Has Christianity been rejected by many based on a caricature which has been mistaken for the real thing? Perhaps! Yet, John calls us back home, to our foundation, to the fundamental matters of our faith. God uses John to help the church repair that which is broken, to correct the twisted ...read more

You know you are in the light if you do not harbor hatred against anyone. 1 John 2:9 says, “He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.” Hatred is a poisonous heart condition that makes us treat others as enemies.
