One of the great snares in church life is being content to just have a “successful” and active, busy, seemingly happy church, and not being focused on making every man, woman, young person and child an ever more devoted disciple of Jesus.

John experienced an intimacy and closeness with the Lord Jesus that all of my readers probably long for. And one of the reasons he did is because when he blew it, he received Jesus’s correction, he learned from his mistakes, and he embraced everything Jesus ever taught him.
