Is it hot?
Let’s start out with the obvious…tonight Rhythm got a little heated. Both the spiritual level and the temperature level were at a somewhat uncomfortable place for many of us. I have to admit that when I showed up to set up tonight, I was ready to call it on account of the heat. But nonetheless, 145 people braved the temperate conditions to hear the word of God preached. Little did we know it was gonna heat up even more.
In talking about the church in Pergamum, we see that God is calling us to be something different. At times we all fall into the traps and the world has a hard time differentiating those who love God from those who could care less because we justify our actions and behaviors sometimes even associating them with a gallant cause. It’s hard to stay committed many times when the world around you seems to be going the opposite way, but blending in is not what God has called us to. He says to those who run the race and stand firm, He will give them the white stone, the stone that says by His grace and mercy ALONE, we are acquitted of all of the charges against us.
My prayer this week is for all of those that are finding it somewhat difficult to be a Christian today, that they would be lifted up and know that struggles were promised to us, but if we continue to live faithful to the cause of Jesus Christ, set apart for Him and Him alone, we will find abundant joy and grace and the white stone that says we are free because the price has already been paid.
Blessings,
Brandon
