This is Keisha Hi, this 00:00:10.330 --> 00:00:12.089 is Leslie Sullivan and welcome to the mustard 00:00:12.089 --> 00:00:22.510 seed podcast Well, welcome back around the table 00:00:22.510 --> 00:00:25.269 we are so glad that you guys are back here joining 00:00:25.269 --> 00:00:27.910 us and having these conversations with us and 00:00:27.910 --> 00:00:32.390 digging in to the word of God with us and listening 00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:36.429 to our Our interpretations, you know are the 00:00:36.429 --> 00:00:39.869 way we saw it and way God's telling us and hopefully 00:00:39.869 --> 00:00:42.829 You guys see it too. And hopefully you guys are 00:00:42.829 --> 00:00:46.469 talking back to us when you don't Let us have 00:00:46.469 --> 00:00:53.789 it But we are continuing on with Our man Peter 00:00:53.789 --> 00:00:59.350 here we went through first Peter You know already 00:00:59.350 --> 00:01:01.109 and so now we're just gonna keep moving on and 00:01:01.109 --> 00:01:05.750 we're gonna go through second Peter We're not 00:01:05.750 --> 00:01:07.150 really gonna give you too much history because 00:01:07.150 --> 00:01:09.469 again, we just went through first Peter and this 00:01:09.469 --> 00:01:12.590 is gonna be in about 6880 so this is about four 00:01:12.590 --> 00:01:16.370 years after first Peter was written, you know 00:01:16.370 --> 00:01:21.989 right before his death, but This is likely This 00:01:21.989 --> 00:01:25.129 part is likely either after a rate around the 00:01:25.129 --> 00:01:32.530 time that of the burning of Rome Yeah Because 00:01:32.530 --> 00:01:34.730 that's really when everything amped up. So, you 00:01:34.730 --> 00:01:36.969 know, this is obviously before Peter had passed 00:01:36.969 --> 00:01:40.629 but not He that was the year he passed. So the 00:01:40.629 --> 00:01:43.510 year that he was he was murdered. I say murdered 00:01:43.510 --> 00:01:48.430 murdered both A little bit of everything in there. 00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:55.489 Yep. It's true tortured Above all we know etc, 00:01:55.489 --> 00:02:00.670 etc, etc, right? Yeah But again, so he is in, 00:02:00.689 --> 00:02:04.290 he's written to, not in, I guess, yeah, he's 00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:07.629 written to Asia Minor, to modern -day Turkey, 00:02:08.090 --> 00:02:15.460 Italy, Turkey area. So chapter one says. This 00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:18.840 letter is from Simon Peter, a slave and apostle 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.099 to Jesus Christ. I am writing you to who who 00:02:22.099 --> 00:02:24.639 share the same precious faith we have. This faith 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.319 was given to you because of the justice and fairness 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.539 of Jesus Christ our God and Savior. May God give 00:02:30.539 --> 00:02:33.379 you more and more grace and peace as you grow 00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:36.099 in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.759 By his divine power God has given us everything 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.659 we need for a living daily living a godly life 00:02:44.659 --> 00:02:48.460 sorry we have received all of this by coming 00:02:48.460 --> 00:02:51.340 to know him the one who called us to himself 00:02:51.340 --> 00:02:54.000 by means of his marvelous glory and excellence 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.300 and because of his because of his glory and excellence 00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:03.360 he has given us great and precious promises These 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.460 are the promises that enable you to share his 00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:07.960 divine nature and escape the world's corruption 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.300 caused by human desires.

But those who fail to develop in this 00:03:42.819 --> 00:03:45.520 way are short -sighted or blind, forgetting that 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.780 they have been cleansed from their old sins. 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.020 So dear brothers and sisters, work hard and prove 00:03:52.020 --> 00:03:54.800 that you are really among these God has called 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.780 and chosen.

So I will 00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:25.920 work hard to make sure you always remember these 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.269 things after I'm gone. We are not making up clever 00:04:30.269 --> 00:04:32.370 stories when we told you about the powerful coming 00:04:32.370 --> 00:04:34.850 of our Lord Jesus Christ We saw his majestic 00:04:34.850 --> 00:04:37.829 splendor with our own eyes When we received the 00:04:37.829 --> 00:04:40.329 honor and glory from God the Father the voice 00:04:40.329 --> 00:04:43.250 of the majestic glory said to him.

I don't know 00:08:33.470 --> 00:08:37.909 if I'm being clear on that, but the disciples 00:08:37.909 --> 00:08:40.909 knew. They knew. They knew exactly. They knew. 00:08:46.129 --> 00:08:49.509 That's scary. I love, though, you know, he's 00:08:49.509 --> 00:08:52.509 talking about make every effort to respond to 00:08:52.509 --> 00:08:54.629 God's promise, supplement your faith with generous 00:08:54.629 --> 00:08:56.750 provision of moral excellence, you know, and 00:08:56.750 --> 00:08:59.909 he's just he goes down the list here and, you 00:08:59.909 --> 00:09:02.750 know, verses five through seven. And it's that 00:09:02.750 --> 00:09:05.610 go and tell you're going to you're going to go 00:09:05.610 --> 00:09:07.049 out, you're going to tell, but you're also going 00:09:07.049 --> 00:09:12.429 to show. Yeah. Right. It's like. And it's me 00:09:12.429 --> 00:09:17.090 saying it first. It's like, James. It's that 00:09:17.090 --> 00:09:21.149 faith without works is dead. So your faith is 00:09:21.149 --> 00:09:23.110 what it is, but so you're, but you need to, you 00:09:23.110 --> 00:09:26.149 can go out, but you can tell people all you want, 00:09:26.149 --> 00:09:29.529 but you need to show it. You know, you need to 00:09:29.529 --> 00:09:34.610 have these moral excellence and self -control 00:09:34.610 --> 00:09:38.929 and patience and godliness and brotherly affection 00:09:38.929 --> 00:09:44.539 and a love for everyone. Again, I want to know 00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:47.440 how is it that I feel like again we touch on 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:52.139 this But yet we get so we don't get it but people 00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:56.600 Forget this part how how is it not as clear to 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.899 others as it is to me or is it again am I Misinterpreting 00:09:59.899 --> 00:10:02.500 the Bible that we're supposed to love everybody 00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:04.919 Am I do I have the wrong version should I have 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:08.779 a different? You know, I don't know. I think 00:10:08.779 --> 00:10:13.539 it's the we don't want to work at it And the 00:10:13.539 --> 00:10:16.220 world you're talking about involves work. That's 00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:19.159 true. You know, that's exactly. And you know, 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.879 as he's writing those verses, you know, verse 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:29.700 five through seven, you know, it's also a progression, 00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:32.259 you know, because we're supposed to work at it. 00:10:32.259 --> 00:10:34.659 And as we work, we grow deeper and deeper and 00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:38.679 deeper. You know, it's not a it's it's not a 00:10:39.690 --> 00:10:45.409 You know still waters it's it's a constant. Mm 00:10:45.409 --> 00:10:55.529 -hmm Yeah, dick Yeah, well It's like one of those 00:10:55.529 --> 00:11:00.049 can you imagine going through life without Your 00:11:00.049 --> 00:11:02.990 your parents or your spouse or you know those 00:11:02.990 --> 00:11:06.250 key people in your world that helped you To keep 00:11:06.250 --> 00:11:11.039 growing and keep going while you're being stretched 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.480 to do things you didn't think you were supposed 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.960 to be doing. And I can't imagine doing that without, 00:11:19.659 --> 00:11:22.279 I mean, obviously my father passed a few years 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.259 ago, so it's hard doing it without him, but I 00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:26.399 also have all these wonderful memories of watching 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.799 him do it that encouraged me to do it even in 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:34.960 the midst of uncertainty or disaster or hard 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:36.720 people to work with or hard people to be around, 00:11:36.820 --> 00:11:39.379 you know, all the things. But because I've had 00:11:39.379 --> 00:11:41.379 that example of my dad, I have my current example 00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:43.220 with my mom, I have, you know, I have a husband, 00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:47.720 I've got great friends, you all included. I've 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:53.559 got people who... But he puts us with the cloud 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.779 of witnesses that we're supposed to have around 00:11:55.779 --> 00:11:58.399 us to do the work he's also set before us to 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.960 do. And that's why we have to keep growing and 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:07.889 striving and figuring it out day by day. The 00:12:07.889 --> 00:12:10.889 best news is we don't have to do it alone. I 00:12:10.889 --> 00:12:16.210 also like that he's not sharing a full testimony 00:12:16.210 --> 00:12:20.230 here. So he's not following in full Paul's footsteps 00:12:20.230 --> 00:12:25.490 or anything. But he's saying, we saw Jesus. We're 00:12:25.490 --> 00:12:28.789 here because we saw it. We were a part of it. 00:12:28.830 --> 00:12:30.610 And we want to make sure that you understand 00:12:30.610 --> 00:12:34.929 that it's valid. It was real.

