Diotrpehes was a dangerous man in the Church of God who did much damage during the apostle John’s time. Throughout all generations across the nations we have the spirit of Diotrephes working effectively. Today, there are many such people in the pulpits and the pews in Christedom. It is urgently needed to examine our own hearts and those who occupy positions in the church to see if there is anyone like that. May the Lord bring such people to repentance or remove them from harming the Church. Amen. SDG.
