When the World is on Fire - Biblical Commentary on the Book of II Peter

By D. Earl Cripe and Earl Cripe

D. Earl Cripe, Ph.D (1934-2011) held firmly to Historic Orthodox Christian Theology that the Bible is the only guide to the faith and practice of the Church. Towards that end during his more than forty-seven years of ministry he penned numerous volumes of expository Bible commentaries. In them he takes the reader verse-by-verse through the chosen book of the Bible, explaining the original meanings and intentions along with the applications to the life of the serious believer of Christ in simple language that anyone can grasp. They are essential reading for the serious Christian looking to further their understanding of the Holy Scriptures.
This volume is a verse-by-verse study of the Book of Second Peter. The Biblical title "the faith" derives from the fact that faith and not sight is the link between God and His children. The Apostle does not praise us for having obtained education, empirical data, rational philosophy or apologetic evidence; he commends us for having obtained "like precious faith." Because of our faith, grace and peace are multiplied to us by the Father. By faith and grace, we gain in the knowledge of Christ. That knowledge comes to us from the inspired Word of God through the "great and precious promises." When we know what the promises of God to us are, and when we, by faith, put them into practice by the power and person of the Holy Ghost, we are delivered from the pull and the snares of this world with its polluted thinking and behavior.