I 00:12:45.269 --> 00:12:48.789 know for something they made up. Yeah you know 00:12:48.789 --> 00:12:52.830 that that what is that the Babylon be right is 00:12:52.830 --> 00:12:56.370 that that They you know they put out a video 00:12:56.370 --> 00:12:58.450 again They don't know we're talking about this. 00:12:58.610 --> 00:13:01.649 This is not only because I saw it. Yeah, we're 00:13:01.649 --> 00:13:03.509 not looking for endorsements. This is just a 00:13:03.509 --> 00:13:06.549 video that I saw, you know, and it had the had 00:13:06.549 --> 00:13:10.750 the disciples. You know, altogether around the 00:13:10.750 --> 00:13:13.129 bonfire after Jesus passed, you know, and they're 00:13:13.129 --> 00:13:14.990 all kind of talking like, what do you do now? 00:13:15.049 --> 00:13:17.490 Like, what's going to go on? And then one of 00:13:17.490 --> 00:13:19.049 them and I'm, you know, I would assume at this 00:13:19.049 --> 00:13:21.309 point because of how we know that would be Peter, 00:13:21.429 --> 00:13:23.649 right, saying, OK, OK, this is what we're going 00:13:23.649 --> 00:13:26.340 to do. You know, we're going to. we're gonna 00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:29.360 go in and we're gonna take the Lord's body and 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.840 we're gonna hide him and then we're gonna tell 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:32.460 everybody he rose again. And they're like, yeah, 00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:34.740 that's awesome. Why are we gonna do this? So 00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:39.909 we can die. So we can be persecuted. Like, OK, 00:13:40.070 --> 00:13:41.830 well, when do we get the glory? We don't work. 00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:44.730 The whole goal is just so that way we can, you 00:13:44.730 --> 00:13:47.009 know, and I mean, I'm killing it because the 00:13:47.009 --> 00:13:49.889 video is hilarious because it's true. Yeah. Why 00:13:49.889 --> 00:13:53.169 would they have stuck to it? Why would they have 00:13:53.169 --> 00:13:55.830 suffered the way that they did? Everybody but 00:13:55.830 --> 00:14:00.549 John, you know? Yeah. Why? Why would they have 00:14:00.549 --> 00:14:04.750 done that? Yeah, when I question I know it's 00:14:04.750 --> 00:14:07.529 true and I question my own self like would I 00:14:07.529 --> 00:14:11.009 have been able to do it? Like even now if it 00:14:11.009 --> 00:14:14.389 comes to it, am I gonna be able to stand there? 00:14:14.809 --> 00:14:19.330 Yeah, you know in a lineup in in die. Yeah, I 00:14:19.330 --> 00:14:21.149 mean I'd like to believe that I have that faith 00:14:21.730 --> 00:14:23.509 my faith is strong enough to understand that 00:14:23.509 --> 00:14:26.669 whatever I go through here is nothing in comparison 00:14:26.669 --> 00:14:29.669 to the glory that I'm gonna be a part of. So 00:14:29.669 --> 00:14:32.590 any suffering I do there, it was gonna be just 00:14:32.590 --> 00:14:41.230 erased up there. But to have, why? Why would 00:14:41.230 --> 00:14:43.370 they have done that and died in the ways that 00:14:43.370 --> 00:14:49.940 they did and been okay to die in that way? You 00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:53.360 know, how can you not believe that's true? Yeah, 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:55.379 I mean like we've already said, you know, this 00:14:55.379 --> 00:15:00.059 is this has been over 30 years Probably closer 00:15:00.059 --> 00:15:04.179 to 40 years since Jesus was crucified. Jesus 00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:08.500 was crucified John the Baptist was beheaded Stephen 00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:12.340 was stoned to death, you know James was beheaded. 00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:16.419 I mean They've seen all of this and he's still 00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:21.850 straight up Preaching it. He's like it's worth 00:15:21.850 --> 00:15:27.870 it. Your suffering is worth it. Yeah. Yeah Because 00:15:27.870 --> 00:15:29.629 they knew a little something about suffering 00:15:29.629 --> 00:15:35.649 mm -hmm He did and you know, I think again, I 00:15:35.649 --> 00:15:38.549 think that's He understands the hens coming. 00:15:38.549 --> 00:15:42.149 So let me just explain it. Let me let me lay 00:15:42.149 --> 00:15:46.990 this out Again, you know, I don't know if he 00:15:46.990 --> 00:15:50.169 was the last one You know to go. I don't know 00:15:50.169 --> 00:15:52.909 if he was I don't know where he is in the succession 00:15:52.909 --> 00:15:54.990 I don't know how that were I know obviously john 00:15:54.990 --> 00:15:58.649 is alas because john died naturally. Yeah, but 00:15:58.649 --> 00:16:04.429 You know He's trying to make sure that the He's 00:16:04.429 --> 00:16:06.870 done all he can to make sure that the church 00:16:06.870 --> 00:16:10.590 continues on after his death Because he knows 00:16:10.590 --> 00:16:13.370 they're coming. He knows persecution is coming 00:16:13.370 --> 00:16:16.370 And it's going to be just as hard and just as 00:16:16.370 --> 00:16:22.379 strong you know So he's trying to make sure that 00:16:22.379 --> 00:16:25.080 you guys get prepared because this is real like 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.919 like Everything the Lord said everything their 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:30.960 prophet said that's real. This isn't just a story 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.379 This isn't just something you learned in school 00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:36.820 anymore. This is We are living in what they talked 00:16:36.820 --> 00:16:45.580 about Yeah And then he just wants to make sure 00:16:45.580 --> 00:16:49.080 everyone knows that the prophecy that they've 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.000 seen come true the prophecies it's yet to become 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.779 true you know all this comes from the holy spirit 00:16:56.779 --> 00:17:03.360 because i think um i think in some peter one 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:08.059 he mentions you know the um the prophets and 00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:11.920 they didn't even understand exactly what was 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:19.329 going to manifest yeah we'll move on to chapter 00:17:19.329 --> 00:17:24.130 two but false prophets also arose among the people 00:17:24.130 --> 00:17:26.970 just as they will be false teachers among you 00:17:26.970 --> 00:17:30.369 who will secretly bring into indestructive hearsay 00:17:30.369 --> 00:17:33.549 even denying that the master who brought them 00:17:33.549 --> 00:17:36.069 bring upon themselves swift destructions and 00:17:36.069 --> 00:17:41.069 many will follow their sensuality and because 00:17:41.069 --> 00:17:45.150 of them the way of truth with blasphemy and in 00:17:45.150 --> 00:17:48.849 their greed they will explore you with false 00:17:48.849 --> 00:17:51.930 words. Their condemnation from long ago is not 00:17:51.930 --> 00:17:53.990 at all, and their destruction is not asleep. 00:17:54.970 --> 00:17:57.609 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, 00:17:57.630 --> 00:18:00.029 but cast them into hell and committed them to 00:18:00.029 --> 00:18:02.549 the chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until 00:18:02.549 --> 00:18:05.190 the judgment, if He did not spare the ancient 00:18:05.190 --> 00:18:08.630 world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, 00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:11.410 with seven others, when He brought a flood upon 00:18:11.410 --> 00:18:15.589 the world of the ungodly. If by turning the cities 00:18:15.589 --> 00:18:17.730 of Sodom and Gomorrah to the ashes he condemned 00:18:17.730 --> 00:18:20.589 them to extinction, making them an example of 00:18:20.589 --> 00:18:23.769 what is going to happen to the ungodly, and if 00:18:23.769 --> 00:18:27.730 he rescued righteous lot, gently distressed by 00:18:27.730 --> 00:18:30.829 the central conduct of the wicked, for as the 00:18:30.829 --> 00:18:33.829 righteous man lived among them, the day after 00:18:33.829 --> 00:18:36.869 day he was tormented by his righteous soul over 00:18:36.869 --> 00:18:40.430 their lawless deeds that he saw and heard. Then 00:18:40.430 --> 00:18:43.940 the Lord Knows who to rescue the godly from the 00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:46.500 trials and to keep the unrighteous under punishment 00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:49.240 into the day of the judgment And especially those 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.839 who indulge and the less of defiling passions 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:55.740 and despise authority Bode and willful they do 00:18:55.740 --> 00:18:58.880 not tremble as they blast of me the glorious 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:01.769 one whereas angels, though greater in might and 00:19:01.769 --> 00:19:04.710 power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment 00:19:04.710 --> 00:19:07.589 against them before the Lord. But these, like 00:19:07.589 --> 00:19:09.970 irrational animals, creatures of instinct born 00:19:09.970 --> 00:19:12.349 to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about 00:19:12.349 --> 00:19:15.369 the matters of which they are ignorant, will 00:19:15.369 --> 00:19:17.869 also be destroyed in their destruction, suffering 00:19:17.869 --> 00:19:21.089 wrong as the wage of their wrongdoing. They count 00:19:21.089 --> 00:19:24.549 in pleasure to reveal in the daytime. They are 00:19:24.549 --> 00:19:27.529 blots and blemishes, Revealing in their deception, 00:19:28.049 --> 00:19:33.230 While they feast with you. They have eyes full 00:19:33.230 --> 00:19:36.369 of adultery, And sedable for sin, They entice 00:19:36.369 --> 00:19:38.950 and steady sows, They have hearts trained in 00:19:38.950 --> 00:19:42.130 greed, And curse children. Forsaking the right 00:19:42.130 --> 00:19:44.769 way, They are going astray. They have followed 00:19:44.769 --> 00:19:49.470 the way of Balam And the son of Beor, Who love 00:19:49.470 --> 00:19:54.950 gain from wrongdoing. but was rebuked for his 00:19:54.950 --> 00:19:57.109 own transgression. A speechless donkey spoke 00:19:57.109 --> 00:20:00.410 in a human voice and restrained the prophet madness. 00:20:01.990 --> 00:20:05.910 These are waterless springs and mist driven by 00:20:05.910 --> 00:20:08.309 a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness 00:20:08.309 --> 00:20:11.049 has been reserved. For speaking loud boasts of 00:20:11.049 --> 00:20:13.890 folly they entice by sensual passion of the flesh 00:20:13.890 --> 00:20:17.329 those who are barely escaping from those who 00:20:17.329 --> 00:20:20.819 live in error. They promise them freedom if they 00:20:20.819 --> 00:20:23.740 themselves are slaves of corruption for whatever 00:20:23.740 --> 00:20:28.019 overcomes a person to that he is enslaved for 00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:33.460 it after they have escaped the defilement. In 00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:35.420 the world through the knowledge of our Lord and 00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:39.460 Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled 00:20:39.460 --> 00:20:43.200 in them and overcome. The last state has become 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.440 worse for them than the first. For it would have 00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:49.660 been better for them to have known the way of 00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:52.559 righteousness than after knowing it turned back 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:54.960 from the holy commandments delivered to them. 00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:58.160 What the true Proverbs say has happened to them. 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:01.160 The dog returns to his own vomit and the sow 00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:03.619 after washing herself returns to wallow in the 00:21:03.619 --> 00:21:15.119 myrrh. I find it interesting that They still 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:18.099 had that they had to worry about false teachers 00:21:18.099 --> 00:21:21.599 being that close to when Christ was actually 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.700 on. Yeah, that quick. And you know, all of a 00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:27.200 sudden you have people saying, no, no, no, no, 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.880 no, that's not really what he meant. This is 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:32.039 what it is. And I'm like, I understand now we've 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:34.460 had a couple thousand years in between us and 00:21:34.460 --> 00:21:38.819 them. Right. But I also think it is people trying 00:21:38.819 --> 00:21:41.940 to show that they were either closer to him. 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:44.339 or that they still knew more than him because 00:21:44.339 --> 00:21:49.160 maybe he wasn't truly that prophet or that well 00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:50.740 he didn't talk to you about this and it says 00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:53.480 this and there and here and then I don't know 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:57.920 it's kind of like today some people saying well 00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.339 that's great that you believe that that translation 00:22:00.339 --> 00:22:03.920 but this is the only right translation that matters 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.880 well no like that's why I like reading different 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:09.700 translations of the Bible it's not because any 00:22:09.700 --> 00:22:12.430 of them are actually a hundred percent accurate 00:22:12.430 --> 00:22:15.490 it's because the more studying I do the closer 00:22:15.490 --> 00:22:17.849 I feel I do get to understanding what he's trying 00:22:17.849 --> 00:22:21.390 to show me because submit versus subject versus 00:22:21.390 --> 00:22:24.589 this you know like whatever that word is um every 00:22:24.589 --> 00:22:28.210 different version of it helps me to go oh I didn't 00:22:28.210 --> 00:22:30.490 think about it that way or oh I should have thought 00:22:30.490 --> 00:22:33.670 about it that way or whatever so I think that's 00:22:33.670 --> 00:22:37.200 what Teachers are going to live forever until 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.599 we're in heaven And I think it's also the devil's 00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:43.619 way of trying to destroy the church. Yes. Yeah 00:22:43.619 --> 00:22:46.859 set up those faults Yeah false teachers false 00:22:46.859 --> 00:22:52.640 prophets and and try to Pull people from the 00:22:52.640 --> 00:23:06.509 truth.

