In today's third and final session on the church in Sardis, Craig and LaDonna complete their illustrations of Christ's words in Revelation as being for all time and for all churches around the world. Those illustrations had to do with Pastor Tony Evans and the Christianity Today magazine, and Christ's words about Sardis portraying itself as being alive by yet in the eyes of Christ, they were dead. In order to understand how Pastor Evans and the magazine relate to that, you have to go to last week's installment of Indigenous Faith to get the whole story. From there, the Smiths review all the remaining verses containing Christ's words to Sardis, including Revelation 3:2-6. With the help of Dr. J Vernon McGee's commentary, he not only clarifies how churches that are alive (at least in their minds), can actually be dead. He does a great service to us all by clarifying why Christ's words about blotting names out of the Book of Life does not mean true believers can lose their salvation. Craig reminds us about the Indigenous Faith video series that is another tool to help listeners go deeper into the truths presented by Craig and his close friend and fellow Ojibwe ministry colleague, Dr. Vern Charette. This series is available on the tribalrescue.com website as well. And this series on Sardis ends with an accapella song by the Smiths appropriately titled, Beautiful Land. A great reminder of what this whole series on The King is Coming is all about! Thanks for joining the Smiths today as they celebrate the soon return of Jesus Christ to earth! Right here on Indigenous Faith!
