Here is my journal from my read through 2 Peter from the Message Bible.
Chapter 1
- Greatest invitation I have ever received is the night my pastor Cort Flint invited me to give my life to Christ.
- The Bible's promises are my tickets to participate fully in the life God has designed for me.
- God expects every believer to grow to full maturity in Christ.
- Will the people of CBC be fully equipped to keep moving forward after I retire/die?
Chapter 2
- If you're a church leader earnestly seeking to follow the will of God in your life and in His church, there will always be those who are out to "get you."
- God is the one who will bring antagonists to His judgment seat. Let Him do His work His way without trying to be the judge yourself.
- Just because antagonists are "loudmouths, full of hot air" doesn't mean they aren't dangerous. They are.
Chapter 3
- God is delaying His final judgment and Christ's return in order to give more people the opportunities to repent. He doesn't want any lost. Nor should we.
- To establish the new heaven and earth at the end of time, God must get rid of the old.
- Live as if Jesus is coming back today. In other words, live holy lives.
- Two things I need to grow in: grace and understanding Jesus Christ.
