THE THINGS WE MUST NEVER FORGET: LIFE LESSONS FROM SECOND PETER - Don’t be caught trying to preserve or maintain your relationship with Jesus. You will die a slow spiritual death that way as would any relationship not built on growth. Keep your attention on Jesus and his saving work. Not just in worship choruses or through your actions, but by growing in the knowledge of Him. His truth must be learned before His Person can be properly loved. His truth must be carved into the mind before we can obey it with our will.
