I’ve heard it said that each of the churches in Revelation not only represent literal churches in history, but they can also represent different types of churches in the world, different types of Christians, & different ages of the church throughout history!
If this is true, I believe we are living in the last age, the age of the church at Laodicea!
The church at Laodicea, much like the church today was focused on their wealth, and had become worldly. They were described as lukewarm, and it was detestable to LORD!

Conformity!
The people of God are meant to be a peculiar people! We are meant to stand out in stark contrast to a world filled with evil! A world filled with those who seek to please their fleshly desires!

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

A Horrible Thing!
We are living in times of great deception! So many who call themselves men and women of God are walking in complete opposition and disobedience to His Word!
Instead of warning of the consequences of sin, they are celebrating the ones leading the way down the wide path to judgment, destruction, and, eternal damnation in hell!

Does The LORD Hear My Cry?
When we find ourselves in the depths of worry, sickness, fear, or despair, the LORD does hear our cry, unless we are walking in rebellion to His Word!

When Moses had been on the mountain with the LORD for some time, the people grew impatient. They wanted something they could see with their eyes to save them!

We should also remember the sacrifice of the parents, spouses, children, extended family and friends of these men and women!

Do You Rejoice In Unrighteousness?
Do you mourn over sin? Does it grieve your heart to see how wicked not only the world is, but those that say they are the people of God? What about sin in your own life? Have you become apathetic to sin?
Sin in the our Country and world today is not grieved, or deplored! It’s not even just tolerated — It is celebrated!
Instead of mourning sin, our society mourns those who mourn sin!

Loyalty!
Do the eyes of the LORD stop on me when He searches throughout the earth looking for loyalty to Him?
When He looks into my heart and my life does He see loyalty to a person, or a cause, or loyalty to Him?
The Word tells us that the LORD is searching the earth looking for those whose hearts are loyal to Him!

A Day Of Mourning!
No matter who wins the election today, for me November 5, 2024 will be a day of mourning!
I won’t mourn over which candidate wins, because I know more than ever that it is the LORD who will place the person He desires into office!
I will mourn that both candidates condone the murder of unborn children through abortion!
I will mourn that both candidates support homosexual marriage, and making it possible for homosexuals to do what they can’t do naturally — bring babies into this world through IVF!

Hear The Word Of The LORD!
Our Country, our world, and the people who say they belong to the LORD, are no different from the people the LORD rebuked and warned through His prophet Isaiah!

A Deal With the Devil?
What will a person give in order to be successful in this world, or in the eyes of this world? What will a person do in order to have wealth, power, and fame?
Matthew 16:25-26
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Where are those who weep over their sin and wickedness, and the sins and wickedness of the world?
