Monday 3 John 7 For they are traveling for You, Lord, and accept nothing from those who are not Christians. Tuesday 3 John 8 So I myself should support them so that I may become partners with them for the truth. Wednesday 3 John 9 Diotrephes loves to be the leader and does not acknowledge my authority. Thursday 3 John 10 I report some of the things he is doing and the wicked things he is saying about me. He not only refuses to welcome the traveling teachers, he also tells others not to help them. And when they do help, he puts them out of the church. Friday 3 John 11 I don’t let this bad example influence me. I follow only what is good. I remember that those who do good prove that they are Your children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know You, God. Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers 4771.