I know I made mistakes when 00:24:53.940 --> 00:24:56.960 I tried to speak about something before but did 00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:58.599 you just say that like you have this moment of 00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:02.579 like don't I don't think you understand What 00:25:02.579 --> 00:25:05.539 you're saying or how it's coming off as well. 00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:08.880 It's it's also that delivery moment like again 00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:11.690 Jesus was like, hey, did you know or and like 00:25:11.690 --> 00:25:15.109 he was he was forceful a few times yes he had 00:25:15.109 --> 00:25:17.309 flipping tables a little bit of that stuff right 00:25:17.309 --> 00:25:20.730 but for the most part he sat and had a conversation 00:25:20.730 --> 00:25:26.289 with you because it's what was gonna stick the 00:25:26.289 --> 00:25:28.369 yelling at me or the telling me that i'm this 00:25:28.369 --> 00:25:31.829 crazy sinful being yes you're not lying but when 00:25:31.829 --> 00:25:36.289 you yell at me i'm not not as apt to listen and 00:25:36.289 --> 00:25:40.470 then apply what you're saying to me yeah exactly 00:25:43.149 --> 00:25:46.289 So I just think that's also part of what all 00:25:46.289 --> 00:25:48.250 this is, because all those false prophets are 00:25:48.250 --> 00:25:51.250 just yelling. They're just saying, you're listening 00:25:51.250 --> 00:25:57.660 to us. We know more than him. Yeah. I almost 00:25:57.660 --> 00:26:00.220 want to say maybe they're false teachers, too. 00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:02.039 We're a little more like our prosperity gospel 00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:05.660 preachers here now, the ones that are like, oh, 00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:08.559 you don't really need to do that. Or if you follow 00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:10.539 Christ, you're going to have all of this, this, 00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:12.119 and this. But first, you've got to give a little 00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:16.059 bit of this. And he doesn't want you to suffer. 00:26:16.380 --> 00:26:19.900 He wants you to live your life and live your 00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:23.819 best life. Live your best life. And he does, 00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:26.380 but he wants you to live your best life. Him. 00:26:26.819 --> 00:26:28.759 Yeah. You know, but again, that doesn't mean 00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:32.380 you're not going to suffer again. I said it before 00:26:32.380 --> 00:26:35.839 and we'll say it again. You know, Mary did not 00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:40.460 have a life full of, you know, sunshine and rainbows. 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.779 Yeah. I mean, God called her as a 13, 14 year 00:26:44.779 --> 00:26:48.420 old girl to be the mother of Christ. Yeah. You 00:26:48.420 --> 00:26:53.039 know, not any pressure, anything unmarried, unmarried 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:57.369 in her. town of where you know her little itty 00:26:57.369 --> 00:27:01.029 bitty there she had issues we didn't get she 00:27:01.029 --> 00:27:04.329 didn't have issues that's the wrong but she she 00:27:04.329 --> 00:27:07.369 was put in a situation which could have gotten 00:27:07.369 --> 00:27:10.930 her stoned yeah you know yeah but she trusted 00:27:10.930 --> 00:27:17.170 yeah you know and just because you trust in God 00:27:17.170 --> 00:27:20.809 does not mean that you're gonna be free yeah 00:27:21.710 --> 00:27:24.230 trials and suffering. And again, like we talked 00:27:24.230 --> 00:27:26.869 about in, you know, in the in the episodes with 00:27:26.869 --> 00:27:32.430 with First Peter, it's it's you have to be joyous 00:27:32.430 --> 00:27:34.869 because you're suffering on his behalf. Yeah. 00:27:34.930 --> 00:27:36.710 People are recognizing the fact that you are 00:27:36.710 --> 00:27:42.390 speaking truth and they want to put a bushel 00:27:42.390 --> 00:27:44.150 over your light. Right. Yeah. Let's go back to 00:27:44.150 --> 00:27:51.200 the old Sunday school song under a bushel. And 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:54.779 you know, it's like you're saying, you know, 00:27:54.779 --> 00:27:58.940 he mentions, and not just Peter, you know, Paul, 00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:04.759 he tells you to endure the long race. You know, 00:28:06.259 --> 00:28:10.359 when you come to Christ, it's not all, you know, 00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:14.099 rainbows and sunshines. It's suffering, you know, 00:28:14.099 --> 00:28:17.539 and it's being set apart. It's being hated by 00:28:17.539 --> 00:28:22.259 the world, but... It's not being hated because 00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:26.299 how you respond to something is being hated because 00:28:26.299 --> 00:28:31.900 They see Christ in you You know, that's another 00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:34.420 thing that Doug will always talk that he has 00:28:34.420 --> 00:28:36.299 mentioned at least I say always like he says 00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:39.140 this every Sunday But he doesn't but he's mentioned 00:28:39.140 --> 00:28:42.259 it a few times in the last five years of us going 00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:45.190 to the church and he's He said, I love seeing 00:28:45.190 --> 00:28:48.450 people on fire for God, but it scares me because 00:28:48.450 --> 00:28:51.369 I know the minute they're on fire for God, that 00:28:51.369 --> 00:28:54.190 they're coming. An attack is coming. Yeah. He 00:28:54.190 --> 00:28:56.750 goes, I know that it's going to happen and they're 00:28:56.750 --> 00:28:59.869 going to get so much pushback. And he just prays 00:28:59.869 --> 00:29:03.690 that that fire doesn't get put out. It doesn't 00:29:03.690 --> 00:29:08.670 go out. Yeah. Yeah. And again, sometimes our 00:29:08.670 --> 00:29:12.490 biggest testimony is when we're in. those trials 00:29:12.490 --> 00:29:15.049 when they're in that suffering and just like 00:29:15.049 --> 00:29:18.549 you know you had mentioned you know when we were 00:29:18.549 --> 00:29:22.569 in first peter about the guy that you heard in 00:29:22.569 --> 00:29:25.109 you know in madera beach talk about yes okay 00:29:25.109 --> 00:29:27.190 this all happened to me but i still have this 00:29:27.190 --> 00:29:30.109 and i still have that and we're you know we're 00:29:30.109 --> 00:29:33.569 still this and you know and that's that's the 00:29:33.569 --> 00:29:36.490 epitome of what we're supposed to do makes me 00:29:36.490 --> 00:29:39.190 thinking about him too it is well with my soul 00:29:39.190 --> 00:29:43.740 that's my favorite yeah you know he was he the 00:29:43.740 --> 00:29:46.579 i can't tell you the guy who wrote his name but 00:29:46.579 --> 00:29:49.500 he wrote it because he had just been through 00:29:49.500 --> 00:29:55.019 a horrible tragedy he lost his wife and son i 00:29:55.019 --> 00:29:57.299 think all right well his wife was the only one 00:29:57.299 --> 00:29:59.740 who survived it was like so many daughters three 00:29:59.740 --> 00:30:03.819 or four daughters yeah and but