Revelation 2:12-17 THE CHURCH THAT MARRIED THE WORLD

There is the danger that we might hold the right doctrines, but still drift into compromise with the world around us.  Let me remind you that these letters can be viewed three different ways. Practically – These are real letters to real churches living in a real world.  Prophetically – These letters picture the church during different eras of history.  This particular church symbolizes the church as it existed during the years 313-590 AD, when the church married the world. Personally – There is a word here for our church and for the individuals in our church today. With these thoughts in mind, let’s turn our attention to the Lord’s words to the church in Pergamos.  Jesus comes to them with a word from God.  Notice the kinds of words He speaks as I preach in the subject: The Church That Married The World.
