How Should You Live If Jesus Is Coming Back? | 2 Peter 3:11–13
Welcome to The Daily. HEADS UP: We are going to fly through 2 Peter 3 this week, and then Jude, which is a one-chapter letter in the same Journal. But our next study is Esther. I have titled this one, FOR SUCH A TIME: Courage When God Seems Silent. Grab the Esther Journal now. If you are a Project23 donor giving $35/month or more, do not purchase one; we have already sent this to you in the mail. Our text today is 2 Peter 3:11-13: Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. — 2 Peter 3:11-13 Peter has just described the coming day of the Lord. The present heavens and earth will not last forever. Everything we treat as permanent will eventually be dissolved. Then Peter asks the only question that matters: "What sort of people ought you to be?" Peter does not give us an end-times prophecy merely to indulge our curiosity. He gives us end-times prophecy to transform our conduct. If Jesus is returning, then we should live lives marked by holiness and godliness. Holiness means being set apart for God. Godliness means living with a continued awareness of him. Together, they describe a life that increasingly reflects the character and priorities of Christ. Like other theologians, I can become more interested in understanding the details of the end times than in becoming the kind of man who is ready to meet Jesus. You see, it is possible to study timelines, debate interpretations, and still avoid the repentance God is asking from me today. Peter does not want us to do that. And he is not about to do that either. The purpose of comprehending what is coming is to change how we are living. We are waiting for "new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells." Our future home, here on earth, will not be marked by deception, corruption, exploitation, or rebellion. Righteousness will reign. And if that is where we are going, and what we should expect, then it should begin shaping us now. We should tell the truth because righteousness is coming. We should practice purity because righteousness is coming. We should forgive, serve, give, and obey because righteousness is coming. It is time to loosen our grip on temporary possessions, positions, and pleasures because the present world will not last. This does not mean we withdraw from life or neglect our responsibilities. It means we live in the present with our hearts anchored in God's promised future. Christians are not waiting passively for escape. We are actively preparing for the King. So before making your next decision today, ask yourself: What would someone waiting for a world of righteousness do? Your answer may change the conversation you have, the temptation you resist, the money you spend, the apology you make, or the person you choose to serve. Prophecy was not given merely to inform your timeline. It was given to transform your life. DO THIS: Choose one decision you need to make today and ask: What would someone waiting for a world of righteousness do? ASK THIS: Are you more interested in understanding the timing of Christ's return or being ready for it? What temporary concern has been receiving more attention than it deserves? How should the promise of a world where righteousness dwells change one decision you make today? PRAY THIS: Jesus, make me ready for your return by teaching me to live with holiness, godliness, and hope in every decision I make today. Amen PLAY THIS: Christ Our Hope in Life and Death

Why Hasn't Jesus Returned Yet? | 2 Peter 3:8–10
Welcome to The Daily. HEADS UP: We are going to fly through 2 Peter 3 this week, and then Jude, which is a one-chapter letter in the same Journal. But our next study is Esther. I have titled this one, FOR SUCH A TIME: Courage When God Seems Silent. Grab the Esther Journal now. If you are a Project23 donor giving $35/month or more, do not purchase one; we have already sent this to you in the mail. Our text today is 2 Peter 3:8-10: But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. — 2 Peter 3:8-10 Why hasn't Jesus returned yet? The answer—God does not experience time as we do. A thousand years are like a day to him, and a day is like a thousand years. Peter is not giving us a formula for decoding biblical prophecy. He is reminding us that God is not trapped inside our timetable. What feels long to us is not long to him. The Lord has not forgotten his promise. He is not distracted, powerless, or slow. He is patient. Like 1000 years patient. Every added day before Christ returns gives more people an opportunity to repent. What we interpret as delay may actually be God's mercy holding the door open. I am grateful God did not close that door before I walked through it. So I should not resent his patience toward someone else who has not yet come home. Maybe there is someone in your life you have almost given up on. You have prayed, shared the gospel, and watched that person continue resisting Christ. Peter reminds us that God's patience is still working. As long as the door remains open, we should continue praying, loving, and speaking truth. But patience does not mean the day will never come. Peter says the day of the Lord will arrive like a thief—unexpectedly and decisively. The present world will not continue forever. Everything hidden will be exposed, and every person will answer to God. That means God's patience should not produce carelessness. It should produce urgency. Don't delay your own repentance. Don't postpone obedience. Don't assume you will always have another opportunity to speak to someone about Jesus. Christ's return is certain. God's timing is perfect. And today is another expression of his mercy. What looks like delay to us may be mercy for someone who has not yet come home. DO THIS: Write down the name of one person who does not know Christ. Pray specifically for that person's repentance, then take one caring step today: send a message, make a call, offer encouragement, or begin a spiritual conversation. ASK THIS: Why do we sometimes interpret God's patience as slowness? Who in your life needs continued prayer and a clear invitation to follow Jesus? Is there any act of repentance or obedience you have been postponing? PRAY THIS: Lord, thank you for your patience toward me, and use my words and actions to help someone else turn to Jesus while the door of mercy remains open. Amen PLAY THIS: His Mercy Is More

