Peter also says to hold on to our heavenly hopes and repeatedly check the condition of our hearts, and a way of life, that only makes sense if we are absolutely sure that we will have a great reward in heaven. So in today's message, he admonishes us to finish well during tough times.

And because we are being watched, we need to be loving and compasionate which the world will accept but what happens when it doesn't? While we treat the world with a tendeheart but still receive harm for...
