All of us at one time or the other have had those annoying guys in white shirts and black ties ride up on their bicycles and knock on our doors in hopes of sharing with us their warped Gospel of Jesus Christ. So what do we do? A lot of people invite them into their homes in hopes of enlightening them to the Truth. But John in today’s text is going to tell us to not let them into our […]

In today’s text, John is going to paint a rather strange picture of the secular world as lying in the arms of the devil being rocked asleep. As Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:4, “the god of this world has blinded their minds” so that they don’t even realize that they are resting on the edge of the abyss. As believers, we can’t end up in hell, but we can allow ourselves to be rocked asleep by the idols of […]

John gives us this amazing promise in today’s text that “whatever we ask of God, we already know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t always get what I ask of God. But the problem isn’t with God’s promise, it is with me–There are conditions for getting prayers answered that I don’t always meet. We will examine those conditions in today’s study so that we can be […]

There have been all sorts of surveys taken over the last few years to determine how many Americans still claim to be “born again.” The results range from 20-40% of Americans who identify themselves as “born again” Christians. The reason there is such a wide range in the results is that there is so much confusion among so-called Christians about what it truly means to be “born again.” That’s why 1 John is such an important book, because in this […]

One of the lines in John Newton’s great hymn Amazing Grace, goes like this: T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear and Grace my fears relieved!” Newton was so right when he penned those words, because it is by God’s grace that we come to a point where we realize that His standard for those who will enter His heaven is perfection, and we don’t meet that standard, so it causes us to fear. But then grace relieves our […]

Jerome once said that whenever John addressed a congregation he always closed by saying, “Little children, love one another.” When someone asked him why that was always the way he ended his messages, John responded by saying, “Because it’s the Lord’s commandment, and this only, if it is done, is enough!” It’s almost as if John was echoing the title of the Beatle’s hit song from the 60’s: All You Need Is Love. But as we will see in our […]

A while back the following ad appeared in the local paper for a Flagstaff evangelical church: “Have you ever wanted more out of life? We can help! Join us for our new series that will help you discover how you can get everything you want in life. Whether you desire love, health, or money, we can show you how to get it.” That ad was for a series that obviously was not biblically based. But it was a series that […]

In today’s lesson we will be exploring the idea of just what it means to love others with agape love. Actually, the use of the Greek word agape is pretty much restricted to the writings of the Christian church. And that makes a lot of sense, because the word draws its meaning from the revelation of God in the cross of Jesus Christ. As we will see today, agape love is not the sloppy agape of “the bleeding- heart liberals.” […]

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
