    Response To The Truth Series

    Contributed by Ed Sasnett on Aug 25, 2015
     | 8,151 views

    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

    If Jesus is not in control of your church it is not a church. It is a religious club often managed by a Diotrephes.

    3 John 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, ...read more

    No to the Spirit Of Diotrephes (3 John 9-10) I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. 10 So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us.

    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 had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen & ink. 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

    If God had a Twitter account, what would he tweet? The Bible contains five short, one-chapter books. In the fourth, 3 John, we are introduced to three types of people you might meet at church: a joy, a jerk, and a jewel.

    Tweets from God: 3 John Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 6/5/2016 A few weeks ago I began a series I’m calling Tweets from God. What we’re doing is going through the five shortest books of the Bible. Each of these books is a single chapter and can be read in less than three ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From (3 John)

     | 1,613 views

    Again, I want to bring to your attention the fact that second and third John are very small books,

    but to say they were insignificant would be like saying a person who is short is not significant. We know that size does not have anything to do with significance. However, there is a contrast between second and third John. For example, Remember, we mentioned in the previous message that some ...read more

    God has poured immeasurable grace on his church. This grace should not be abused by church leaders. Pride in the house of God has led many to pervert the grace of God. God is not pleased.

    February 26, 2022 Today we are combining 2nd and 3rd JOHN and JUDE.

    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.
