Stand Firm Against False Witnesses of the Word: Contend for the Faith

The Personal Choice of Every Believer: Let Your Light Shine or Follow Darkness
Ask God: John tells us to live a life of services to God and man. He uses Gaius and Demetrius as example to show hospitality and truth. John then points out Diotrephes as a self-center man who lives his life with his ego in control. His ego wants to control those around him which places him at the center of attention.

God's Patience Has Limits
