    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 8

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 30, 2020
     | 1,370 views

    John didn't want his readers to willingly fall short of God's holy standard. If you are a true believer you will not want to sin. Having a desire not to sin is one of the proofs you are a believer.

    Review The Gnostics said they had no sin, blaming their sinful acts on their body. John was setting the record straight for his readers. The bad new John tells us is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin and cleanse us ...read more

    I don’t know exactly when … it was about four or five years ago … I came across an interesting documentary while I was surfing the web. I wish I had written the title down … I probably did and lost it. Anyways, I don’t remember the title but I do remember the documentary. It was a fascinating ...read more

    For some people today tolerance is the only real virtue and intolerance the only vice. The message to Thyatira goes against the grain of modernity by setting limits to tolerance.
