Share sound doctrine

“First, understand this: during the Last Days, scoffers will come, following their own desires and asking, Where is this promised ‘coming’ of His? For our fathers have died, and everything goes on just as it has since the beginning of creation.”
2 Peter 3:3 CJB

Nothing new here. People will always want to do their own thing, and scoff at believers who are waiting for and pointing to Messiah! They only want to hear what makes them happy at the moment!

“For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear.”
2 Timothy 4:3 CJB

That time is now, we have teachers who have great influence and share nothing but foolishness! Unfortunately, people today don’t want to hear anything that makes them unhappy or challenges them! Few people want to hear sound teaching and many teachers are more than willing to accommodate that!

Yes, they will stop listening to the truth, but will turn aside to follow myths.”
2 Timothy 4:4 CJB

What is sad is so many so-called Bible teachers actually don’t teach systematic Bible studies. They may sound and look cool, but are foolish and are out context! Many teachers don’t teach Bible prophecy, even though Peter and Paul prophesied that in the time to come many will just stop teaching! This should ignite and encourage us to be preachers and teachers of God’s glorious Word!
May your day be richly blessed!

Hear and grow

“But among the people there were also false prophets, just as there will be false teachers among you. Under false pretenses they will introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and thus bring on themselves swift destruction.”
2 Peter 2:1 CJB

Yeshua warned us that in the last days there will be false teachers! We need to be studying and seeking God through His Word so we know His truth! Bottom line we are to teach and warn people, just like Peter is doing here!

“Hear instruction, and grow wise; do not refuse it.”
Proverbs 8:33 CJB

As much as we need to teach and warn we also need to be wise enough to hear and grow! God wants us to be focused on Him so as we go out in the world we will be able to teach and warn, but also be able to hear and grow!

“Teach me to do Your will, because you are my God. Let Your good Spirit guide me on ground that is level.”
Psalm 143:10 CJB

Today, let’s be in the Word of God to know how to guide, instruct, grow and to be on guard in the world around us!
Have a blessed day!

Share

“I know that I will soon lay aside this tent of mine, as our LORD Yeshua the Messiah has made it clear to me.”
2 Peter 1:14 CJB

One day we will all breathe our last breath and Peter is making clear that he knows that! What he doing is telling us to be fervent for sharing the Good News of Salvation! Why? Our time to go home is also getting closer!

We always need to be ready to share the Good News! Why? Because the world is in desperate need of Salvation!

“Proclaim the Word! Be on hand with it whether the time seems right or not. Convict, censure and exhort with unfailing patience and with teaching.”
2 Timothy 4:2 CJB

“Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai; let us exalt His name together.”
Psalm 34:3 CJB

Let’s be believers who proclaim and invite people to know Yeshua at every chance we get! Why? Because time is short!
May your day be richly blessed!

Be on guard

“Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
1 Peter 5:8 CJB

The point of this verse is that we are to be on guard at all times because the Adversary (Satan) is extremely crafty!

“Now the serpent (Satan) was more crafty than any wild animal which Adonai, God, had made. He said to the woman, Did God really say, ‘You are not to eat from any tree in the garden’?”
Genesis 3:1 CJB

We all know what happened to Adam and Eve, deceived by the adversary! We all need to be careful of the enemy! Why? Because he is really craftier than all of us and is always looking for ways to cast doubt, deceive and cause havoc in the world!

“It happened one day that the sons of God came to serve Adonai, and among them came the Adversary [Hebrew: Satan]. Adonai asked the Adversary, Where are you coming from? The Adversary answered Adonai, From roaming through the earth, wandering here and there.”
Job 1:6-7 CJB

Two things to take in here: Every time believers get together, Satan shows up to see who he can stumble! Also Satan is always roaming around seeing whom he can deceive! We just need to be alert and studying the word of God so we are always able to defend ourselves from his attacks!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!
