Join me for my final message in the series, "Where is the Promise of His Coming? A Thief in the Night." Over the last two weeks my messages were specifically crafted to encourage us to not be distracted by all of the current world and cultural events and thus lose our passion for the lost and the completion of the mission of Jesus. Today however I wish to move to the final paragraph of 2 Peter 3 where he admonishes his readers to be aware of the suddenness of Christ's anticipated return and understand the reason for the "doctrine of imminence."

In all of His teachings and parable, The Master was constantly reminding His Disciples, old and new, to be "READY" for His return. That readiness does not just include our work to be on mission when He returns but also to be constantly on guard to be found living" holy and godly lives." Peter gives us a word of encouragement but also of exhortation regarding these very things.
