Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Evangelist Scott Pauli.

Today we are on a journey through Scripture.

We hope you'll join us as we make 66 stops through each book of the Word of God.

Not long ago, I spoke in a men's conference. It was a wonderful meeting, several hundred men.

We had a great time together, a fellowship, great time in God's word. But every message that I brought to them in that men's conference, I brought to them from the little book of Third John.

And it's the shortest

book the shortest book in the New Testament it only has 299 words if you have your

Bible open you'll notice that it's only 14 verses long and yet it is packed full of

truth and it's packed full of truth that I think is especially pertinent to men and

now stay with me for just a moment because there are many ladies listening

right now you remember that second John was written to a lady and her children

well now third John is written to a man by the name of Gaius and to those that

he's leading and influencing and I want to point out to you that these two

brief letters share a common theme. And I want to say to you that truth does not vary from

men to women, from person to person, because truth is truth. It's rooted in an unchanging God.

The only thing that's different is the

application of that truth and so I love to read and study second John alongside

third John the reason I believe third John has so much to say to men is that there

are three main characters in third John and they're all men and they all have a message for us now

john once again identified as as the elder is the one writing third john verse one says the elder

under the well-beloved gaius whom i love in the truth and then he says this beloved i wish above

all things that thou may as prosper and be in health even as as thy soul prospereth. That's quite a prayer. That's not a health and wealth gospel.
