[Lera]

Read Revelation chapter 2
It tells you exactly what happens to churches who have lost their first love and become legalistic .

Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

What does that candlestick represent ?

What happens to a church whose light is removed ?
Are they now in darkness ?
What does darkness represent ?

Yes! Good point! I was talking about the importance of Church to Christ. You prove the point even better.

Thank You!
