DEPARTURE OF TRAINS AT
THOMSON, GA.
In Part 1 we studied the character
istics of the church at Ephesus. In
Part 2, the church at Smyrna. Now
we want to see the condition of the
church at Pergamos. We hear Him
that hath the sharp ^word with two
edges say that I know thy works,
and where thou dwellest, even where
Satan’s seat is; and thou holdest fast
my name, and hast not denied my
faith, even in those days wherein
Antipas was my faithful martyr, who
was slain among you, where Satan
dwelleth.
It seems that Christ, the great
head of the church, is watching the
churches, and keeping His eye on
them closer than we think some
times. Here He tells the church at
Pergamos, that He knows where they
all live, and He knows how they all
live. He even knows where satan’s
seat is. If there is one thing that
Christ takes more interest in than
another it is His church. It was for
the church that He shed His blood,
that it might be a holy church, with
out spot of wrinkle or any such thing,
Ephesians 5:27. He gave his life
for the church, and it is the church
that lays so near His great loving
heart.
No wonder that He keeps His eye
on the church, and keeps a record of
all the members, their street and
number, as well as a record of their
lives.
In Ecclesiastes 12:14, God says He
will bring every work into judgment,
! with every secret thing, whether it
be good or whether it be evil. Then
I he must be keeping a record of our
| lives. If all men would stop for just
! ten minutes and weigh this verse of
| scripture, and realize the fact that
; God has a record of all they have
! ever done, and th^it He will bring it
: all up before him in judgment, sure
ly there would some repenting going
on.
Christ had some real nice things
to say about this church. He said
that they had not denied His name,
nor His faith, not even when Antipas
His faitful martyr, was put to death.
One of their own number was martyr
ed for Christ sake, and the others
kept true, and did not deny Him,
even though death was staring them
in the face.
But we notice that He had some
thing against this chui’ch, even
though it had been so very faithful
and true, in all these other things.
InRev. 2:14 we find that he objected
to some doctrines that some of them
held. Thescripture says, surely ev
ery one hath a doctrine. It was a
false doctrine that brought the dis
approval of God upon this church,
and its the same that is bringing His
disapproval upon the churches of this
day. We have reached that place in
the history of our country where men
can believe just anything they please
and yet be in good standing in the
church. You can’t tell what men be
lieve today by what church they are
a member of. This writer happens
to know some men and women ust
now that hold their membership in
one church, or denomination, and that
some of the leading churches of this
country, and yet they hold to some
doctrines that are far from the doc
trines of their church.
Denying the virgin birth of Jesus
Christ does not bar men from the
membership of the average church
of our day. Denying the inspiration
of the holy scriptures, denying the
Holy Ghost and His office work, de
nying the power of the shed blood
of Jesus Christ to save and cleanse
from all sin does not bar men from
the membership of the average
church of our day. Men can deny
Paine and Boh Ingersoll and all oth
ers of their doctrine are dead! But
t .on we stop and think for a mo
ment and we are compelled to con
fess that we have them by the hun
dreds all around us. They have
dressed up old infidelity in a new suit
and giving it out from the sacred
pulpit instead of the platform, as
did Tom Paine and Bob Ingersoll and
others.
Christ told them of the church in
Pergomas, that if they did not re
pent of this that He would come and
fight against them. To repent means
more than to just be sorry; it means
to set things straight. He says, The
crooked shall be made straight. God
will hold us responsible at the judg
ment if we don’t cry aloud and spare
not and show the people their sins.
