Contemplative Bible Reading

2 Peter 3:17 (New Living Translation)

17 You already know these things, dear friends. So be on guard; then you will not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people and lose your own secure footing.

Peter writes this to Christians scattered about here and there. In the preceding sentences, Peter explains that some things Christians have read are hard to understand. Some wicked people took advantage of these hard-to-understand things and twisted them around to their benefit of evil.

Peter encourages the Christians to be on guard of these errors. Don’t lose your secure footing because of these twisted things.

Here in the 2020s, we have FaceXGram and all the rest of those things. Everyone broadcasts freely to the entire human race (see, for example, my comments twice a week). Let’s not be carried away by the errors of those who seek advantage. Let’s stay on solid ground. The message of the Gospel is simple but sometimes difficult to live. We sin. We are forgiven and saved. Let’s live like it.
