Grow into maturity
Today's word: 2 Peter 3:11-14, 18
11Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[a]That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
Are you eager to be older? Do you think being "grown-up" happens automatically at a certain age? It doesn't. It's a gradual process, just as growing physically is a process. Growing in the Lord takes time, too. We need to pray for help to become more mature every day - more like our savior. Start now!
To memorize: 2 Peter 3:18
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen

14So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
18But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

crap. does that mean fire suddenly come in the next second? lets say when i am having my breakfast during the 100th agung's birthday?
man... will i be burned? what did it meant anyway when the bible speaks abt not bein burned. and judging accoring to the works or whatever faith that we have.
will our body burn and our spirits go up? or it will stay like that, totally immune to the fire?
