Laodicea
The church of Laodicea presents a vivid picture
of the age in which we live. Luxury living abounds on every hand while souls
are dying for want of the Gospel. Christians are wearing crowns instead of
bearing a cross. We become more emotionally stirred over sports, politics, and
television than we do over Christ. There
is little sense of spiritual need, little longing for true revival. We give the
best of our lives to the business world, then turn over the remnants of a
wasted career to the Saviour. We cater to our bodies which in a few short years
will return to dust. We accumulate instead of forsake, lay up treasures on
earth instead of heaven. The general attitude is “ If I don’t pamper myself who
will? Let’s get ahead in the world and
give our spare evenings to the Lord.” This is our condition on the eve of
Christ’s return.
