My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be: I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God, singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of a great celebration! 5<\/sup>Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? \u2026 <\/em>Psalm 42:4-5 NLT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026 I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead<\/u>. 2<\/sup>Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished<\/u> in the sight of my God. 3<\/sup>Remember<\/u>, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it<\/u><\/strong> fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. 4<\/sup>Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.\u201d<\/em> Revelation 3:1-4 NIV<\/p>\n\n\n\n
