In Peter’s final words (⁠2 Peter 3⁠), he brings us a warning and the truth of what is to come. In the midst of that is God’s judgment, but also His patience and love. God is eager for our salvation. The chapter, the epistle, and Peter’s words close with encouragement regarding how we are to live at peace, holy and distinctly different from the world, in this time before Jesus’ return.

Pastor Donnie Johnson uses the story in Isaiah 36 and 37 as an example of what Christians should do when faced with scary situations, whether real or imagined, that cause anxiety and worry. In that passage, King Hezekiah was faced with a very real existential threat when Jerusalem was surrounded by the threat and might of the Assyrian Army, bent on destroying the King and his capital city. How did the king respond? And what did the Lord do for Hezekiah?

The word "mindset" doesn't appear in Scripture, but it does appear flipped around as the phrase "set your mind," and is very important, according to Pastor Donnie Johnson in part 2 of his teaching series, "Love God with All Your Mind." For example, the way that you think about God, yourself and the world affects your prayer life greatly, and other essential elements of the Christian life.
