2 Peter 3:9

    I’ve always thought the Second Coming will be the BIGGEST EVENT of human history. It seems the great commentator Matthew Henry agrees. Without the Second Coming, ”all the other articles of the Christian faith will signify very little; this is that which fills up and gives the finishing stroke to all the rest.” (on 2 Peter 3) Amen! He continues: ”The believer not only desires that he may come, but having a promise that he will come, he is also firmly and fully persuaded that he will come.” We are admonished to be ”looking for the Day of God” and also to be ”hastening” it! (2 Peter 3:12) Now, may you understand why this is a subject I reference often in conversation. Maranatha! Come, LORD Jesus, come!

(2 Peter 3:3) Jesus WILL COME again! All through Scripture, is the promise of His Coming to judge evil and redeem His people! (See also Matthew 13:38-43)

    So I was watching X-Men 3 last night with my wife (in response to the new X-Men movie which is good, I recommend!), and in the middle I started thinking, “Man that’d be tight to be Wolverine!” As I was thinking about running around and cutting people’s heads off I got a gentle reminder from the [...]
