Today's Scripture
Have you ever heard of the statement, “wolf in sheep skin”? That would be someone who talks a good game (blaspheme in matters they do not understand) seems composed yet lacks self control (creatures of instinct) and will be around the people who will give them a good name (reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you). These people may act like they are following Christ and wanting to be a part of the church but you look at them and think, “something just doesn’t fit.” That's because they are playing the game but aren't truly following Christ.
Study Questions:
OBSERVATION:
Why does Peter want us to know that there will be those who seem like they are tracking with God but something just isn’t right? Are you able to identify who they are among those you know or even part of your close circle?
PRINCIPLES:
Are you on guard? Or do you get sucked in without realizing “you're discussing matters you don’t understand?”
APPLICATION:How are you doing at discerning friendships and who you spend time with? What will you change or do differently, especially as you enter school next year and are in classes with different group students? Who will you apply this to your life (a good application will tell who, what, and when)?