What Do Scoffers Choose to Forget? | 2 Peter 3:5–7
Welcome to The Daily. HEADS UP: We are going to fly through 2 Peter 3 this week, and then Jude, which is a one-chapter letter in the same Journal. But our next study is Esther. I have titled this one, FOR SUCH A TIME: Courage When God Seems Silent. Grab the Esther Journal now. If you are a Project23 donor giving $35/month or more, do not purchase one; we have already sent this to you in the mail. Our text today is 2 Peter 3:5-7: For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. — 2 Peter 3:5-7 The scoffers here claim that everything has continued unchanged since creation. Because judgment has not come yet, they assume it never will. But Peter says they are deliberately overlooking the facts and the evidence. The world has not always continued as it is now. God spoke creation into existence, and in Noah's day, he brought judgment through the flood. The same God that formed the world also maintains its future. God has not lost control of what he created. The stability of the present can make us forget this. The sun rises, schedules fill, bills arrive, and life moves forward. Because tomorrow often looks like today, we begin treating temporary things as though they are all there is. I can easily do this myself. I invest attention, energy, and emotion in things that will not last while neglecting what has eternal value. A full calendar, like mine, can create the illusion that the present world is all that matters. But Peter reminds us that history is not moving in loops. It is moving toward a day God has already appointed. The world exists by his Word. The world is sustained by his Word. And judgment will come according to his Word. This does not mean the things of this time are worthless. God made everything we see, and we should steward it faithfully. But possessions, achievements, platforms, and earthly influence will not endure forever. People will endure. God's Word will for sure endure. And the kingdom of Christ will endure. What we should do is examine what receives your best time and deepest affection. Are you building your life around what seems permanent, or around what God says is eternal? The scoffers deliberately forget what God has done because remembering it would force them to face what God has promised. Do not make the mistake the scoffers do. God spoke the world into existence and has not lost authority over how it ends. Remember what scoffers choose to forget! DO THIS: Review how you spent your time, attention, and money yesterday. Choose one investment that was focused only on temporary concerns, and redirect something today toward an eternal priority: God's Word, prayer, generosity, obedience, or a person who needs Christ. ASK THIS: Why does the apparent stability of the world make God's coming judgment easy to ignore? What temporary concern has been receiving too much of your attention? What would change if you truly believed your present choices carry eternal significance? PRAY THIS: God, keep me from treating temporary things as permanent, and teach me to invest my life in what will matter in eternity. Amen PLAY THIS: Only a Holy God.

Why Do People Mock the Return of Jesus? | 2 Peter 3:3–4
Welcome to The Daily. HEADS UP: We are going to fly through 2 Peter 3 this week, and then Jude, which is a one-chapter letter in the same Journal. But our next study is Esther. I have titled this one, FOR SUCH A TIME: Courage When God Seems Silent. Grab the Esther Journal now. If you are a Project23 donor giving $35/month or more, do not purchase one; we have already sent this to you in the mail. Our text today is 2 Peter 3:3-4: Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation." — 2 Peter 3:3-4 Peter warns that scoffers will come questioning their belief in the promised return of Jesus. You have to admit their argument sounds reasonable if you are not a believer: "Where is Jesus? Generations have come and gone, life continues as it has for decades, and nothing seems to have changed." But Peter looks beyond their words and exposes their hearts. The scoffers are not merely asking questions. They are "following their own sinful desires." They don't want a King because a returning King means one thing—accountability. If Jesus is coming back, then all of history is moving toward an eventual judgment. That means our choices matter, and one day a King will call us to account. So, what do scoffers do? They mock the promise of his return. Scripture makes plenty of room for honest questions. But Peter warns that sometimes an intellectual objection, or ill-motivated questions, are protecting our moral preference. There are those who reject what God says because accepting it would require them to change how they live. For example, I can say that I believe Jesus is returning while making decisions that suggest I expect this life to continue forever. Therefore, I can delay obedience, hold tightly to temporary things, and assume there will always be more time. Peter's warning forces me to consider whether Christ's return is merely a theology I embrace or a reality shaping the totality of my life. I think there are plenty of believers who actually believe Jesus is coming back, but live as though he is not. Therefore, they are postponing repentance. They are delaying forgiveness. They are investing in things that will not last. The apparent normality of life does not cancel the promise of Christ's return. The sun may rise, work may continue, and another ordinary day may begin. But these ordinary days are still moving toward an extraordinary conclusion. The return of Jesus Christ. The issue is not whether unbelievers find this eventual reality unbelievable. The issue is whether your life shows that you really believe it. Christ's return should never produce panic in us. It should produce active readiness. It should help us hold temporary things loosely, and take sin seriously, and love people urgently, and obey Jesus immediately. So today, live as if the King is coming back and don't privately mock his imminent return. DO THIS: Identify one area in which you have been living as though Jesus will never return. Take one immediate step of obedience today: confess the sin, make the call, forgive the person, end the compromise, or begin the work God has been telling you to do. ASK THIS: Why does the return of Jesus threaten a life built around personal autonomy? Is there an area where your actions contradict your stated belief that Christ is returning? What act of obedience have you been postponing because you assume there will always be more time? PRAY THIS: Jesus, help me live today with joyful readiness, taking your return seriously and obeying you without delay. Amen PLAY THIS: Even So Come

