Regarding 3 John, how do I apply this to myself?:
I have been following Jesus for eighteen years, and the easy thing to do is contemplate how crummy churches are and how few people seem to really take the teachings of Jesus seriously. The easy thing to do continued is get upset when some ministers even distort the teachings of Jesus.
The hard thing to do is to do good yourself. I praise Jesus, the One who has enabled me to do good. Just today, I got to do three things that were good. Two of the three things may have really helped someone! God is good. I rely on Him to do good.
Regarding 3 John, how do I apply this to my community?:
Plenty in the community may think that "Christians" are fools, but most people notice when someone does something good. And goodness might be even more appreciated by certain people if they are willing to get to know you better.
