The theme of 2nd Peter is the great need for personal spiritual growth in a time when false teachers and teachings were infiltrating the early church (2Pe 1:5 with 2Pe 3:18). Key words/phrases relevant to spiritual growth are “grace and peace,” which can be “multiplied” as we grow in the “knowledge” of our Lord, and exercise due “diligence” in the practice of spiritual “love.” As a method of instruction, Peter emphasizes the necessity of reminder and repetition (2Pe 1:12-13, 2Pe 1:15, 2Pe 3:1-2).

From Series: "Being Strong Leaders in a Troubled World -- IOWA 2016"
Prairie View Christian Church hosted the IOWA Bible Conference on September 9-11 2016. The theme was 'Being Strong Leaders in a Troubled World.' Joshua 24:15 says 'And if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which where beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house we will serve the LORD.'