he could still 00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:08.410 say it is well with my soul There was a, do you 00:30:08.410 --> 00:30:10.630 remember the, uh, uh, Christ the King in Largo, 00:30:10.769 --> 00:30:12.970 there was the, this lady who sat in the back, 00:30:13.170 --> 00:30:15.230 her name was Adele and she told everyone to call 00:30:15.230 --> 00:30:16.849 her the old goat. I don't remember if you remember 00:30:16.849 --> 00:30:18.970 her from that church. I probably know her face, 00:30:19.089 --> 00:30:21.170 but you would, but anyway, so she sat in the 00:30:21.170 --> 00:30:22.589 back. She had her own chair. She didn't sit in 00:30:22.589 --> 00:30:24.849 a pew. She sat in a comfy chair in the back in 00:30:24.849 --> 00:30:26.869 the middle. But every time you walked up here 00:30:26.869 --> 00:30:29.029 and you say, how are you today, Adele? She would 00:30:29.029 --> 00:30:32.690 go, it is well with my soul. It didn't matter 00:30:32.690 --> 00:30:34.349 if she goes, doesn't matter if I'm in pain or 00:30:34.349 --> 00:30:38.220 if I'm good. It's well with my soul. And she 00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:40.180 just had the most amazing perspective in the 00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:41.619 midst of all the things she was going through, 00:30:41.700 --> 00:30:43.039 because she had a lot of physical stuff and all 00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:44.619 that kind of stuff, because she was older. But 00:30:44.619 --> 00:30:46.619 it was awesome to ask her that question every 00:30:46.619 --> 00:30:49.480 Sunday and be reminded, all that matters is it 00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:53.180 is well with my soul. Well, now I have a new 00:30:53.180 --> 00:30:59.740 goal. Yeah, right? I know, I know. It's awesome. 00:31:02.299 --> 00:31:03.880 Oh, it is well. Now I'm going to sing that song. 00:31:04.059 --> 00:31:10.160 It is what we say with my soul. OK, that's that's. 00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:12.819 That is probably one of my favorite old hymns 00:31:12.819 --> 00:31:15.700 right there, like that's the one I can I'll sing 00:31:15.700 --> 00:31:19.359 all the time. You know, I would say it probably 00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:23.720 really wasn't my favorite until I heard the story 00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:31.559 behind it. Well, it talks about and it's. The 00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:33.259 one that really that when I really started loving 00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:35.920 the song and this probably isn't fair, but it 00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:40.480 it's Audrey aside when she sings it but I listened 00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:44.500 she's got such a beautiful voice and I She sings 00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:49.000 it and it hit me the verse that states, you know 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:54.750 He you know, he took my sin not in part But the 00:31:54.750 --> 00:31:57.410 whole. Yeah. But in whole, yeah. And it was nailed 00:31:57.410 --> 00:32:00.789 to the cross and I know it no more. And I was 00:32:00.789 --> 00:32:06.670 like, that verse, every time I sing it, I have 00:32:06.670 --> 00:32:10.930 to compose myself. Yep. Like if I'm on stage 00:32:10.930 --> 00:32:14.059 and Travis makes me sing that part. I'm always 00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:16.460 like, OK, God, because I can get through it if 00:32:16.460 --> 00:32:20.200 I'm singing it myself. Because sometimes he'll 00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.079 break it up like, OK, I'll have somebody sing 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:23.720 this first, and somebody else sings this first, 00:32:23.740 --> 00:32:25.460 and somebody else sings this first. Or sometimes 00:32:25.460 --> 00:32:27.819 it's I'm just the lead on the whole song, and 00:32:27.819 --> 00:32:29.559 everybody's singing with me in spots. And I'm 00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:32.200 like, depending on how you do it, that's one 00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:36.480 of the ones that I have to breathe in and out. 00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:40.339 And that one in the gratitude song has been getting 00:32:40.339 --> 00:32:42.940 me lately. I don't got nothing. I don't have 00:32:42.940 --> 00:32:46.500 anything, but what I have is gratitude for who 00:32:46.500 --> 00:32:49.160 you are and what you've done. Yeah. And even 00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:50.839 Steve's like, I used to not really like that 00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:53.220 song. He goes, but then it hit me. That's what 00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:56.380 they're saying. I'm the same way. I do not really 00:32:56.380 --> 00:33:00.460 like that song, but it really... I've loved that 00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:02.019 song from the beginning, but I think it's because 00:33:02.019 --> 00:33:05.440 I just... Well, it's words. I look at... I tend 00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:07.579 to look at words after I hear a song the first 00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:09.859 time because I'll go, oh, that's okay. Then I 00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:12.509 listen to the words and I go, okay. Yep. Now 00:33:12.509 --> 00:33:14.950 I have to like the song. Yep. I have to like 00:33:14.950 --> 00:33:16.750 the song. Well, I think that's my problem is 00:33:16.750 --> 00:33:20.170 because I'm a little, I hear the beat more than 00:33:20.170 --> 00:33:23.750 I hear the words. And so then it takes a little, 00:33:24.029 --> 00:33:28.990 maybe a few singing to drill into my brain. That's 00:33:28.990 --> 00:33:33.990 legit. There's a version of it as well by Anthony 00:33:33.990 --> 00:33:39.049 Evans. He is Priscilla Shire's brother. And he's 00:33:39.049 --> 00:33:41.769 I follow him on Instagram. But anyway, He sings 00:33:41.769 --> 00:33:44.250 like there's a couple blips on his Instagram 00:33:44.250 --> 00:33:47.849 and I watched a YouTube video singing it as well. 00:33:49.670 --> 00:33:54.890 Good night, tears. It's just so powerful the 00:33:54.890 --> 00:33:57.309 way he pauses and takes those moments to really 00:33:57.309 --> 00:34:04.269 let those words sink in. So, yeah. Beauty, beauty, 00:34:04.269 --> 00:34:11.539 beauty, beauty. It's the one that also so And 00:34:11.539 --> 00:34:13.780 the Latin, so I know we're off topic a little 00:34:13.780 --> 00:34:18.139 bit, but that's what we do. It is what we do. 00:34:18.940 --> 00:34:23.480 So again, it's a real conversation. It's the 00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:27.239 great I am song like that one. And it seems like 00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:29.059 this just sounds like every worship song. I'm 00:34:29.059 --> 00:34:32.880 like, I'm like it is. But can you imagine, you 00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:35.260 know, and like you're talking about the angels 00:34:35.260 --> 00:34:37.500 are singing and you're up there and you're like, 00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:41.670 you know, I.

