Explore the Bible: 1, 2 Peter; Jude

by Jeff Iorg (Editor)

For many followers of Christ, living in America today is like living in a strange land. We feel like aliens who have awakened in a hostile environment toxic to our faith. We need a sure word to help us understand how to survive--or, more than that--how to thrive in the new circumstances confronting us. The problems seem overwhelming--racism, terrorism, family breakdowns, abortion, same-sex marriage, pornography, prostitution, sex trafficking, and on and on. It's easy to think we are facing a situation Christians have never before encountered. But that's not the case. The first Christians faced many of the same issues we are dealing with today. And yet, they found strength to endure and the insight they needed to thrive from various resources--including letters from their leaders. We too can learn much from the Letters of Peter and Jude about living for Christ in a threatening world.
