Time Well Spent with Cornelius F. Warren

Send Time Well Spent and Pastor Warren a text about this message. Feel free to ask questions or share comments. Join us as Cornelius Warren continues teaching thru 2 Peter. Tonight we will discuss chapter 3: 10-13. Peter is writing to counter some false teachers who were denying that Jesus is coming again to judge the world. They denied that truth because they wanted to pursue their greedy, sensual lifestyle. They were drawing away some naïve professing Christians with their message of “freedom,” which was really leading people into slavery to sin.After explaining why the Lord’s return seems to be delayed -- because He has a different perspective of time and because He is patiently waiting for all to come to repentance (verses 8-9) -- Peter returns to the theme that he mentioned in verse 7, that the day of judgment is coming. As with all biblical prophecy, it is not given to satisfy our curiosity about the end times, but rather to motivate us toward godly living. Peter’s message is simple:Since Christ will return in frightening judgment, we must live in holiness in light of that day.
