Reforming Church, trust him today and take comfort in him for tomorrow – for it is only a little while longer. He is going to right all the wrongs. He is going to bring justice, nothing will stop that bolting horse. He has a plan, and he is planning on you being sealed in it.

Jesus opens the scroll, and he says, I got this. It is done. The glory of God ought to undo us as sinners, and the glory of Christ ought to redo us as his redeemed people. Friends, fellow sinners, weep no more and worship him!

When we are struggling in this world of worship, looking into the throne room of heaven gives is perspective. We know who is worthy of worship, and we know how to relate to anyone else and anything else under that higher throne. And that perspective stirs us in a response of, praise.

Repentance is re-experiencing the passionate love of Christ for you, so you want to passionately love him in return. For a lukewarm church that experiences repentance, instead of Jesus spitting them out of his mouth - with his mouth he eats with them.

More than seeing life around us, we feel it. We feel the weight of the burdens inside us, and you feel, you fear, that your faith will fail. Today, Jesus speaks to you.

Revival is never manufactured by man, it is a glorious and powerful work of the Holy Spirit.

Churches can be so tempted not to see the very things that are subtle, things that become like Mad Cow Disease in our lives, things that become part of our work lives, our lifestyle, where even our social life sees some of us unfollow Jesus.

What would Satan do to get you to stumble?

We get to Nike it. In some ways, you could sum up the Book of Revelation in a word, and that word appeared around Asia Minor on stone images, just like it appears on our clothing (for different reasons). It is the word, “Nike”.

So what if our hearts have lost our first love?

We hear, and we pray.

We call out to him, in our weariness, even in the place where we have fallen – FOR he hears you, he hears the prayers of Reforming,

his church- and the Spirit of Christ can renew our repentant hearts, and rekindle that love.

For when we call out to him, and when we see his love for us conquered, won victory, Nike over our sins…love is found.

“Outwit, Outplay, Outlast…” Jesus Christ is risen one with us in the Tribulation, and with him we will outlast.

Reading Revelation will be a lifestyle changer for you and me, for us as a church.

We don’t need to be scared of the apocalypse.
