Working from the Right Scorecard 3: Caring About Truth, Running From Indifference - Revelation 2:12-17.

There are different types of purists. I drink whatever coffee is closest—right now that’s Tim Hortons. A coffee purist would cross town for an amazing cup, or grind their own from specific sources. That’s what a purist does.I have a growing appreciation for purists, because when it comes to Jesus, are we purists? It’s easy to take what is pure in Jesus and add to it, shaped by our experience and upbringing. People get upset with Christians they feel have become too dogmatic or rigid, and sometimes Christians are. But there is a tolerance that’s common in society that maybe Jesus isn’t so good with. I want to think with you about that today.We’re walking through the letters to the seven churches in Revelation, in a series called Working from the Right Scorecard. Today we’re looking at the third letter, to the church of Pergamum, and the focus is caring about truth and running from indifference.Extra reading: Deuteronomy 12:29-32Preacher: Bill Dyck
