Today’s Feast
Sep. 23, 2014- 2nd
Peter 3
The Lord’s Day Will Come
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen
minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately
three years. Gods
Not Dead!
“17 But you must remember, beloved, the
predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:17
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of 2nd Chapter 3; “The
design here is to remind of Christ's final coming to judgement. (1-4) He
will appear unexpectedly, when the present frame of nature will be dissolved
by fire. (5-10) From
thence is inferred the need for holiness, and stedfastness in the faith. (11-18)
Verses
1-4 The purified minds of Christians are to be stirred up, that they
may be active and lively in the work of holiness… Because they see no
changes, therefore they fear not God, ( Psalms 55:19 )
. What he never has done, they fancy he never can do, or never will do.
Verses
5-10 Had these scoffers considered the dreadful vengeance with which
God swept away a whole world of ungodly men at once, surely they would not
have scoffed at his threatening an equally terrible judgment... Therefore
make sure of happiness beyond this visible world.
Verses
11-18 From the doctrine of Christ's second coming, we are exhorted
to purity and godliness… This is the knowledge of Christ, which the apostle
Paul reached after, and desired to attain; and those who taste this effect of
the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, will, upon receiving such
grace from him, give thanks and praise him, and join in ascribing glory to
him now, in the full assurance of doing the same hereafter, forever.” - Matthew Henry Concise
By
the love and grace of God we have been saved, (see 2 Peter 3:1-4)
yet there are those who would deny God’s very existence to lead us astray. If scoffers
would pray and read God’s Word (see
2 Peter 3:5-10) they would understand how the Lord’s day will come suddenly on all
creation. Destruction and Salvation
will come suddenly, (see 2 Peter 3:11-18) you and I are to be on guard so that we will not be turned aside
from God’s good grace; “18
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To
him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 English Standard Versions
(ESV). As for me and you saints we should
hold on to every good work (see
Colossians
1:10) and continue to grow
in our knowledge of Jesus. Take heart when you get resistance from
ignorant or evil people; “3 More than that, we rejoice in our
sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance
produces character, and character produces hope,” Romans 5:3-4 ESV. Because of our
hope and faith in Jesus (see 1
John 3:3) we will be rewarded on
the Lord’s Day.
Do you hear Jesus calling you? Are you ready now? Do you want to find true
happiness, peace and purpose in your life?

Today’s
Feast
Sep.

Peter 2
False
Prophets and Teachers
Please

“15
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are
ravenous wolves.” Matthew
7:15
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the
book of 2nd Peter Chapter 2;
“Believers are cautioned against false teachers, and the certainty of their
punishment shown from examples. (1-9) An
account of these seducers, as exceedingly wicked. (10-16) But
as making high pretences to liberty and purity. (17-22)
Verses
1-9 Though the way of error is a hurtful way, many are always ready to walk
therein… Take heed what you do. His
wisdom and power will surely effect the purposes of his love, and the
engagements of his truth; while wicked men often escape suffering here, because
they are kept to the day of judgment, to be punished with the devil and his
angels.
Verses
10-16 Impure seducers and their abandoned followers, give themselves up to
their own fleshly minds… Many such there
have been, and are, who speak lightly of the restraints of God's law, and deem
themselves freed from obligations to obey it. Let Christians stand at a distance
from such.
Verses
17-22 The word of truth is the water of life, which refreshes the souls that
receive it; but deceivers spread and promote error, and are set forth as empty,
because there is no truth in them... Is thy backsliding a grief to thee? Believe
in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved.”
- Matthew
Henry Concise
In every age it seems there are those who because of
their own lust pervert the Word of God, (see 2 Peter 2:1-9)
to disguise their own sin. They tear apart religious organizations by
denying God’s Word (see
2
Peter 2:10-16) bringing down those who seek redemption without putting their
faith in Jesus. We see them today boasting in their sin, (see 2
Peter 2:17-22) perverting God’s Holy Word; “ 22
What the true proverb says has happened to them: "The dog returns to its own
vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire."
”
2
Peter 2:22
English Standard Versions (ESV). I’ve
said it before “No Saint should ever apologize for God’s Word, we should live by
it”; (see Matthew
12:31)
but instead there are always those who will commit their life to
sin.
“6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected
knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten
the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
Hosea 4:6
ESV. Those who fear God and seek him in
truth and spirit (see Proverbs
1:7)
will not despise God’s Word. Those who
feast in God’s Holy Word (see Romans
10:17)
will grow strong in their faith.
Is
Jesus calling you? Do you her Him now?

Today’s Feast
Sep. 21, 2014- 2nd
Peter 1

“28 And Agrippa said to Paul, "In a
short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?"” Acts 26:28
An Overview;
“This epistle clearly is connected with the former epistle
of Peter. The apostle having stated the blessings to which God has called
Christians, exhorts those who had received these precious gifts, to endeavour
to improve in graces and virtues. They are urged to this from the wickedness
of false teachers. They are guarded against impostors and scoffers, by disproving
their false assertions, ch. 3:1-7 ,
and by showing why the great day of Christ's coming was delayed, with a
description of its awful circumstances and consequences; and suitable
exhortations to diligence and holiness are given.” - Matthew Henry Concise.
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of 2nd Peter Chapter 1; ”Exhortations
to add the exercise of various other graces to faith (1-11) The
apostle looks forward to his approaching decease. (12-15) And
confirms the truth of the gospel, relating to Christ's appearing to judgment. (16-21).
Verses
1-11 Faith unites the weak believer to Christ, as really as it does
the strong one, and purifies the heart of one as truly as of another; and
every sincere believer is by his faith justified in the sight of God. Faith
worketh godliness, and produces effects which no other grace… Those who are
diligent in the work of religion, shall have a triumphant entrance into that
everlasting kingdom where Christ reigns, and they shall reign with him for
ever and ever; and it is in the practice of every good work that we are to
expect entrance to heaven.
Verses
12-15 We must be established in the belief of the truth, that we may
not be shaken by every wind of doctrine; and especially in the truth
necessary for us to know in our day, what belongs to our peace, and what is
opposed in our time… This is the way to spread the knowledge of the Lord; and
by the written word, they are enabled to do this.
Verses
16-21 The gospel is no weak thing, but comes in power, Ro. 1:16 .
The law sets before us our wretched state by sin, but there it leaves us... Mix
faith with what you find in the Scriptures, and esteem and reverence the
Bible as a book written by holy men, taught by the Holy Ghost.” - Matthew Henry Concise
Paul
is says that we have what we need to live
a life that pleases God (see 2 Peter 1)
we don’t need a man or an organization to interpreted God’s Word because the
Holy Spirit will be our guide and teacher; “20 knowing this first of all, that no
prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. 21 For no
prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they
were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2-peter 1:20-21 English Standard Versions (ESV). No Saint should ever apologize for God’s
Word we should live by it; (see
Romans
1:16) Jesus is the only one
that can save and bless people. “14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” 2 Corinthians 13:14 ESV. Be encouraged by
the love of God (see Psalm
100:1-2) be humble in your
ministry sharing Jesus as the only perfect man who ever lived.

Jesus calling you? Will you answer Him

and rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given the early rain for your
vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the
latter rain, as before.” Joel 2:23 ESV..
