    There’s no perfect church. Jesus commends a faithful church—Philadelphia—for keeping His Word and not denying His name. The question for us: not “Are we perfect?” but “Are we faithful?”

And the reason is because no one is perfect, right? There’s no such thing as a ...read more

    If the Servant Church models itself after Jesus Christ who ultimately taught us what a servant is: then the Servant Church must love God, it must love the children of God, and it must keep His commandant to love.

    Jesus knows our suffering, calls us to courageous faithfulness amid trials, and promises eternal life to those who endure with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts that feel threadbare. Bills stack up. Doctors call back. Friends pull away.
