I’m sure most of you have heard the question popularized by Boston Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez back in the 90’s: “Who’s your daddy?” It’s a way of bragging about being better than someone else you exercise dominance over. John all but asks us the same question in our text today and then gives us two possible answers: The Lord or the devil. Everyone has “either or” as their daddy. All of us I’m sure when asked this question will […]

The apocalypse of Jesus Christ is a scary prospect for most people, because it spells doom for the unbeliever. But for the believer, the apocalypse-the revelation of the Lord-is our great hope. Because as John will tell us in today’s text, “when He appears, we will have confidence and not be ashamed at His coming…because when He appears, we will be like Him. We will be “lookin good, really good!” George

Most of you have heard the song from Disney’s 1933 cartoon The Three Little Pigs as the pigs sang, “Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf, the big bad wolf.” Of course, we don’t have to worry about a fictional character like the big, bad wolf, but there are some “big, bad boogie men” in the Bible that we do need to be weary of. There’s the devil, his demons, the antichrist, and as John will tell us in today’s […]

And John will warn us in […]

Ram Singh once wrote, “People make mistakes. It’s all part of growing up, and you never really stop growing.” I don’t know that I agree with that statement—especially on a spiritual level– because some people remain stagnant their whole lives, because they don’t learn from their mistakes; they just keep repeating them. In today’s text, John is going to give us a growth chart that will allow us to measure just how far we have come spiritually since we received […]

The Peanuts character Linus once quipped, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!” It’s easy to run around talking about how we love other people, but truly showing love to one another on an individual basis is much more difficult, especially with those we don’t like. In today’s text, John gives us a litmus test for salvation. How do we know if we are saved? If we love one another-especially those people we aren’t so fond of. He will […]
