Walking: Staying on the Path

One of the greatest threats to Christianity is Christians who always want to be nice—never wanting to rock the boat or offend anyone. Jesus wasn't always nice. He was kind and compassionate, but He was not always nice. And the Apostle John was not always nice either. The nickname Jesus gave John and his brother James was "Sons of Thunder." John was not always nice, and we see that in 1 John. He is a kind, loving pastor, but what he has to say is sometimes uncomfortable, challenging, and convicting.
