We struggle with the same conflict John wrote of in his first letter: the battle between truth and error, between orthodoxy and heresy.

John is urging his readers to think and plan ahead: to realize that the Lord's return is an inescapable reality which we can face with assurance, not shame.

All anger is not bad...and all conflicts are not wrong. But disagreements need to be expressed appropriately and at the right time.

If you’d like freedom from stress and anxiety, learn how to rest. Take time to slow down. You can find peace in spite of panic.

The Apostle John's first-century command to "test the spirits" is also the biblical antidote to today's proliferation of religious error.
