The book of 1 John reveals that true fellowship with God occurs in His light, where there is no darkness. This fellowship isn't something we create but what God extends to us. When we walk in the light, Christ's blood continuously cleanses us from sin—not a cycle of being saved and lost, but staying saved through ongoing relationship. Our attitudes toward sin matter: rebellion and impenitence break fellowship, while confession maintains it. True commitment means living in God's light, trusting in continuous cleansing, and approaching confession as intimate conversation rather than fearful transaction.JUN 29, 2025Committed: The Foundation of Our CommitmentMike Peters

From our earliest days, humans struggle with authority, yet we eagerly seek guidance when we trust the source. The early Christians devoted themselves to apostolic teaching because the apostles had credibility, relevancy, and accessibility. Specifically authorized by Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit, the apostles weren't seeking glory but serving as vessels for God's message. Their teachings remain authoritative on church participation, relationships, generosity, ethnic reconciliation, and loving enemies. Our loyalty to Jesus is expressed through listening to and living out these teachings with humility.JUN 22, 2025Loyalty To DoctrineMike Peters
