“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” – Revelation 2:4-5
It’s often said,”The best things in life are free”, and that is true–if you really understand what things are “best”. However, it’s also a fact that some of the things deemed “free” are actually quiet costly. An example of this is found in the words by the late Adrian Rogers:
The Sixties ushered in the sexual revolution. Now tell me one more time how “free love” was to bring peace and harmony to our world?
People are being sucked into swirling sewers of sin. Homes are coming apart at the seams. Precious little unborn babies are being put to death. Sexually transmitted diseases are rampant.
The time is half past late, and we must return to our “first love.” It’s time to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, and with all our souls, and with all our minds; and love our neighbors as we love ourselves (see Matthew 22:36-39).
It’s time to introduce people to the “free love” offered by our Savior when He died to forgive us our sins and purchase our salvation for eternity.
