The three disordered loves of 1 John are ours too: “lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life” (1 John 2:16). The insatiable nature of undisciplined desire disorders the relationships of men and women in the workplace and of husbands and wives in the home. John instructs us to discern disordered love in the church and to rediscover our first love all over again.
