Groupie – 2 Peter 2:17
2 Peter 2:17 These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.

2 Peter 2 Deeds of false teachers Key Verses: 3, 9, 12, 16, 19, 22 The motives of false teachers seem to always be the same. They want power, influence and money. They will stop at nothing to get it.

Day 219
2 Peter 1 Add virtue to faith Key Verses: 1, 3, 8, 13, not done 16, 20, 21 How do we become pleasing to God? Peter answers this in very plain language.