Right. And she was she led those women 00:37:33.090 --> 00:37:37.030 in song and dance. And I get it. You know, because 00:37:37.030 --> 00:37:41.739 there's so much. There's there's power in music 00:37:41.739 --> 00:37:44.500 you can start to relate to it numbs not I mean, 00:37:44.500 --> 00:37:46.599 it's not every day there's days I don't like 00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:48.719 I don't you know, it's it's there are days It's 00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:50.280 not hitting you you hear the yeah, you know, 00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:51.679 it's just in the background. You hear you've 00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:53.079 heard these songs a million times You're like, 00:37:53.179 --> 00:37:56.179 yep, whatever Yeah, then you have this where 00:37:56.179 --> 00:37:59.099 it's like who Lord I needed that. Yeah. Yeah, 00:37:59.179 --> 00:38:01.099 I heard it I heard it, you know, you're sitting 00:38:01.099 --> 00:38:02.500 there with background music and all of a sudden 00:38:02.500 --> 00:38:05.780 you get that tap on your shoulder Listen to this 00:38:09.099 --> 00:38:11.480 And I would have to say, too, like some of my 00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:14.320 favorite verses in the Bible is talking about 00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:21.000 nature, worshipping God. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. 00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:30.139 Even the rocks cry out. Yeah. Something I think 00:38:30.139 --> 00:38:34.139 I feel like I know and it's it's the old age 00:38:34.139 --> 00:38:39.980 in me speaking a little bit as we. Some of this 00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:43.260 new Christian music isn't Christian music Like 00:38:43.260 --> 00:38:45.659 it is right. It's good music, you know, it's 00:38:45.659 --> 00:38:47.159 something I don't mind having my kids listen 00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:49.539 to Yeah, you know and I'm glad that that's what 00:38:49.539 --> 00:38:51.360 they're listening to and compared to other things 00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:54.139 It's very clean and they do some of them talk 00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:56.860 about God is good all these things and I guess 00:38:56.860 --> 00:38:58.639 listen to this This is awesome. But again, I 00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:00.320 feel like I'm showing my age here cuz I'm like 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:03.260 you're not singing this in church Yeah, y 'all 00:39:03.260 --> 00:39:05.559 are gonna end up in a church where you're singing 00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:09.519 some of these songs. So I think we're blessed 00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:11.159 to be able to be in a church that kind of mixes 00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:13.179 a lot of the old hymns with some of the new stuff, 00:39:13.179 --> 00:39:15.880 because we're mainly kind of almost an acoustic 00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:19.179 church. You know, we don't have a lot. Yeah. 00:39:19.860 --> 00:39:21.900 And I think there's something to be said for 00:39:21.900 --> 00:39:23.239 that. But there's also something to be said to 00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:28.320 go to a woman's, you know, weekend retreat and 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:31.159 having a full on band up there with a little 00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:33.539 bit of worship, like having a little bit of mega 00:39:33.539 --> 00:39:40.239 church worship music. Yeah. Yeah. I like that 00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:42.000 it's so every Sunday, because obviously I'm the 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:45.239 worship director at my church. I get the very 00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:48.039 traditional service at 8 15 in the morning. And 00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:49.940 I then have the 11 o 'clock service, which is 00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:52.519 the contemporary service. So I really am blessed 00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:54.639 week in week out to have the best of both worlds, 00:39:54.659 --> 00:39:57.679 in my opinion, where I get to praise him in so 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:01.420 many different ways each week. So when people 00:40:01.420 --> 00:40:02.960 say, Leslie, which one is your favorite service? 00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:06.000 I'm like, both. Like, that's the cop out answer. 00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:09.860 I'm like, no. it's the truth because both both 00:40:09.860 --> 00:40:11.960 serve a different purpose and sometimes one week 00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:14.119 yeah I might the traditional might speak a little 00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:16.199 bit more to me the music that that I picked or 00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:18.460 that this happened or that that thing or whatever 00:40:18.460 --> 00:40:21.619 but gosh it's just a blessing to praise him in 00:40:21.619 --> 00:40:24.579 lots of different ways you know my grandma always 00:40:24.579 --> 00:40:32.099 said that that it's the old worship hymns the 00:40:32.099 --> 00:40:36.940 old hymns have so much scripture in them That 00:40:36.940 --> 00:40:38.820 we don't have now. So I always feel like now 00:40:38.820 --> 00:40:40.920 I feel like probably my grandma like those those 00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:44.340 new church those new songs. Oh, all right, but 00:40:44.340 --> 00:40:46.440 Again, I listen to them do not get me wrong. 00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:48.059 I listen to them and I'll have them on the car 00:40:48.059 --> 00:40:51.639 and I'm jamming but they're not that put me in 00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:56.420 a place of reverence with the Lord songs they're 00:40:56.420 --> 00:40:58.480 Good feel good. Like let's get the word of God 00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:01.980 out songs. No, they have their place Yeah, they 00:41:01.980 --> 00:41:05.340 have their place and you know, but Steve always 00:41:05.340 --> 00:41:07.599 says, I hate that people capitalize on old hymns. 00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:10.360 You shouldn't get paid for redoing somebody else's 00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:14.059 hymns. And I'm like, yes and no. But if it gets 00:41:14.059 --> 00:41:17.179 people hearing it, it gets people hearing it. 00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:20.719 You're still bringing out the scripture. You're 00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:25.099 still bringing it. You're bringing the teachings 00:41:25.099 --> 00:41:29.260 of old back out. Because some of the Christian 00:41:29.260 --> 00:41:34.300 music today doesn't go. biblically sound yeah 00:41:34.300 --> 00:41:37.179 even some of the worship music that's coined 00:41:37.179 --> 00:41:40.920 worship music isn't biblically sound so i don't 00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:44.920 have as much of an issue with bringing back old 00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:47.659 hymns yeah and that's what i really like about 00:41:47.659 --> 00:41:50.800 travis too is he really looks at the songs he 00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:55.539 chooses to to make it sure it does have it is 00:41:55.539 --> 00:41:59.239 biblically sound and sometimes he will say But 00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:00.920 we're going to do this song, but I've really 00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:13.179 looked at. All right. Should we go to the. The 00:42:13.179 --> 00:42:16.760 finale of the second year. Yep. Awesome. All 00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:21.320 right. So second Peter three says, this is my 00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:23.300 second letter to you, dear friends. And in both 00:42:23.300 --> 00:42:25.360 of them, I have tried to stimulate your wholesome 00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:27.880 thinking and refresh your memory. I really liked 00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:31.119 that. Anyway, sorry. I want you to remember what 00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.699 the Holy Prophet said long ago and what our Lord 00:42:33.699 --> 00:42:36.940 and Savior commanded through your apostles. Most 00:42:36.940 --> 00:42:38.960 importantly, I want to remind you that in these 00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:42.000 last days, scoffers will come mocking the truth 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.840 and following their own desires. They will say 00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:47.039 what happened to the promise that Jesus is coming 00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:50.059 again from before the time of our ancestors. 