S: 3 John 10 "So if I come, I will talk about what Diotrephes is doing, about how he lies and says evil things about us. But more than that, he refuses to accept the other brothers and sisters; he even stops those who do want to accept them and puts them out of the church."
O: John is telling the church that he will come to speak to them about Diotrephes not wanting new believers.
A: Is this how your church is? Are they just happy with the people that they have? I am going to say something dangerous right now: The church doesn't exist for Christians! Matthew 9:12 tells us that the church exists for the non-believers to be shown the way to Jesus! Christians are meant to go out and tell the world about Jesus. I know that that's not popular to say, but Jesus didn't say very man popular things. So go out and be a doctor!
P: Father, help me to understand that church isn't about me; it's about them!
