Another great word Pastor Jack,
Your concluding point about the world not understanding the Word was so true and at the same time, so frustrating to Christians who are trying to shake the unbeliever from their sleep(death), for they are truly dead spiritually, and it is ONLY the Holy Spirit who is able to shake them awake.
We Christians need to keep watering the earth, all the while keeping in mind that our water is often watering the stones. It seems to me, too often, that the stones are multiplying or else the plants are very withered. God grant them life before it is too late.
Thank you so much for sharing such an important topic.

Your own words my brother are like water to a withering plant…they inspire and encourage me…as they often do my brother. I know that I make a very poor imitation of the Holy Spirit and sadly, I have tried too many times to be but I must leave room for His convicting them and not me which I would totally mess up. May God richly bless you my brother.
In this article, you have truly made some good points and used the power of the Holy Spirit to its greatest extent! 😀 Point #3 reminds me of all those Bible haters, even Satan himself used the conniving art of pretext to tempt Jesus. And something else unrelated, I saw a real-life video on YT of American drill sargeants going through the roof and flipping beds and throwing soldier’s possessions. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?! O_O Suffice to say, all that rage could even be a match for Jesus’s holy indignation at the corrupt temple.
I agree about the madness because Jesus is not ruling…yet! That day is coming when all the madness will be replaced by gladness. The “Bible haters” are growing my friend. And it is the God-Man behind the Word that they hate and we shouldn’t be surprised when they hate us too. Thanks for the encouragment my good friend.
I think you meant 2 Peter 3:16-18 rather than 2 Peter 2:16-18.
You are spot on my fellow brother in Christ. Thank you. It has been corrected showing only the Word of God is without error…us, not so much! LOL Your kindness in this regard and your humility in showing us our error is much appreciated. May God richly bless you for that.
excellent commentary
♥️ Enlightenment overcomes me, when learning that a man not believing in Jesus Christ lacks the ability to fully grasp God’s word!!!
Due to lacking belief in his word, its looking like not much more than foolishness!!!♥️
Hello Carrie. Jesus is the One and only way to the Father in the Kingdom of Heaven (John 6:44; Acts 4:12). The gospel is foolishness to those who are going to perish rejecting Christ,m but for those who believe, it is the very power to save (1 Cor 1:18).
