The Church at Ephesus
Ephesus was a city of culture,
A famed center of pagan
Worship and the ancient Temple
Of Artemis known everywhere.
But Christ Jesus, omnipotent and
Omnipresent, was aware of the
Church in Ephesus which received
Praise, complaint and promise.
She had been active and loyal to
To the Faith, but in time had lost her
First Love; love for God and each
Other while fighting over doctrine.
Many churches have lost their
Pristine purity and love while
Scrapping and needling over
Strict doctrinal concerns.
They had fallen, and the journey
Back was to repent and do the things
They did at first, or they will die out.
Churches can be half-dead and live.
The risen Christ makes a great
Promise to those who overcome;
They enter into the blessedness
Of the righteous kingdom of God.
