  In our study through the book of Second John, we have been learning that John the apostle is emphasizing the truth. He has been commanded by God to share the truth with the “elect lady”, and we are the benefactors of his writings to her. We have learned of God's grace, mercy and peace that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ, and that avenues other than through belief in Jesus Christ are in error. In today's verse found in Second John and verse five, we shall discover John'... Read More

  What is it about our nature that resists being told what to do? Sovereignty dictates autonomy, however ignorance manifests disaster. Yet, we still have a bent toward doing whatever we would like to do rather than have someone else tell us how we must be. But what if we are commanded by God? Are we still as resistant to one who is superior in knowledge and wisdom? Do we have trouble relying upon perfection when it comes to knowing what is best? Today John the apostle continues his thoughts... Read More

  There are so many sorrows in the world today. Parents often watch their children involve themselves in activities that they never thought they would. Some are so saddened by the way their children talk, relate and the places they go. As we look at today's verse found in Second John, we can almost hear the joy in his voice that there are children who rather than get themselves in trouble, they walk in truth. John says in verse four:
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children wa... Read More

  Gifts are wonderful to receive and many times just as pleasurable to give. However, the manner in which gifts are given can have greater significance than the gift itself. If someone gives us a gift begrudgingly and with and aggravated attitude, the reliability of their sincerity might be in question. When someone gives us a gift with joy and love and their only intention is our pleasure, the measure in which they give the gift it is often remembered far beyond the gift itself. John the a...

  When it comes to truth and error, there is as much need to determine which is which today as there was in the time of the disciples. People everywhere were espousing this as being fact or that as being fact, and when Jesus came on the scene there was another way of thought that was introduced. John the apostle is well aware that for every truth there is a counterfeit, and as we study together through the book of Second John, we shall be drawn to what he has to say about truth. He declared... Read More

  Just what is the truth? People usually define it by what they perceive truth to be, and only sometimes later find out what they thought was truth, was not. It's not a lot different today than it was in the days when the Bible was written. The church was in its beginning, and there were itinerant prophets who would go from city to city sharing “truth” with congregations. There was one problem, some of these prophets who “heard a word from the Lord” were false prophets. How were the... Read More

John has given us a charge to love one another and how to be overcomers in the world. Now J... Read More

  They stood over his bed watching as one by one each breath was more and more difficult to take. With a rising chest and a gargling noise in his throat, it seemed as if life just hung on and hung on. When would he take his last? When would be the final moment when the disease would win? When would his pain be over and his body finally be at rest? And then, the ultimate question, will he continue to live? Is there life eternal, and if there is, how do we know it? John the apostle has been h... Read More

  There are so many offerings for religion available today. Some say this one, and some say that one. Some declare this way, and others declare that way. How are we to know? Is it a feeling, a revelation or vision? Is it some book or group of ideas that make logical sense? As we close in on John the apostle's final two verses in his book named First John, John makes it very clear how we can know that we have the true God and who that God is. He wrote in chapter five and verse twenty:
