Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee 2 Peter 3:5-10
“Our time left on earth is limited” is the important message our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, has for us in this study of the world that was, the world that is, and ultimately the world that will be after God’s judgment.
Thru the Bible - Minute with McGee Dr. J. Vernon McGee
Our Attitude Toward Sin
“Whosoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected (or perfected, however you want it): by this know we that we are in him.” Now, here we have “keepeth his word.” The Word of God then is perfected in Him. He’s gone past the commandments, and He just wants to please God. And that’s what a child of God ought to do. What is your attitude toward sin? Does it trouble you? Does it break your fellowship with the Father, and does it cause you to cry out in the night, “Oh, God, I’m wrong. I want to come to You and confess this. I’ve been wrong. I want fellowship with You.” And, may I say that on that basis, He’ll restore fellowship with us.

Daily Promises
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, [even] the sure mercies of David. (Isaiah 55:3)
Everlasting is the covenant between God and His people. Evermore shall Christ rule upon the throne of David. His victory is won. His race is finished. Nevermore shall God's people look at the doom of history wondering, "Where is this looked-for salvation?" He has come! He has won! And we, His people, have seen Him!
Where Is Your God?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? — Psalm 42:3
While the world may ask the question where is your God, we can be assured He is ever present, active and working in our lives.

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (May 17th)
"So to walk even as He walked." — 1 John 2:6
Why should Christians imitate Christ? They should do it for their own sakes. If they desire to be in a healthy state of soul-if they would escape the sickness of sin, and enjoy the vigour of growing grace, let Jesus be their model. For their own happiness' sake, if they would drink wine on the lees, well refined; if they would enjoy holy and happy communion with Jesus; if they would be lifted up above the cares and troubles of this world, let them walk even as He walked. There is nothing which can so assist you to walk towards heaven with good speed, as wearing the image of Jesus on your heart to rule all its motions. It is when, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you are enabled to walk with Jesus in His very footsteps, that you are most happy, and most known to be the sons of God. Peter afar off is both unsafe and uneasy. Next, for religion's sake, strive to be like Jesus. Ah! poor religion, thou hast been sorely shot at by cruel foes, but thou hast not been wounded one-half so dangerously by thy foes as by thy friends. Who made those wounds in the fair hand of Godliness? The professor who used the dagger of hypocrisy. The man who with pretences, enters the fold, being nought but a wolf in sheep's clothing, worries the flock more than the lion outside. There is no weapon half so deadly as a Judas-kiss. Inconsistent professors injure the gospel more than the sneering critic or the infidel. But, especially for Christ's own sake, imitate His example. Christian, lovest thou thy Saviour? Is His name precious to thee? Is His cause dear to thee? Wouldst thou see the kingdoms of the world become His? Is it thy desire that He should be glorified? Art thou longing that souls should be won to Him? If so, imitate Jesus; be an "epistle of Christ, known and read of all men."
True that!
