This is a title of a song written by some friends from Peru. They are a musical family that play pan pipes. They performed at our church. They were excellent musicians and self-taught. They played guitars and pan pipes of which they made themselves. When they played this song it struck me that it was a scripture from the book of Revelations. Where Jesus asked the church at Ephesus what had happened to them. They were given everything, a free city from the Romans, a booming economy, paved roads, street lights, running water, sewer systems and no real opposition to Christianity. 40 years after they started the church in Ephesus, they had walked away from Jesus. God had given them an ideal life in the 1st century. And they had lost their first love. The others churches in the country of Turkey now, had suffered great oppression. They were faithful to God. Maybe having wealth and prosperity is more of a struggle in Christianity. It reminds me of a country that use to send missionaries to the world. Now it has for the past 30 years been receiving missionaries. I know about this because I live in that country. It is none other than the United States. After 9/11 the churches were full and everybody wanted God to do something. For about two months, people attended churches. Then they went home and stayed. This country is headed for a downfall that God will not stop. During WWII God destroyed Germany for killing 50 million people. In this country, we have killed over 50 million children since 1973. Do not think that you will escape the wrath to come because you are a Christian. All I can say is pray and ask God to forgive you. The time and date I do not know. But it is time to prepare. You don’t have long.
