Peter continues to paint a dark & negative backdrop labeling false teachers as “brute beasts” with savage appetites so the church is NOT carried away by being naïve! The big idea is recognizing the marks of a false teacher so we can Avoid Being Derailed in the Faith. Heads up Church, these “false teachers” are found in BOTH the pulpit & the pew alike!!!

Be Faithful In The Day Of Apostasy

Peter was death-bed writing to warn believers of the coming flood of error that would sweep over the church!
