Sardis, Pergamum and Beyond

Today as we left Izmur, we were to see two of the seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation (Rev 1:11), the church or Sardis and the church of Pergagmum. All seven churches are located in the western part of Turkey and each is addressed individually in Chapters 2 & 3 of Revelations. All the scripture passages to the seven churches mention words of praise but point out that they are not yet ready and more preparation needs to be done for the second comining of Jesus. At the sites we read the scripture passagees for the churches from Revelations and we prayed. Grace has been flowing at each destination and this day was no different. Walking along and placing ourselves among these ruins and the church history that connects us has been a very moving experience.
