Haggai, 2 John, 3 John, Psalm 125-127

The book of the prophet Haggai addresses the people of Judah who returned from exile and who had prioritized making their homes comfortable while neglecting to rebuild the Lord\u2019s temple. The letter known as 2 John is addressed to \u201cthe elect lady and her children\u201d which is most likely a reference to the church body to whom he was writing. In it, he encourages the church to continue in love and to reject false teaching. In 3 John, the apostle commends his friend Gaius, who is likely a pastor, and writes to warn him about Diotrophes who loves attention, power, divisive speech, and who probably already had a twitter account so he could trash other people all day. In the letter from Jude, we see a saint who zealously defends the faith against false teaching and practice.
