STRM Newsletter (29 Nov 14) – Sardis

Brethren,

I hope you all enjoyed a peaceful and satisfying Thanksgiving.

Regrettably, no sooner had America collectively given thanks for all the blessing that have been heaped upon this nation, than our people threw themselves into the annual orgy of unbridled consumerism known as Black Friday. America once exported great things – a spirit of excellence, great feats of engineering, a proud and strong military, justice, integrity and international aid. Now America has prostrated itself on the altar of consumerism. We export greed, government debt, hypocrisy, deceit, GMO crops, pornography and political charade and nepotism in lieu of government for the people. Now we have exported Black Friday to Canada and the UK and scenes of mindless rioting in the lust for consumer tat fills our news from the Britain.

I read this week that Russia is considering a motion in the UN for the protection of Christians from persecution. It amazes me that only 30 years ago Communist Russia banned religion while America was a haven religious freedom. Now Russia is stepping in to defend Christian minorities and America welcomes Islam into its cathedrals, schools and government institutions.

Where is the voice of outrage from the Christian majority?

The Scriptures tell us, there is nothing new under the sun. Just as the Christian church in America has died in all but name, so did the 1st Century assembly at Sardis.

The letter to this church does not follow the typical four part structure – 1) Identity of the Speaker, 2) Praised for works, 3) Criticism, 4) Offer to overcomers. Sardis is immediately criticized for being a dead church, there is no praise for her works as there are none to speak of. However, there are a few who have held fast and these are given the offer that if they continue without defiling their garments they will be given a white robe and not have their names blotted out of the Book of Life.

As we see America and Britain forsake the birthright blessings they have received and given themselves over to spiritual fornication and the obscene excesses of unbridled consumerism we know that the wrath of YHWH will soon be released against our people. I read this past week that an Anglican Bishop is proposing the Muslim prayers be read at the Coronation service of Prince Charles. This accelerating move to an ecumenical one world religion is a necessary event in fulfillment of end time prophecy. This may also add weight to our understanding that the man whose number is 666, is in fact Prince Charles.

Brethren, please hold fast to the truth you have received, keep yourselves unspotted from the sins of this carnal world and as the wrath of YHWH is poured out on our people may you be strong to stand for Him, not deny His name and keep your name safely inscribed in the Book of Life.
