Warning: Danger Ahead!
– Dr. David Jeremiah
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9

2 Peter 3:8-14 |
Unless a
person lives on a mountaintop in the wilderness, it's hard not to be confronted
with the turmoil in our world. It's not just greater awareness -- it is the
fact that new developments in nuclear technology, disease, political unrest,
natural disasters, and poverty make unrest a personal matter.
So how
should the Christian respond? Urgency in world affairs should produce an
urgency in spiritual affairs -- an urgency to share with people the sure and
certain hope found only in Jesus Christ. The apostle Peter goes to great
lengths to warn his readers that this world is going to come to an end in a
cataclysmic fashion (2 Peter 3:10). But he also says that God is patient, not
wanting any to perish. Instead of using God's patience as permission to pursue
our own dreams, every Christian must endeavor to prepare those who have no hope
with the hope of salvation in Christ.
If you have hope in Christ and know of others who don't, ask God to give you an open door to share His Good News with them.
The problem of the church today is not that the Gospel has lost its power, but that the church has lost its audience.