Why Do Christians Need to Remember God's Word? | 2 Peter 3:1–2
Welcome to The Daily. If you still don't have a 2 Peter Scripture Journal, get one now. HEADS UP: We are going to fly through 2 Peter 3 this week, and then Jude, which is a one-chapter letter in the same Journal. But our next study is Esther. I have titled this one, FOR SUCH A TIME: Courage When God Seems Silent. Grab the Esther Journal now. If you are a Project23 donor giving $35/month or more, do not purchase one; we have already sent this to you in the mail. Our text today is 2 Peter 3:1-2: This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles. — 2 Peter 3:1-2 Peter begins chapter three with a reminder. In fact, he says that reminding believers was one of the main reasons he wrote both of his letters. He wanted to stir up their minds so they would remember what God had already revealed through past prophets, other apostles, and the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. Peter knew that even sincere followers could still become spiritually fatigued. We do not always drift from the truth because we openly reject it. Sometimes we drift because we stop spending time in it. The truth remains somewhere in the caverns of our minds, but it no longer influences our reactions, decisions, or desires. Thus Peter, the sage who had learned this same lesson, repeats himself. He needed the reminder to "tend" and "feed sheep," and they need the reminder as well. Peter knows what is coming next. Scoffers will question Christ's return. False teachers will distort Scripture. The culture will continue pressing believers to doubt what God has promised. But before Peter confronts those people, he calls believers back to the Word they have already received. Remember what the prophets predicted, the apostles taught, and what Jesus commanded. God's truth is undivided. It is one story centered on Christ. The prophets anticipated him, the apostles proclaimed him, and he remains the center and authority of it all. I have studied and taught Scripture for years, but I too still need reminders. Sometimes I open a familiar text and think I already know what it says. Then pressure comes, or discouragement settles in, and I realize I have remembered the words without living by the words. I don't always need something new from God's Word. Sometimes I need God to awaken me again to what I already know and what he has already told me to do in his Word. Maybe you do too. Maybe you know that Christ forgives, but you need to remember it when shame speaks. Maybe you know that Jesus is returning, but you need to remember it when the world appears permanent. Maybe you may know what God commands, but you need to remember it when obedience becomes costly. Biblical reminders are not meaningless repetition. They are protection against spiritual drift. Peter declares that reminders "stir up" the mind. The idea is active stirring. Truth that has settled into the bottom of our minds needs to be stirred up in our minds again. We need Scripture to interrupt our assumptions, challenge our emotions, and awaken our convictions. Don't assume that familiar truth has nothing more to teach you. The truths you know best may be the truths you most urgently need to practice. Before you chase a new insight today, return to what God has already told you to do. DO THIS: Write down one biblical promise or command you need to remember this week, and place it somewhere you will see every day. Each time you see it, read it aloud and ask: How should this truth shape my next decision? ASK THIS: What biblical truth do you know but frequently forget when pressure or temptation comes? How can a familiar passage still stir up and awaken your mind? What practical habit would help you remember God's Word

Why Is Returning to Your Old Life So Dangerous? | 2 Peter 2:20–22
Our text today is 2 Peter 2:20-22: For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. What the true proverb says has happened to them: "The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire." — 2 Peter 2:20-22 Peter ends this chapter with a graphic warning. He describes people who escaped the world's corruption through the knowledge of Jesus Christ but became involved in it again. They learned the truth, experienced its power, and "appeared" to leave their former lives behind. But they returned to the very corruption they once escaped. Peter declares their final state became worse than their first state. Why? Because exposure to truth does not always produce real surrender. A person can learn Christian lingo, experience Christian community, modify external behavior, and still inwardly refuse the lordship of Christ, while looking like they do. Peter's immediate focus in the text is false teachers. They knew the way, taught the way, and used the language of the way. But the way they taught was not the way they lived. He compares these fraudulent followers to a dog returning to its vomit and a cleaned-up pig returning to the mire. The images are intentionally repulsive because sin is repulsive and so is the action. But we all know old patterns have a way of calling us back. I know there are sins I have confessed, habits I have left, and attitudes I have rejected that still try to persuade me they have something new to offer. But sin never becomes better with time. It only becomes more deceptive and more destructive. When we return to the old life, it only comes with heavier chains. But remember, Peter is not describing a believer who stumbles, grieves his sin, repents, and returns to Christ. His warning is aimed at those who repeatedly resist the truth and deliberately return to immorality as a resolved way of life. A stumble is not the same as surrendering to our old ways. We should never treat any sin casually. What begins as one compromise can become a renewed entanglement. A reopened door can become a stronghold of sin. So pay attention to any old patterns inviting you back. A secret conversation. A hidden website. A dishonest practice. A wild appetite. Or a bitterness you once surrendered. Peter's point is this: knowing the way is not the same as living in it. Hearing truth is not the same as obeying it. Being cleaned up outwardly is not the same as being transformed inwardly. So let Christ continue to transform your life from the inside out. DO THIS: Identify one former pattern that has been inviting you back. Close one practical door to it today, and tell a trusted believer: "This has been calling me back, and I need your help to keep walking forward." ASK THIS: What former pattern or temptation are you most vulnerable to returning to? How can you distinguish between struggling against sin and surrendering yourself back to it? What practical door needs to be closed before an old temptation becomes a renewed entanglement? PRAY THIS: Jesus, keep me from returning to what you rescued me from, and give me the courage to close every door that leads back into bondage. Amen PLAY THIS: Come Thou Fount

How to Recognize a False Teacher | 2 Peter 2
How can you recognize a false teacher before their message damages your faith? False teachers rarely identify themselves as false. They may use an open Bible, familiar Christian language, and confident spiritual claims. But in 2 Peter 2, Peter teaches us to look beyond the platform and examine the message, the motive, the character, and the fruit. In this Weekly Bible study, Vince Miller explains: How false teaching enters the church quietly Why an open Bible does not guarantee an accurate message How greed and uncontrolled desire distort spiritual leadership Why doctrine and character cannot remain separated What Peter means when he says God knows how to rescue and judge Why false freedom always produces slavery How to audit the voices currently shaping your faith False teachers promise freedom while remaining enslaved to corruption. Jesus offers something entirely different. He tells us the truth, lays down his life for us, forgives our sin, and gives us the power to walk in genuine freedom. Reflection and Small Group Discussion Questions 1. Why does Peter warn that false teachers will arise "among you," and how should that shape the way Christians practice discernment? 2. What does it mean for someone to secretly introduce destructive teaching rather than openly reject Christianity? 3. How can Christian words such as grace, freedom, blessing, and love be used while their biblical meanings are being distorted? 4. What is the difference between evaluating a teacher by charisma and evaluating a teacher by character? 5. Why does Peter connect false teaching so frequently with greed, sexual immorality, and uncontrolled desire? 6. What encouragement should believers receive from Peter's statement that God knows both how to rescue the godly and judge the unrighteous? 7. Why is delayed judgment easy to mistake for absent judgment? 8. Which of the voices shaping your faith need to be tested more carefully against Scripture? 9. Why does Peter describe false freedom as a form of slavery? Where have you seen sin promise freedom but produce bondage? 10. What desire within you might make a particular false message especially appealing, and how can you submit that desire to Christ?

How to Trust God When He Seems Silent | Esther Bible Study
God May Seem Silent. He Is Never Absent. We all want God to make his plan obvious. We want a sign. An open door. A clear answer. But sometimes, God leads differently. He works behind the scenes. He positions people. He prepares moments. He exposes threats. He overturns evil. And he invites ordinary believers to take courageous steps before they understand how the story will end. That's the tension of Esther. Esther and Mordecai are living far from Jerusalem under the rule of a powerful pagan empire. Their people are vulnerable. Their identity is complicated. Their future is uncertain. Then a crisis arrives. Esther must decide whether she'll remain comfortable and quiet or risk everything to do what is right. Her decision still confronts us today. Because faith isn't only believing that God is working. Faith is acting like it. Now grab your Esther Scripture Journal and follow along.
