Yuck: The Lukewarm Church Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 7, 2018

Christ delivers a message to those who are Christian in name only. Being neither zealous for good works nor orthodox in their doctrine, they are lukewarm and sickening to Christ.

George Barna makes a living through surveys. What makes him unique is that his surveys are on exclusively Christian topics. Although he does poll populations at large, he also does polling on those who profess to be Christian. For millennia, there have been standard benchmarks of orthodoxy. Yet, as ...read more

Christ Alone Should Be Sufficient

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 29, 2021

Churches also can look good on the outside, but when you “taste” what they're doing, you find it's only a facade. That was the case with the church in Laodicea.

How many Coca-Cola drinkers do we have here today? How many Pepsi drinkers? How many of you like Dr Pepper? How many of you like Mr Pibb?

The Letter To Laodicea

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 7, 2021

Jesus is waiting at the door. The door is symbolic of your heart. Are you going to let him come in? The choice is yours because God gave us free will.

The Letter to Laodicea Revelation 3:14-22 Michael H. Koplitz This letter to the church at Laodicea is the most negative of the seven letters. Jesus tells us that He doesn’t like lukewarm followers.

The Historical Fate Of The Seven Churches In The Book Of Revelation

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 26, 2021

There are many good studies and observations about the seven churches from a spiritual perspective that can be applied to churches today. However, this study will not address them, but rather review the actual history of the churches and where they are today (2025).

In the Book of Revelation, Jesus sent a message to seven churches that were located in the western part of Asia Minor, directly south of the Black Sea (Modern day Turkey). The word "church" is translated from the Greek word "ekklesia" which means the people of God, the whole ...read more

To The Church Of The Namby Pamby

Contributed by Jeremy Long on Jul 19, 2025

If John could have seen the Church today when writing the Revelation, I think he wouldn't have been quite so biblically polite in the Letter he would send to it.

To the Church of the Namby-Pamby I’ve been somewhat bothered with something lately and can’t seem to get it off of my mind. A feeling that God is pushing us to get things sorted quickly because His return is VERY SOON. Anyone else felt this? Felt the urgency of the church’s mission? Felt like ...read more

The Deceived Church (Church Of Laodicea)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 25, 2025

Some good Bible teachers have spiritualized these letters to the seven churches and made each local congregation represent a particular era of church history.

For example, according to their view… • The first church on the list is the Ephesian church would represent the time when the apostles were alive and ...read more

7 The Inviting Overcomer Series

Contributed by Kent Kessler on Jun 7, 2025

With these seven churches, Jesus has made it clear: Make NO mistake, JUDGMENT IS coming. But when you read through this Revelation from John and judgment is poured out, no one repents, no one turns back to God. And yet, God continues to reach out and invite all people, anyone, saying, “Come.”

Every church has its own spirit-- its own angel-- who is responsible for that church. And some angels, and some churches, ...read more