00:42:50.219 --> 00:42:52.519 Everything has remained the same since the world 00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:55.820 was first created. They deliberately forget that 00:42:55.820 --> 00:42:58.579 God made the heavens long ago. by the word of 00:42:58.579 --> 00:43:01.599 his command and he brought the earth out from 00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:04.780 the water and surrounded it with water then he 00:43:04.780 --> 00:43:06.960 used the water to destroy the ancient world with 00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:09.480 a mighty flood and by the same word the present 00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:12.840 heavens and earth have been stored up for fire 00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:15.780 they they are being kept for the day of judgment 00:43:15.780 --> 00:43:19.300 when ungodly people will be destroyed but you 00:43:19.300 --> 00:43:22.219 must not forget this one thing dear friends a 00:43:22.219 --> 00:43:24.719 day is like a thousand years to the lord and 00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:27.909 a thousand years is like a day The Lord isn't 00:43:27.909 --> 00:43:30.269 really being slow about his promise, as some 00:43:30.269 --> 00:43:33.710 people think. No, he is being patient for your 00:43:33.710 --> 00:43:36.610 sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, 00:43:36.889 --> 00:43:39.750 but wants everyone to repent. But the day the 00:43:39.750 --> 00:43:42.849 Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief, then 00:43:42.849 --> 00:43:45.349 the heavens will pass away with terrible noise, 00:43:45.630 --> 00:43:47.570 and the very elements themselves will disappear 00:43:47.570 --> 00:43:50.190 in fire, and the earth and everything on it will 00:43:50.190 --> 00:43:54.199 be found to deserve judgment. Since everything 00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:56.539 around us is going to be destroyed like this, 00:43:56.619 --> 00:44:00.199 what holy and godly lives you should live. Looking 00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:03.340 forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. 00:44:04.099 --> 00:44:06.239 On that day, he will set the heavens on fire 00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:09.139 and the elements will melt away in the flames. 00:44:09.820 --> 00:44:12.019 But we are looking forward to the new heavens 00:44:12.019 --> 00:44:15.000 and the new earth he has promised, a world filled 00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:18.559 with God's righteousness. And so dear friends, 00:44:19.019 --> 00:44:20.780 while you are waiting for these things to happen, 00:44:21.050 --> 00:44:23.670 Make every effort to be found living peaceful 00:44:23.670 --> 00:44:26.530 lives that are pure and blameless in his sight. 00:44:27.349 --> 00:44:29.550 And remember our Lord's patience gives people 00:44:29.550 --> 00:44:32.730 time to be saved. This is what our beloved brother 00:44:32.730 --> 00:44:36.190 Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom God gave 00:44:36.190 --> 00:44:39.429 him, speaking of these things in all of his letters. 00:44:40.150 --> 00:44:42.150 Some of his comments are hard to understand and 00:44:42.150 --> 00:44:44.809 those who are ignorant and unstable have twisted 00:44:44.809 --> 00:44:46.750 his letters to mean something quite different, 00:44:47.150 --> 00:44:49.070 just as they do with other parts of scripture. 00:44:49.449 --> 00:44:53.889 and this will end in their destruction. You already 00:44:53.889 --> 00:44:56.550 know these things, dear friends, so be on guard. 00:44:56.849 --> 00:44:58.469 Then you will not be carried away by the heirs 00:44:58.469 --> 00:45:01.750 of these wicked people and lose your own secure 00:45:01.750 --> 00:45:04.369 footing.

Could you come now? Yeah. 00:47:27.539 --> 00:47:31.179 Like a thousand days is like a day is like a 00:47:31.179 --> 00:47:34.280 thousand years to the Lord. Right. And what is 00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:36.119 that better is one day in your courts than thousand 00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:38.159 elsewhere. I mean, that's a great praise and 00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:41.199 worship song because you keep going. Okay, how 00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:42.739 bad does it have to get again? And of course, 00:47:42.739 --> 00:47:44.760 we're not nearly as bad as the flood when it 00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:47.579 was the flood or or or things like that, even 00:47:47.579 --> 00:47:49.500 though it feels like that to us because we've 00:47:49.500 --> 00:47:52.000 not had that experience other times. Right. But 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:57.179 it's that moment of patience that God's got this 00:47:57.179 --> 00:47:59.599 plan. Just be patient and keep telling people 00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:02.219 about them because he wants to keep doing the 00:48:02.219 --> 00:48:06.300 work. Everybody. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I appreciate 00:48:06.300 --> 00:48:12.199 the way it was put in here is like Oh, where 00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:16.659 is it? I just lost it. Wait. And so dear friends, 00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:18.239 while you are waiting for these things to happen, 00:48:18.380 --> 00:48:19.800 make every effort to be found living peaceful 00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:21.420 lives that are pure and blameless on a site. 00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:25.059 And remember, our Lord's patience gives people 00:48:25.059 --> 00:48:29.679 time to be saved. That's such a great reminder 00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:38.849 to us. Especially me when I get impatient. It's 00:48:38.849 --> 00:48:41.130 against what I love about Peter There's not much 00:48:41.130 --> 00:48:43.389 to say because he said it and he said it in a 00:48:43.389 --> 00:48:46.269 way that you don't have to decipher it This isn't 00:48:46.269 --> 00:48:48.469 well, you know, this could mean this or this 00:48:48.469 --> 00:48:51.190 could mean that Peter he laid it out. This is 00:48:51.190 --> 00:49:00.610 what this means you know It's It's not hard to 00:49:00.610 --> 00:49:02.469 understand you're not reading Isaiah. It's not 00:49:02.469 --> 00:49:05.030 like you're reading Jeremiah. It's not like You 00:49:05.030 --> 00:49:10.389 don't have a lot of question here. He's like, 00:49:10.389 --> 00:49:12.110 this is what we're going to do. And there's going 00:49:12.110 --> 00:49:13.610 to be this. There's going to be trials. There's 00:49:13.610 --> 00:49:16.469 going to be false teachers. And you know what? 00:49:16.710 --> 00:49:18.630 Let's talk about, let's just remember that this 00:49:18.630 --> 00:49:21.289 really happened. Jesus is who he says he is. 00:49:21.369 --> 00:49:23.449 He did what the things that he said he was going 00:49:23.449 --> 00:49:35.460 to do. I was there. I saw it. Don't forget. That's 00:49:35.460 --> 00:49:37.639 why I like the... I'm not trying to wrap this 00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:39.480 up. I'm trying to say I love that finale verse. 