There are objective and subjective aspects of assurance. I bet I know what your default option is!
 

If you go to 2 Peter 1:5-11 to discuss assurance, without going to 2 Peter 1:1-4 = then you fail! 

2 Peter is simply the “go to” book for living in troubled times, including times of persecution. 

2 Peter 1:1-4

1:1 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

Does your speech glorify God? Do you tell or listen to dirty jokes? Do you participate in coarse jesting or make sexual innuendo's? The way we use our tongue is an overflow of our heart and reflects what we allow our mind to absorb. Think carefully if you are using your tongue to curse or bless the Lord as you listen to Pastor Mike address this subject.

Max apologizes? Ever see the movie, “Mad Max?” Is it mad that Max seeks to ‘listen’ after ‘wounding’ sinners?
