Contemporary songs have a brief life. Traditional songs last a little longer. But today's Scripture reading includes a fragment of a Christian hymn 2,000 years old. That alone makes it worthy of consideration. It's about Christmas and "the mystery of godliness." To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/508/29

The heretical teachers were apparently extorting exorbitant amounts of money from the church using godliness as a means to financial gain.

Paul understood the importance of athletics in the lives of his contemporaries.

We tend to think in terms of the here and now, and that’s understandablewe live here and we’re living now! But this world is not home for believers. If we’re too focused on the things of this world and never give a thought to living in the light of tomorrow, we won’t live well in the HERE and NOW! This might all sound like a challenging riddle, but the Apostle Peter uses this line of thinking to w...

In Peter's time, some people wished to live without God so they rationalized Him into irrelevance. Others, thinking He had disappeared from the scene, sought life without Him. The same mistakes are being made today. But He is still God and firmly in control. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/508/29

here were many false teachers in these days, and one of the things they were saying is that there's no need to worry about a final judgment. But that's just wrong! If we believe there's no final judgment, then it really doesn't matter what we do. If it doesn't matter what we do, then we can spend our life raising "hell." We can just go out and have a wild time! We can do everything that our lower...

In Peter’s day, the Old Testament Scriptures and the apostles’ teachings were being twisted, fundamental truths ridiculed, and biblical morality repudiated. So he reminded the people of the significance of God’s Word. We need the reminder, too, for we live in similar days.

Human history is all about oppression and liberation, tyranny and emancipation. It is also about the abuse of freedom and confusion about liberty. Peter addressed the issue, talking about being slaves of depravity and a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.

When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives, we receive all of Him into all of us. But did you know that we can abuse Him? He is abused when we suppress Him, quench Him, or subdue Him. Limiting Him to only certain areas of our lives is considered abuse and a sin. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/508/29

Jesus said it was better that He leave earth so the Holy Spirit could come. He was one body amongst the people, but the Spirit would come to live inside of us. The Holy Spirit acts as a Fire that sets our souls ablaze and gives us the power to do things that are beyond our own strength.
