    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
