So don’t be surprised, dear brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. —1 John 3:13 ɴʟᴛ
What is the apostle John referring to as “the world”?
It is the pursuit of all things that in the end pass away. It includes the things man values but God doesn’t. The world doesn’t love what God loves, and the world doesn’t do things the way God does.
I experienced this contrast in a tournament when my last putt rattled to the bottom of the hole, securing my win.

I have been working at Harvest House for 13 years in August. As the Accountant at HH, I produce reporting as well as the monthly financial statements for the company. My favorite thing about working at HH is the sense of family here. There are times of joy, times of sorrow, as well as, times of chaos, which are all things we as individuals deal with in our own immediate families. The people I work with here are one of the other things I enjoy about HH. This company is full of compassionate, caring, and understanding individuals which today is sometimes hard to come by in the working world. Harvest House is an enjoyable place to be each day. People might be surprised to know that I have known my husband since grade school. We attended the same grade school, he then moved around with his family while his father worked, and came back to attend part of middle school and all of high school here in Eugene. We began our relationship in 2001 and we have now been married 10 years this August and have 3 wonderful children.
