While on a Grand Canyon trip last year, I heard Dr. Andrew Snelling deliver a message based on 2 Peter. As a geologist, he described a basic uniformitarian mantra “The present is the key to the past.” He made the point that when people deliberately forget God’s word, it’s a spiritual issue, not a scientific issue.
As I read 2 Peter 1:12-21, verse 19 tells me that the key to today is the past! That is, God’s word written so long ago is a trustworthy source of light today. We only have to read the Word to understand the times we are living in.
You might consider using a flashlight as an object lesson at this point and liken it to God’s word. You’d have to turn off the lights in the room, and use the flashlight to illustrate how it can illuminate a dark place.
