Grace and Fire - Part 2
from HopeInMadison · host Andy Wulff
Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! --2 Peter 3:11-12 (ESV) Doctrine is contained in thick, dusty books located in the back of libraries far away from everyday life. It’s great for seminary students and professors but unnecessary for real people. Be honest. Is that how you think of doctrine? My guess is, you wouldn’t pick up a book on doctrine for some light pleasure reading. In the buzz of life it seems pretty distant. But I propose it really is not. In fact, I think everyone is a theologian. And everyone lives by some doctrine, even atheists. This week, we are going to examine the connection between our understanding of the end with our life today. Peter wants us to connect the dots. How we understand the end will change the way we live today. I want to encourage you to read through 2 Peter 3. We will close out our series this week.
