The Word Infusion

How far will the devil go to keep a Christian from serving God?  The Apostle Paul experienced many things that the devil would attempt to keep him from doing the work of the Lord, but Paul never let it stop him.  He always found places to witness in those situations.  He trusted in his God who was bigger and smarter than anything the devil could bring against Paul, even unjust accusations in a court of law and time being held in prison.  No lawyer or accusers can stand up against God.

In this half of III John the Apostle John gives us a warning against pride.  He also warns us to be careful who we choose as leaders in the church.  He commends those who are well respected in the church.
