The opening verses of 1 John establish Jesus as eternal and divine, the Word of life who manifested to bring us into fellowship with God and each other. John, writing to counter false teachings, emphasizes that true Christian fellowship happens simultaneously with God and fellow believers. This authentic fellowship produces complete joy, a fruit of the Spirit that testifies to Jesus' work in our lives. By proclaiming the gospel, actively participating in community, and deepening our relationship with God, we experience the fullness of joy that comes from knowing the giver of life.

La Familia: The Framework for Parenting

Biblical parenting requires a delicate balance of nurturing spiritual growth while maintaining healthy boundaries. Parents are called to focus on spiritual formation over worldly success, avoiding actions that provoke children to anger while bringing them up in godly discipline. Children, in turn, are called to practice attentive obedience and honor their parents. This framework emphasizes Christ-centered parenting that prioritizes both spiritual and physical wellbeing, teaching biblical principles, and modeling Christ-like behavior, rather than focusing on personal comfort or needs.
