FROM TODAY'S READING (7/25/2013)...
Revelation 2:1-3 (NLT) Write this letter to the angel of the church in Ephesus...“I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient endurance. I know you don’t tolerate evil people. You have examined the claims of those who say they are apostles but are not. You have discovered they are liars. You have patiently suffered for me without quitting."
Jesus commended the church folk at Ephesus for...
- their hard work
- their patiently enduring hard times
- their not tolerating or condoning evil people
- their critically examining questionable teachers
- their not quitting during hard times
