Perilous Times
New Beginnings
All Things Are Become New 2 Corinthians 5:16–21 PRAY The Restorer and The Restored 2 Corinthians 5:17 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Ever wondered if you can start over? There are times when we look at our lives and we wonder how it is that we got to where we are. Sometimes we would like to have another shot at life and are sure that we would…
TIMES OF DIVISION
The Perilous Times of the last days Church are Times of Division. When people hold to their own opinions as absolute, division will be the rule and not the exception.
LAODICEA The Democratic Church
The Final Church, the Church of Laodicea; best identified as the “Democratic Church”, the opinions of the people are its governing principle.
Perilous Times: PHILADELPHIA
Philadelphia, the sixth of the seven Churches of Revelation. The sixth period of Church history on the road to the present times.
SARDIS and The Seven Churches
The same Church that unlocked the Bible for the world, becomes the Church that hides it in obscurity. The reformation Churches are those that the Church of Sardis Represents, it has a name that it lives but is DEAD. These are the DEAD Churches today who have nothing to say of the times we live and nothing to add to the discussion. They try in vain to stand up against perversion, but they have taken away the foundation from which to stand. They have intellectualised the simple Gospel of Christ and have made the word of God of “none effect”. Rather than simply “believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved”, they created a flowery acronym to explain that which the Bible does not teach. While the Reformation Church “received and heard” that which was good, they have forgotten “how” they have “received and heard”. A few names stood well and continue to stand, most however have “defiled their garments”, and with the doctrines of Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gracia, which they have forgotten, “are ready to die”. God bless you.
The Seven Churches: THYATIRA
Thyatira, The Corrupt Church. WHAT IS YOUR PRICE? It is no surprise that both Geographically, Historically and Philosophically we move from the Compromising Church of PERGAMOS, to the Corrupt Church of Thyatira. How much of our faith in Christ needs to be COMPROMISED before it is corrupted?
What PRICE are we willing to accept to CORRUPT ourselves?
Is it even monetary?
Perhaps it is only to keep our jobs.
Perhaps it is only to be accepted by our peers.
WHAT IS YOUR PRICE?
The Seven Churches: PERGAMOS
PERGAMOS: The Compromising Church in history. The Compromising Church Period of history. The Compromising Church TYPE of history. The Compromising Christian in History.
The Seven Churches: Smyrna
The persecuted Church of Smyrna. Both an historical Church, but also a representative Church of a period in history when Christianity was persecuted, and also representative of persecuted Christians around the world.
An incredible passage of the Bible that tells us of the historical second phase of the development of Christianity until we come to this day.
The Seven Churches: Ephesus
The first Church Jesus addresses is the historical church of Ephesus. A church, strong in doctrine, but a church that had left its first love
Perilous Times Pt 4: Be Careful For Nothing
“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”
(Php 4:4–6)
