Read: 2 Peter 2 Big Idea: In chapter 2, Peter gives the profile for dangerous false teachers who infiltrate local churches. The general outline contains three characteristics: (a) unbridled promiscuity that secretly targets the most vulnerable among us. (b) a crafty ongoing plan to separate believers from their money supposedly in the name of the Lord (yet without biblical warrant). (c) cleverly disguised immaturity.
Key Verse(s):
2 Peter 2:14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.
