Today's time chipping off what does not look like Christ is enabled by Revelation 2:12-17.
My righteous Judge(12),
Help me hold onto You even when everyone around me is bowing to the leading of Satan (13). Make me loyal to You until death, like Antipas (13). Keep me pure from all idolatry and impurity (14). Help me live to be satisfied by spiritual food (Your Word and Yourself) rather than by my worldly appetites and desires (17). Help me live in light of my new, pure identity in Christ rather than my old identity of being ruled by sin and self (17).
Ministry, leadership, discipleship, the local church and the deep riches of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