00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:42.019 Brother, you must grow in grace and knowledge 00:49:42.019 --> 00:49:45.239 of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You have 00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:49.159 to keep growing. You have to keep seeking and 00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:51.099 growing. Because it's the only way you're going 00:49:51.099 --> 00:49:52.599 to make it through all this stuff. And it's the 00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:53.880 only way that I'm going to make it through what 00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:56.400 I got to go through now. Because He knew it was 00:49:56.400 --> 00:50:05.590 coming. Yeah. Originally, there is not much, 00:50:05.650 --> 00:50:07.329 like you said just a few minutes ago, there is 00:50:07.329 --> 00:50:10.190 not much else to add. Because especially in this 00:50:10.190 --> 00:50:15.170 final chapter, he spells it out. Yes, it feels 00:50:15.170 --> 00:50:17.289 like we're waiting a long time. Yes, you're going 00:50:17.289 --> 00:50:19.250 to get people yelling at you and telling you 00:50:19.250 --> 00:50:20.690 that you don't believe in the story. They don't 00:50:20.690 --> 00:50:23.710 believe in the story anymore. Stay steadfast. 00:50:23.949 --> 00:50:35.179 Stay steadfast. Throw in your knowledge. It's 00:50:35.179 --> 00:50:37.900 the same that we've read before you know just 00:50:37.900 --> 00:50:42.280 And I can't remember where it was You know where 00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:44.760 it says you know you need to look it up you need 00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:48.500 to Do it for yourself like if you if this is 00:50:48.500 --> 00:50:51.619 what? You're being told just make sure like just 00:50:51.619 --> 00:50:56.079 to kind of back it. Yeah, this is This is you 00:50:56.079 --> 00:50:59.179 know They're gonna be twisting these letters. 00:50:59.179 --> 00:51:01.320 They're gonna twist my words. They're gonna twist 00:51:01.320 --> 00:51:03.380 their words, but you know, and they're going 00:51:03.380 --> 00:51:05.579 to look at other parts of scripture and that'll 00:51:05.579 --> 00:51:08.280 be their destruction. But that's, you know, you 00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:10.139 need to grow in your faith because then you'll 00:51:10.139 --> 00:51:13.260 understand what's being told to you is false 00:51:13.260 --> 00:51:15.079 and what's being told to you is true. You need 00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:16.679 to be able to have that discernment and you're 00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:18.900 not going to have it if you're not in it. Yeah. 00:51:19.219 --> 00:51:20.920 You know, if you're not paying attention, if 00:51:20.920 --> 00:51:26.340 you're not, you know, studying it. And I think 00:51:26.340 --> 00:51:28.639 that's what his point coming his point across 00:51:28.639 --> 00:51:30.920 this is you guys need to do this because you 00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:33.530 need to be aware that there are faults teachers 00:51:33.530 --> 00:51:36.110 out here that have no bones about making sure 00:51:36.110 --> 00:51:38.489 that you guys go to hell instead of going where 00:51:38.489 --> 00:51:49.829 i'm going yeah i'm liking peter more and more 00:51:49.829 --> 00:51:56.269 that's about all she wrote i don't feel like 00:51:56.269 --> 00:52:00.909 we can add anything to i don't feel like Second 00:52:00.909 --> 00:52:07.690 Peter is just a strong bring it home I have to 00:52:07.690 --> 00:52:12.329 tell you this To clear my own mind to make sure 00:52:12.329 --> 00:52:14.889 that you guys keep it up Because I'm not gonna 00:52:14.889 --> 00:52:18.090 be around to be able to show you the way so I 00:52:18.090 --> 00:52:20.389 need I need it written down I need to make sure 00:52:20.389 --> 00:52:28.710 that this letter gets around right Yeah, you 00:52:28.710 --> 00:52:31.070 know and knowing again that right, you know shortly 00:52:31.070 --> 00:52:33.269 after here he that's when he was crucified and 00:52:33.269 --> 00:52:39.050 you know Watched his wife Get crucified, you 00:52:39.050 --> 00:52:41.889 know that knowing that suffering and then Paul 00:52:41.889 --> 00:52:44.150 shortly thereafter or right before I don't know 00:52:44.150 --> 00:52:45.949 again I don't know succession, but I know it 00:52:45.949 --> 00:52:47.329 was right around the same time if it wasn't even 00:52:47.329 --> 00:52:52.989 the same day, you know Also be crucified so you 00:52:52.989 --> 00:52:57.380 you've just lost to Heads of the church and I 00:52:57.380 --> 00:53:00.119 think he knew he knew like okay He's gonna be 00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:02.880 gone and that's gonna hurt the movement and then 00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:05.380 Paul too.

And this is, again, another book 00:53:43.739 --> 00:53:48.980 of the Bible that I read a few times, right? 00:53:48.980 --> 00:53:53.219 And all of a sudden, it's like, whew. And just 00:53:53.219 --> 00:53:56.039 to have that. Everything he's written I would 00:53:56.039 --> 00:53:57.719 feel like I highlighted it like I highlighted 00:53:57.719 --> 00:54:00.440 James and like I highlighted Titus and like I 00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:06.119 highlighted Jude, you know and It they mean that'll 00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:09.320 preach, you know Peter First and second Peter 00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:12.639 that'll preach all of it. You know, there's and 00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:16.059 it just makes me Love him more. Like he's on 00:54:16.059 --> 00:54:17.840 my list. Like I want to talk to him before I 00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:21.530 talk to Paul I might want to talk to you. I want 00:54:21.530 --> 00:54:23.670 to have a conversation. I also want to have a 00:54:23.670 --> 00:54:25.309 conversation with Peter's wife. Like, hey, I 00:54:25.309 --> 00:54:29.349 want to have a conversation with you. And obviously, 00:54:29.630 --> 00:54:31.889 there's lots of women in the Bible that I want 00:54:31.889 --> 00:54:33.469 to have a conversation with when I get up there. 00:54:33.489 --> 00:54:35.110 But Peter's on that list. He's probably one of 00:54:35.110 --> 00:54:36.829 the first men I want to talk to you. Maybe James, 00:54:36.949 --> 00:54:40.789 too, because he is my boy. James and Peter. Yeah. 00:54:40.909 --> 00:54:42.570 Let's just get a group. Let's have a group chat. 00:54:43.610 --> 00:54:49.440 I can't choose. I can't choose. It's one of the 00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:52.699 ones that just really And I think I say this 00:54:52.699 --> 00:54:55.079 every time you know like every book of the Bible 00:54:55.079 --> 00:54:57.719 that we look into everything I find something 00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:01.719 that I love And I'm so glad that you know we 00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:03.920 were doing this and I know that we're on the 00:55:03.920 --> 00:55:05.480 right path and we're doing what we're supposed 00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:09.539 to be doing because Stuff wouldn't there's no 00:55:09.539 --> 00:55:12.400 reason stuff is speaking to me in the way that 00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:14.880 it is that isn't just directly from God So at 00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:18.409 least I know that that there's that Yeah, hopefully 00:55:18.409 --> 00:55:27.750 we all feel the same So I'm grateful and grateful 00:55:27.750 --> 00:55:29.989 that we are all on this journey together and 00:55:29.989 --> 00:55:32.670 that we get to sit around here and talk about 00:55:32.670 --> 00:55:34.869 God and dig into the Bible and just talk about 00:55:34.869 --> 00:55:37.909 our Experiences and go off on our tangents about 00:55:37.909 --> 00:55:43.650 hymns You know But again, I also think that's 00:55:43.650 --> 00:55:49.199 because We can't add to what Peter said. He laid 00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:51.340 it out about false teachers. So he laid it out 00:55:51.340 --> 00:55:55.920 about what we need to do. And so our, you know, 00:55:55.980 --> 00:55:59.920 if we're gonna do the Great Commission, now our 00:55:59.920 --> 00:56:04.239 job is to go and tell. That's what we're doing. 00:56:05.579 --> 00:56:10.820 Agreed. Yep. So on that note, we will see everybody 00:56:10.820 --> 00:56:25.050 next time.
