Calvary Chapel of San Antonio

"One of the major problems within the church today (we can do nothing about what happens outside of the church) is that not enough Christians are convinced that God's perspective is the right one! Every believer has to choose who he/she is going to

believe. Are we going to believe what God says is evil or will we believe the world we live

in?"

"God is simply assigning roles in His church. Do you think He has the right to establish rules and order in the church He bought with His blood? I do. I really do. (By the way, the greatest liberator of women in history is Jesus Christ!). Jesus is the Head—we must never forget that. And, because He loves us, His order has specific purpose and mutual benefit for men and women. We need to trust the Lord..."

"This letter is especially important as it was written in Peter’s final years (perhaps even his final days). It is almost a letter ‘from the other side’ sort-of thing; when someone like

Peter knows he is going to die, as is the case in this letter, what he has to say is especially significant."

"God's response to vv.1-2 is an angry one! This is God's declaration of war, the only time in recorded history when God gives an exact date for judgment! The behavior of men and women on the earth had so grieved the Lord that He numbered their days! 120 years from the moment when this prophecy was given, rain would begin to fall on the earth and the judgment of the flood would destroy mankind."
