Get Off the Curb!

 • Pete Goodman • Series: Stay on Target

The church in Thyatira was doing a lot of things right, but they were quietly tolerating sin in their own community—allowing a “Jezebel” influence to stay in the house and inevitably pull them toward destruction. Jesus warns them with severe language not because He’s cruel, but because He loves them too much to let hidden, tolerated sin lure them off the curb and into oncoming traffic. The real danger isn’t only external cultural pressure but the internal compromises we allow, thinking they’re harmless while they slowly erode our lives.
