Gospel Wednesday: 3 John Chapter 1

3 John Chapter 1

The Elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth:Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. - 3 John 1:1-4 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=3John1:1-4&version=NKJV
May we all pray for our brethren and walk in truth daily. 
Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers,who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well,because they went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth. - 3 John 1:5-8 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=3John1:5-8&version=NKJV
This passage should encourage us to be kind and to love others. 

I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.Demetrius has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true. - 3 John 1:9-12 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=3John1:9-12&version=NKJV
Don't let pride enter our hearts, but have a humble spirit. Imitate good, not evil. 

I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name. - 3 John 1:13-14 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=3John1:13-14&version=NKJV
Pray our brethren have peace in their lives.

Gospel Wednesday: Romans Chapter 10: Confess Him

Image
Romans Chapter 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
