From Jesus

October 2, 2018

DAILY READING

1 John 2:18-25
This weekend’s reading: Genesis 27:1-29

FIELD NOTES

There is a lot of anti-Christ talk out there these days.  When people tell you that a certain group of people are worth less than others, that is anti-Christ. When they demonize those who believe differently, that is anti-Christ. When people speak out of hate, rather than love, that is anti-Christ. 
 
Beware those who do those things. We know the truth. We know Jesus. Cling to his words. Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. 
 
Heed the warning of John here. 

QUESTIONS FROM THE FIELD

  • What kind of anti-Christ teachings do I find in the world these days?
  • What do I do that might be anti-Christ?

FAMILY FIELD TALK

  • How do we know something is from Jesus or not?

PRAYER

Lord, you are ever-present in our lives. May we always remember that. May we always live as we should—as beacons of light in the darkness, loving each person as ourselves. Amen.
