    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,043 views

    Nothing corrupts a church any quicker than worldliness. Pergamum was a corrupted church. It is a picture of a church that is married to the world.

    Would you agree that worldliness corrupts churches? There are 4 things that cause a church to become worldly. 1. The church begins to participate in worldly functions. 2. The church allows worldly activities to take place in the church and even in the homes of its members. 3. The church begins to ...read more

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on May 24, 2015
     | 5,976 views

    A congregation that is not actively benefitting and transforming the culture in which it finds itself, it is sickening to Jesus, the Head of the Church. Jesus condemns the Laodicean 'Health & Wealth Gospel' which is promoted by modern-day televangelists.

    Verse 14 – Jesus introduces Himself to the congregation at Laodicea by three titles: (1) “The Amen” which is a reminder that the Lord – by His death on the Cross – is the living confirmation of the New Covenant with its promises. 2 Corinthians 1:19-20, “For ...read more

    We are to learn to abound and abase. Be content yet still desire more.

    To be content is to have freedom from anxiety or worry, being satisfied. We should be a contented people, at peace with God, our neighbors and ourselves. We should feel we have enough and all we have is more than enough. This applies to worldly things, material things. 2 Samuel ...read more
