The church in Philadelphia

Revelation 3:7-10

King James Version (KJV)

” ...
7.And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

8.I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

9. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

10. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
...”

Only America is more like the church at Laodicea

Which is lukewarm, neither hot or cold,
“...

14.And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15.I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16.So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17.Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18.I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19.As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”

...and are spewed out of his mouth ...

So we better be real careful to obey the word of God.

I know I fail daily because I am here at Free Republic or watching TV instead of spending the time reading the Bible and serving him.
