In light of all of the opposition, all of our doubts, and all of our internal ugliness, how will we move forward with joy? Jude knows. “God is able.” God is able to keep us from falling away from Jesus. God is able to present us without fault by the blood of Jesus. When you are afraid, remember that God is able!

Jude, the half-brother of Jesus, longed to celebrate God’s salvation with his fellow brothers and sisters in the faith. “But I had to write” and tell you to fight! Jude begins. His change-of-course is a blunt reminder that we live in a mixed up world that requires vigilance, courage, and caution. We might wish we could simply share the good news of God’s love week after week, but the real world re...

In his final recorded words in the Bible, Peter offers his fellow Christians two overarching commands—Guard and grow. Be on your guard against all that opposes the the truth of the Word. Grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus. This is the wisest way to live as we  prepare to see our Savior’s face.

Why does this broken planet keep on spinning? If Jesus promised to return to put an end to our pain, why isn’t he back yet? Why does he allow us to continue to hurt? Peter gives us perspective on this essential questions for our faith.

One day, Jesus will show up unannounced, abruptly ending the pain, suffering, and darkness of this world as he brings a new home, a new reality, and a new future where everything is right and good. In light of that day, what should we do? How should we live? Peter urges us towards godliness in holiness as we eagerly await for Jesus to return.

Peter spends an entire chapter warning his friends about the “false teachers” that would show up in their church. With scathing analysis, he labels them “arrogant,” “experts in greed,” and “dogs” that lick up their own vomit. Why would the man who just encouraged us to be kind and loving say such things (and encourage modern Christians to feel the same way)? This chapter has the answer.

One of life’s scarier realities is uncertainty. When you are uncertain about your health, your grades, your parents’ marriage, or your own relationship. That doubt can rob us of confidence, joy, and peace. Perhaps that’s why God’s Spirit moved men long ago to write divine words on ancient scrolls, leaving behind a Book “more certain” than anything else in the world.

Peter kicks off his letter with a reminder of (1) who we are in Christ and (2) what we are called to become through Christ. We already have divine power, precious promises, and the calling of God over our lives. That is why this apostle urges us to “make every effort” to grow in our faith, adding more virtue and knowledge and love as the days pass, all in light of the day when we see King Jesus fa...

Perhaps more than ever, we are aware of our need for self-care. In a busy, burn-out world, God’s people are called to rest, be still, and just “be” in the presence of God. But can self-care become selfish? Can a focus on ourselves go too far? Do we need to relearn the rhythms of exhausting work and actual rest?
