This morning the theme I was given was "the things that remain". OK. I better look it up and see where that common phrase comes from.
Well, it comes from Revelations 3.
1“To the
angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the One who holds
the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a
reputation for being alive, yet you are dead. 2 Wake
up and strengthen what remains, which was
about to
die; for I
have found your deeds incomplete in
the sight of My God. 3Remember,
then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake
up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come
upon you.…
A serious message, and I sure think its appropriate for the American church.
PS, I am totally fascinated by the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I am surprised to notice that I had not really pondered those words before.
All of these transcendent images are objects of wonderment. I do wonder.
