of God.”
In this second part of a three-part commentary on A.W. Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God,” Ken Boa talks about the need to draw near to God—and what hinders us from doing so.
Apart from God, we thrash about desperately, struggling to find our place in this world. Only upon returning to the Maker of our souls does our grinding search end. This is the first of a three-part commentary on A.W. Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God.”

We all have broken stories and Peter wants us to understand that we can rewrite our story. We can imbed our story in a greater narrative that begins and ends well. When we are a part of God’s story our life matters. When we keep an eternal perspective we understand that the adversity and afflictions of this life will only be brief and the glory will endure.
