Fire and Judgment

As a dad, I find myself repeating myself all the time. It is not that my kids are slower to learn than others, but simply that repetition is the king of teaching techniques. There is no skill to be learned that isn’t mastered without it. Language, sport, arts – all require repetition. Peter must know this – for the past month he has been banging the drum for us to understand the reality around us. We either suffer for Christ, or we suffer his judgment. Today, let us see how Peter ends his discussion on suffering, by looking at three ways we are NOT to suffer. 1. Suffer without surprised response 2. Suffer without shameful reasons 3. Suffer without sin’s reproach \
