"I'll never grow up." Sometimes we all feel a little like Peter Pan. We'd rather be children, free of obligations and responsibilities. Sometimes we even feel that way about our Christian lives. The writers of 1 and 2 Peter and Jude understand how difficult it is to grow into maturity. But they show us how God provides direction and comfort when we travel dark roads, and they show us what it takes to be mature in Christ.
