Chunks: The Letters of John

As we’ve seen throughout John’s letters, the apostle often has some very direct and harsh things to say. If we’ve been taught to only say nice things, his words may make us uncomfortable; is the “apostle of love” supposed to say stuff like that? It’s good and right for us to be careful and kind with our words. But as we’ll explore in this episode, we also need to remember that love is not the same as niceness, and that sometimes the truth isn’t nice.
