Why is it so difficult to sustain a reverential and humble attitude toward God? It is because, embedded in our fallen human nature, there is a clash between two opposing value systems.
When will Christ return? Although the false teachers of Peter’s day thought that His delay meant He would not come back, Peter reminds his readers that God’s timing is not our own.
Are you happy in this life? Join Ken Boa in this new series and learn about how the wisdom of recognizing the lordship of Christ brings us joy.
Just as the flood came without warning, so Jesus will return like a thief in the night (2 Peter 3:10). Therefore, we must be ready at any moment, not presuming upon God’s patience, but living in light of our eternal home He is preparing for us.
Does death make you afraid? If you have been raised with Christ, death is the moment when you enter into the presence of God.
Like Stephen, we must understand that for us who trust in Jesus, death is the doorway to the Kingdom of God. It is a coronation ceremony.
Stewardship extends beyond finances and giving to time management. Like other finite resources, time is limited. Therefore, let us learn how to use it wisely.
Ken Boa introduces the reality of spiritual warfare in the believer’s life. Scripture upholds this middle territory of demonic and angelic powers. A healthy balanced view of this warfare is important for a victorious Christian life.
Peter encourages his readers, in light of the brevity of life, to be stewards of the grace of God. To live each day with a doxological purpose. In speaking and in service, make it such for the glory of God.
Dr. Boa continues his discussion of the practical application of the spheres of God ordained authority. Peter transitions from governing authorities to that of the work place. There is no dichotomy between the sacred and the secular. We are called to do our work as to the Lord rather than for men. As we look to Him as the Source and to Him for the outcome, we pursue a higher standard than we would otherwise.
