Top Highlights
“We are defined by what we reject as much as by what we accept. In this, some are so open minded that they are empty headed. It is wise to keep an open mind on many things; but one would never keep an open mind about which poisons a person might try. You may say yes to all the right things; but one must also say no to what is false and evil. We need to become good at rejecting what should be rejected.” (2 John 10–11)
“beyond a boundary.’ We never go ‘beyond’ the teaching of Jesus, of who He is and what He has done for us” (2 John 7–9)
