Know How To Grow; Know How To Know

If you have ever spent significant time  around children you’ve probably, at one time or another, been caught in  the time-stopping vortex of unrelenting questions: Why? Why? How? What? Why? When? Oh, and Why? While this dizzying spiral can be overwhelming, it can simultaneously  serve as a wonderful indicator of a developing young mind and a curious  spirit. In the first half of the opening chapter of Second Peter, the  Apostle called for his audience to move from spiritual childhood to  spiritual maturity by pointing out that God has provided the resources  to use, has prescribed the route to take, and has promised the results  to anticipate should they comply. Arriving now at the second half of  that same chapter, we find Peter anticipating some follow-up questions  from these growing-but-still-immature spiritual infants, inquiries the  Apostle sets out to preemptively address.
