3 John 1:10
Prideful leadership produces destructive actions that must be confronted for the health of the church.
10 Therefore if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
Prideful leadership produces destructive actions that must be confronted for the health of the church.
To warn the church about the destructive conduct of Diotrephes and to affirm that such behavior will be confronted when the elder arrives.
Diotrephes appears to have used his influence to reject traveling believers, spread accusations against apostolic leaders, and expel those within the congregation who attempted to welcome gospel workers.
Walking in the Truth Through Faithful Hospitality
The truth of Christ must be walked, welcomed, defended, and embodied in humble fellowship rather than obstructed by prideful control.
