In the book of Revelation chapters 2-3 ,we have 7 churches who our Lord speaks to ,they are Ephesus the loveless church, Smyrny the persecuted church, Pergamum they tolerated wrong teaching ,Thyatira the tempted church .Sardis the dead church, Philadelphia a weak but faithful church, Laodicea a disobedient Church.William Hendriksen points out' that the church is in the world. That was true then . It is still true today. The Church should shine in the midst of darkness.' Yes nothing Changes ,there will always be, loveless churches,persecuted churches,Churches tempted in the area of sexuality,Churches that WH writes of very being a'' peaceful '' church,but it was the peace of the cemetery' Thankfully there will be faithful churches, there will also be Churches that are down right disobedient. Let us be in prayer continually for the church of Christ,that they walk in the light.
