Worldview Matters

First of all, "Thank You" Larry for delivering the postcard from III John.  As Larry mentioned last Sunday, when you send postcards from your travels, seldom do they arrive in the order in which you mailed them, and our series, Postcards with a Punch, is no different.  While we wait for the arrival of the "postcard" from II John, this Sunday, we will be reading from I John.  While I John may not technically qualify as a postcard letter, I think it's only appropriate that we complete John's trilogy of letters to the early church.

Join us this Sunday at 9:30am as we look at John's first epistle.  In addressing the early church, John presents a simple, uncomplicated worldview of right and wrong:  light versus darkness, truth verses falsehood, righteousness versus sin, love of God versus love of the world.  With clarity of perspective and singularity of purpose, John redraws lines that had begun to fade in the minds of his readers who were beginning to compromise and find themselves lost in the fog of moral and spiritual relativism.  While John's solid stand for the truth of the gospel might be viewed by some as unloving, this couldn't be further from the truth.  While John teaches on the importance of recognizing the lines between truth and error, he never forgets that truth must always be delivered in a spirit of love.

I want to encourage you to stay after the service and check-out one of our discipleship opportunities that meet every Sunday at 10:45am.  Below are the details for each:

Blessings.

Doug
