If you want a rush sermon, ask someone who's unemployed! That seems to be the motto at my church.
So now I have a week to prepare for an hour-long in-depth study of 1 John 2 for our Monday Bible study group. All of it.
OK, in one week I can talk for one hour on 1 John 2. But will the people go away illuminated? I doubt it. The truth is, I've never understood Johannine writing. It's too cryptic and mystical, too simplistic and complex. It's a load of froth and bubble, yet it's too deep and serious to grasp.
'sall about love. That's it. That's all there is to know and it's all you need to know.
