As promised, here is the quote that Mickey gave at the Family Meeting last night when refering to Revelation 2:1-4.
D.A. CARSON (Love In Hard Places, 184) – “Perhaps the best guess is that these Christians have succumbed to numbing, resolute faithfulness. When they were first converted, their love for God and their love for each other lay at the heart of all their service, and this love transformed work into pleasure and faithfulness into covenantal joy. Now they maintain the work and the faithfulness and the discernment, but they are no longer driven by transparent and effusive love for God and love for one another as brothers and sisters in Christ…No longer intoxicated with God’s love, no longer returning that love to him as they had at first, now they are content with the more mundane delights of diligent routine.”
