How does a church full of love, faith, and service drift away from Jesus without noticing? In Revelation 2:18-29, Jesus praises the church in Thyatira for doing more than they did at first, then confronts them for tolerating a teacher who mixed faith with the idol worship of their trades. Compromise rarely arrives all at once. It creeps in unannounced, especially at work and school, and it grows in a crowded heart. This message gives three ways to fight it: cultivate what Jesus celebrates, repent of assimilation, and hold on to love and truth. Following Jesus is a daily endeavor, and he is patient, present, and ready to help us turn back to him.
