Two churches with similar issues. Some in the church of Pergamum following the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans. The church of Thyatira allowing the teachings of Jezebel. God had a message for both, “Do not hold to the teachings of sexual immorality or idolatry.” The consequences were dire: tribulation, war, even death. Here’s what catches my attention:
God’s Word is a sharp sword dividing truth from deception. When we seek God in His Word through the leading of the Spirit it becomes living and active, helping us discern the intentions of our hearts. It is the only weapon of offense we have in our armor. So let’s continue to pick up our sword daily. Asking God to reveal Himself and His way, to show us where we’ve fallen into deception ourselves.
