2 Peter 2:2

2 Peter 2:2 "Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be maligned."  My KEY PRAYER POINT from this chapter was don't let us malign the way of truth.  Ezekiel 36:20-21 serve as a cross-reference, "When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, 'These are the people of the LORD; yet they have come out of His land.  But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went."  The word profaned is used in vv. 22-23 as well.
