So much right, yet...

After Revelation 2:18-29 

So much can be right,

and is, your works,

your love, and faith

that produce those

works, your patient

endurance, and your

ever-growing acts

and works of faith.

 

And yet.

 

You have a heresy

in your midst, not

hidden but openly

practiced, celebrating

self-indulgence and

all the sins of self.

You allow its leader

to practice her ways

and call herself

a prophetess, dishonoring

the word, dishonoring

the church. Heresy has

no place here, neither

does its toleration.
