“I know where you live—where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me…Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people there who hold to [false teachings].” (Revelation 2:12, 14, NIV 1984).
My Musings – Sometimes I think that Satan has set up his throne in my country (the U.S.A.). How hard it is sometimes to “remain true to [His] name” in a culture that is increasingly anti-Christ. A culture that holds to so many beliefs that are contrary to the never changing Word of God.
My Advice – But we must stand firm. We must daily reaffirm “[our] faith in [Him].”
“Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:57–58, NIV 1984).
