Peer into the future with Pastor Chuck Swindoll through his exposition of 2 Peter 3:7–13. Along the way, he boils down prophecy as inspiration to live for God today.

Scripture affirms that those who have knowledge of the truth must use that gift wisely because God will hold them accountable for it.

The seed of sin tempts the heart of every person. Some yield to sin’s enticement and allow it to take root in their soul until it bears fruits of wickedness. False teachers may look impressive, but they are entangled in the weeds of sin. They may claim to have the truth, but they are deceived. Only Jesus Christ can uproot the curse of sin. Study 2 Peter 2:12–19 with Pastor Chuck Swindoll and learn how you can walk closely with God and keep the garden of your heart pure.

Like an expertly cut diamond, God’s character is multifaceted. All His attributes work together to magnify the light of His glory. Two such attributes are His mercy and justice. These qualities seem to be at odds with one another, don’t they? How can God show mercy with one hand while dealing out judgment with the other? Jesus’ boldest disciple tackled this question head-on in 2 Peter 2:4–11. Ponder this quandary with Pastor Chuck Swindoll. While the complex fullness of God’s character remains a mystery, followers of Jesus Christ can rejoice in the wonder of who God is.
