We need to recognize the destructive nature of the worldly kingdom we live in, resolve not to be assimilated by it, and rest in Christ to whose heavenly kingdom we belong.

Just because we can’t see Him doesn’t mean God is not at work.  He is working in the ordinary, insignificant, moments of the day-to-day.  We may not be able to discern how He is working until after-the-fact, if that's even possible, but He is.

TE Aaron Raines teaches the first of 7 classes of our bi-weekly summer Sunday School series we've entitled "Our Distinctives".  The material covered what it means to be confessional.

Peter warned against false teachers and gave instructions for how Christians in Asia Minor should stand firm.  Because the churches who received Peter's letter followed his instruction, they continued to gather for worship and fellowship in the same way that we continue to do two millennia later.

Christ will return.  We are to wait patiently until He does.  But our waiting is active not passive.

In the historic examples Peter referred to, there was not only a lesson about judgment, there was also a lesson about rescue and salvation.
