In Revelation 3, Jesus wrote a letter to the church in Philadelphia. It begins with the enigmatic greeting, “Go Birds!”

Just kidding. That’s a different Philadelphia. The Philadelphia I’m referencing is one of the seven churches in Asia Minor, in modern-day Turkey. Interestingly, of those seven letters, only two are written without any critique or correction—and Philadelphia is one of them. What ch

“Without love even the most radical devotion to God is of no value to Him. Let me make sure that sinks in… You can gain all the spiritual gifts in the world.

You can pray each morning for four hours like Martin Luther.
