Finished studying 1-3 John! Studying Revelation next!

Our study of 1st-3rd John was just finished the other day! Those letters talked a lot about walking in the light of truth, loving God and others by sincere and righteous actions towards them, trusting in God as the source of our strength, living pure and holy lives consecrated to Him, and understanding His incredible love and how to live that way towards others! It was truly a blessing from God, as always, to be studying through His word. These letters also warned of the dangers of false teachers whom we must watch out for! Let us always be careful to live by the word of God, not merely the sayings of men. And we should be careful not to be deceived because Satan comes to us as an angel of light! That's a basic summary of what we learned, among other things in our Letters of John study series.

Next up? Revelation!! Starting this study series soon...in about two weeks from now. You can view the page, but sound and other materials will not be available there until two weeks from now.

My you be blessed in the Lord Jesus and seek Him always!

Finished 2nd Peter! Now studying 1st John!

Studying through 2nd Peter was a blessing because this was the last letter of Peter, which we have, that was written before his death. He shared strongly his testimony and witness of how he had seen the 1st coming and power of Jesus Christ as "an eyewitness" (2 Peter 1:16); "We have not followed cunningly devised fables...", he said, but we have believed in the very truth for which Peter lived and died! And, we don't only have to take his word for it! There is also the "sure word of prophecy" (2 Peter 1:19) which we would do well to take heed unto until true faith develops in our hearts! It was also a blessing to consider how our characters must be reshaped from sin to holiness by the power of God, His promises, and our daily choices! Peter stressed that we must become godly as we are waiting for the coming of our Holy God and making plans to live in His new holy land--the earth made new!! Peter stressed that we should not be led astray by false teachers (chapter 2), who make light of sin and live wicked lives! We are to follow holiness because God who is holy said, "Be ye holy for I am Holy!" (1 Peter 1:16). Second Peter was a real blessing for these reasons! I hope you'll check it out and study it!

Now we are beginning the 1st Letter of John and we're off to a good start--learning to "walk in the light as He is in the light!"

God Bless,
Ben

Beginning our study of 2nd Peter! (6-4-2013)

Today we just finished studying through 1st Peter! In the final chapter we learned about God's call to faithful leadership in the church and how leaders should conduct themselves in working with others. We also looked at God's warning about our enemy the Devil going about like a roaring Lion seeking whom he may devour! We are instructed to be sober and alert towards this cunning and dangerous enemy. The Bible says, "Resist [the Devil] steadfast in the faith" (1 Peter 5:9). We are to "resist" the devil "steadfastly in the faith." Let us have this "steadfastness" in the faith, by deep and fervent prayers, diligent searching of the Bible, vigilant watching,  and decided commitment to Christ Jesus! The end is at hand and Satan knows it! Let us be faithful to the Lord!

May God Bless you today! Tomorrow we will begin our study of 2nd Peter!!
