STIR YOU UP

2 Peter 1:11-13  For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting [agelasting] kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  12  Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.  13  Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

TRADITION

A LIVING HOPE
