    Are you passing on what you have seen and heard to others?

    PASS IT ON I love church picnics. They remind me of going to camp as a kid. One of the things I loved about camp was the chapel services. There is an old song that we used to sing.

    Peter here is speaking of the Old Testament, which is the Word of God, even more sure than his personal experience. This is saying that the Word of God is the only true light which alone can dispel the spirituel darkness.

    A Surer Word Of Prophecy 2 Peter 1:16-21 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to ...read more

    The Gospel writers did not collect hearsay, but put together eyewitness accounts.

    Eyewitness Of Majesty (2 Peter 1:16-18) 1. Christianity is a personable faith. It is based on human eye-witness accounts and records. Christianity is God reaching down to man. Our relationship to God is a personal one, if we really know Jesus Christ. Other religions advocate man taking the ...read more
