Perilous Times: SARDIS

The same Church that unlocked the Bible for the world, becomes the Church that hides it in obscurity. The reformation Churches are those that the Church of Sardis Represents, it has a name that it lives but is DEAD.
These are the DEAD Churches today who have nothing to say of the times we live and nothing to add to the discussion. They try in vain to stand up against perversion, but they have taken away the foundation from which to stand.
They have intellectualised the simple Gospel of Christ and have made the word of God of "none effect". Rather than simply "believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved", they created a flowery acronym to explain that which the Bible does not teach.
While the Reformation Church "received and heard" that which was good, they have forgotten "how" they have "received and heard". A few names stood well and continue to stand, most however have "defiled their garments", and with the doctrines of Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gracia, which they have forgotten, "are ready to die".
God bless you.
