Sister Churches

Let us muse today from Colossians 4: 15-16 and Paul’s words to the sister churches. Paul sends a greeting to the church at Laodicea, which is the church which met in the home of a man by the name of Nymphas. Paul had never been seen by this church, but was concerned that this epistle be read by this body of believers. It matters not to whom a  portion of scripture is written, it will have application for all. It is amazing how quickly a church can become cool towards the things of God. Paul sent this thought to this sister church in A.D. 64 and in A.D. 96 just 32 years later John address them as a luke warm church that God was about to spew out of his mouth. It is a frightening thought to think the church where you and I attend could be gone in a generation. The place given to the Word of God is important to the Church’s existence.
