Responding to the Lost
We need to understand God's heart for the lost. He loves all people without labeling or judging them based on our values. Everyone is valuable to God. The lost must become our priority, calling us to action. Each of us can impact others for God's kingdom by reaching out. There is joy when the lost are found. God Himself rejoices when someone is restored to Him.

The Church of Pergamum: Revelation 2
The church at Pergamum, much like many of our American churches, was filled with three kinds of people: the faithful, the compromisers, and the people who didn’t know which group was correct. As the political capital of the region, emperor worship was at its zenith in Pergamum; it was the place where Satan had his throne. In this context, Jesus rebukes the faithful for tolerating people in their church who are both compromising and telling others that it is ok to compromise. He calls the church at Pergamum and us to confront sin, root it out, and fight it. Our Savior calls us to repent of everything that threatens us from knowing and experiencing the fullness of joy that he has come to offer.
