The Seven Churches of the Book of Revelation-Part VII

This week, Peter discusses the Church of Pergamum in chapter two of Revelation. There were three groups Jesus addressed in this church. Last week, one of the groups in this local parish was faithful to the Lord. The two groups we look at this week are displeasing to Jesus. They have given in to sexual sins and are practicing idolatry. So also, today, Catholic Christians have a huge battle that must be waged and won: the battle against pornography. Pornography is a spiritual plague affecting clergy, consecrated religious, and laypeople alike. This multi-billion dollar satanic business must be identified as a clear and present danger to individuals, families, and parishes. Just as the church in Pergamum had to turn away from sexual sins, so too, countless Catholics caught up in this grave sin must seek forgiveness, deliverance, and healing from the Lord and His mighty power to save.
