    We are to love and live the truth.

    There is something about brevity that makes a message all that more emphatic. I was pacing up and down a hallway outside a delivery room on April 16, 1976. I was trying to be calm and collected, but I acted more like a caged lion. Suddenly a big door swung open and a gowned nurse was holding ...read more

    Sons of Diotrephes will arise among the churches. The people of God are responsible to recognise their presence and to expose their evil work.

    “I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who ...read more

    Joy is something deeper than happiness. And the apostle John speaks of having no greater joy when writing the letter that we know as Third John.

    Alba 11-3-2024 NO GREATER JOY III John 1-4 Have you ever been surprised by joy? Something happens when you least expect it, even in the midst of otherwise sad feelings or grief, and joy comes, at least for a moment?

    The Great Commision is the Lord's command. That is our task. In the first century until now, people have been working to accomplish that goal. And it is best done when done together. Giving support to undergird mission ministries is both an opportunity and a responsibility.

    The book of John is often neglected.

    Why? It could be because it is a small book. Illus: But we need to remember that “Dynamite” can come in small package. We know that size does not have anything to do with significance. John teaches many things in this third epistle for God’s church. Illus: Many of the movies that Hollywood ...read more

    Putting It All Together Series

    It's nonsense to build our lives on a lie, but people do it. God calls us to build on a foundation of truth.

    There is nothing quite so destructive as a lie. No one wants to be lied to. It is nothing short of betrayal. And no one wants to be lied about. It is an ugly and contemptuous act. The Bible traces our worst problems back to a lie. The serpent, remember, asked the woman whether it was true what he ...read more

    Be careful of the “Just Us Club!” Be careful of any ministry that is designed for “Just Us.” We must welcome the Christian stranger, not welcome weird doctrine but believers with genuine hospitality!

I hope to see you soon so we will talk face to face.” V3 – Walking in Truth (The Beloved Gaius - indeed you are walking in the truth) I want to talk to you Face to Face to tell you about my prayer that all is well with ...read more

    Where is our hospitality? Are we a Diotrephes or a Demetrius?

    In verses 1-8: • Letter gives important glimpse into early church • John is telling how he felt after hearing about Gaius. • Concerned for health and well-being • Romans 12:13, Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. • In early church days, traveling preachers/teachers were ...read more
