This letter to the church in Philadelphia reinforces that the the christian life is individual!

Whether anyone else wants to stay true to the Word and Jesus is their choice. God says IF we, individually, stand He will make a pillar in His kingdom!

What ever happened to brotherly love? That is what philadelphia means---brotherly love. God is love and when you erode the very foundation of society or a church you get the mess we have today!

One thing is absolutely sure. Once we either die or are raptured we will see Jesus face to fact and we will give an account for not only what we have done with our ives BUT what we could have done. People with needs are all around us and the greatest joy is helping us. Giving of ourselfs the help lift their burdens.

A special program as a result of the calls I've received over the past two days!

Satan knows if he can get our faith and our joy he can sap our strength---the best way to combat that is to be thankful!

We are saved individually---we are called individually and we will someday face Him individually!

Most believe this is the age after the Reformation. Sadly this church was once very alive but Jesus said, "You are dead." Why ? What caused this and what does He say the reminent must do?

I am constantly asked the "When, How's and what's" of our modern day wickedness. I firmly believe, on God's authority. that you can go back in time to a point when we were a basically moral nation! Go with me today on this journey and be prepared! Jesus is going to pinpoint a time and event that has had much to do with many churches downfall.

Today we will look at what Jesus himself says about this tolerant church and a movement that has great attributed to the moral decay of our societies!

In our study of Revelation we must always remember that this is Jesus Himself speaking through John and as He is writing to the seven churches He tells them each what He likes and dislikes about them. Today we begin a look at the church of Thyatire---the tolerant church---which was tolerating something that He says will be their demise and actually kill their chikdren if they do not repent and turn from this wickedness.
