Who is with me?

The Book of Revelations begins with letters from Christ to the seven churches in Asia Minor. Each letter is a reminder to the individual churches that they need to be watchful and ready but as I read them today, one stood out to me. It is the letter to the church at Sardis that got my attention. In this letter Christ compels that church to "Wake up!" (Rev. 3:2). You see, this church once was a...live. It was winning souls for Jesus. It was on fire for Him but had gotten complaciant. The people and gotten lazy and had let this world dictate their thoughts and their actions. They had let sin slip in. I am mighty afraid this is happening in many churches in this land even today. They once were on fire for Jesus. They were going out and winning souls. This fire grew cold and they grew weak. That is when sin slips in. Things of this world became more important and they grow distant from Christ. Folks, it is time that we wake up! Let us not become like the church in this letter. It is time to seek God, it is time to run after Him. I for one want that fire of God to burn bright in my soul. I want to serve God with my whole heart. Who is with me?
