    Often people become so involved in good and ligitimate things that they allow themselve to be pulled away for what is really their first love. It is intended to help us be careful lest we like the Ephesian church leave our first love thus loose it.

    Christ's message to the Church in Ephesus speaks to churches today that are beginning to lose their ardour. His message is a clarion call to stir up the flames, to stoke the fire.

    “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands. “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil but have tested those who call ...read more

    Jesus commended the church in Ephesus for their commitment in the midst of opposition, but unfortunately, He had to address their lack of passion for Him. They were a busy church, but they had lost their zeal for the Lord.

    Ephesus: Labor without Love Revelation 2: 1-7 Today I want to begin a series in which we will examine the letters to seven individual churches that Jesus gave to John in the Revelation.

    Sometimes we should rejoice in the death of a church rather than mourn. After a long painful disease, we express relief when a person passes into Glory. Many churches suffer a slow and painful death. Out of that death life and renewal may come.

    Revelation 2:4  Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.  5  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except ...read more

    A humble desire for the Lord of all. Simple, pure, truthful, meek, lowly, humble. That’s what it takes. Maybe in the end that’s a gift from the Lord himself.
