The measure

After I John 4:1-6

The measure of the spirt

is not the number of likes

or followers. It’s not the number

pf shares or retweets. It’s not

fame or celebrity or endorsements

or glowing news stories or

demand for speeches and articles

or how many people show up

at meetings or at church.

It’s not any of these.

It never is.

It never was.

It never will be.

Instead, the measure is

the spirit of the one

who is true.
