Revelation 3:1-6 The Walking Dead + PDF NTRF.org

Though the Sardinians outwardly looked alive, Jesus knew that they were in reality dead on the inside. Spiritually, these people were no more than living corpses. Of the seven churches, Sardis got the worst report card. It is a lot easier to cool down a fanatic than to warm up a corpse. Unlike the other churches, there was no mention of false teachers, or immorality, or persecution. The problem is that they were near death spiritually. There is no reason for Satan to attack it! It has been said that the biggest cult is the cult of the comfortable. Beautiful buildings and multitudes of programs do not a live church make! Some churches are merely morgues with steeples. We must recognize that some churches that we look up to as examples of growing, vibrant Christianity may, in reality, be quite dead.
