Chunks: The Letters of John

Good leaders inspire the respect and loyalty of others; bad leaders inspire fear instead. Though we know very little about Diotrephes, the way John describes him suggests that he was a poor leader who ruled through intimidation. We can give him the benefit of the doubt by allowing that he may simply not have known better—but he still makes a good case study in how not to use power as a Christian leader.
