Fix It!

The second and third chapters of the book of Revelation feature short letters addressed to seven cities (churches) in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). All of them were offered encouragement as they faced the various trials that come with daily life but also the extreme challenges that particular time period presented. Of the seven, however, five were also told they had some problems that needed to be addressed, or else. Or else, what? What does that mean? Simply put, if these churches did not fix their particular problems, they were going to have to answer to Jesus in a manner of judgment; in other words, they would fall from grace. This is why it is so important that we look out for one another and encourage each other as we travel the road of life on our way to the other side. There are many detours that can be taken and many different obstacles in our paths. However, don’t give up, and don’t get sidetracked. If you find yourself fighting a particular problem, fix it!
