Fasting

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 25, 2013

Pergamos: The Church That Married The World (Revelation 2:12-17)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 19, 2023

The church located at Pergamos wanted to "have it both ways". They were doctrinally pure, but at the same time were slipping into compromise with the world. They were trying to "falter between two opinions" (1 Kings 18:21). It didn't work then, and it doesn't work now.

The city of Pergamos, the next stop in our look at the seven churches of Revelation 2 and 3, was the capital city of Asia Minor (present day Turkey). The city was known for its political power, intellectual achievements, and, like the other cities, a hub of pagan worship. It was also a wealthy ...read more
