Revelation 2:12-17

The church named Pergamum and the word polygamy come from the same root word! This is interesting because this church was "married" to her faith, and at the same time she was "married" to the world, which included idol worship and fornication. So, she was a compromised church! She had one foot in and one foot out! She was straddling the fence! Why? Well, it all started when she allowed false teachers and false teaching into their church, because bad believing leads to bad behavior! Let's see what our Lord has to say about this kind of church!

Revelation 2:8-11

A cross section of American adults were asked, "If you could ask God only one question, what would you ask Him?" The # 1 response was, "Why is there so much suffering in the world?" This is something that bothers some believers and nonbelievers alike. Some people use this as a way to question the goodness, or even the existence of God! However, God is not responsible for sin and suffering in the world; man is responsible. It started with Adam and each one of us continues to perpetuate a sin-stained world. The reason for the suffering in the world can be traced back to sinful people making sinful choices. Let's see what we can learn from the church at Smyrna when we face persecution and suffering.
