SOME

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 2 John 1:4 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. O-bservation: It is assumed that John the Apostle wrote this letter to the Church as a whole at that time. It is also believed that the "lady" he addressed the letter to in verse 1 is a metaphor for the Church. John was thankful that "SOME" of the people in that day were following Jesus.

Keep On Loving … SERIOUSLY

S. O. A. P Here's your 90 second AM devotional! S-cripture: 2 John 1:6 And this is love; that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. O-bservation: John the Apostle, John the Beloved, and John the Evangelist are most likely one and the same. And whatever title you want to give him, he wrote this short letter to an unnamed woman. Whoever this lady was, she happened to be a church leader and John reminded her that the true mark of Christianity is LOVE. Love is the motivation for our...
