LIVING RIGHT IN A WRONG WORLD, CD series

On the speck of an island in the south Aegean Sea, an old man sat down, possibly at a rough-hewed table, and began writing a letter to his “little children” in the faith. This was remarkable because John would have never traveled much further than the region in which he grew up and worked, around the Sea of Galilee, if it wasn’t for the man who changed his life—Jesus. John had spent three years in intimate fellowship with Jesus. He saw Jesus die and was a witness to the risen Lord. He left the fishing business and became a fisher of men in Judea and then in Ephesus. He suffered for the faith he preached, as tradition has it, by being boiled alive in a cauldron of oil—but the oil didn’t affect him! Eventually, John was exiled to the tiny island of Patmos where he sat as an old man and wrote his first letter to his “beloved” children.

The letter of 1 John is a simple yet profound letter of Christian doctrine put into practice in everyday life. This is not a letter of theory but of practical guidance for the believer who wants to live right in a world gone wrong. Chuck Swindoll looks beyond the simple language of 1 John and reveals the profound truths that were critical for the Christian life in the first century and remain just as important today. You’ll discover that the truths in John’s letter prove, once again, that Living Right in a Wrong World is the only way to live.
