Truth or Dare is not a game
the Church should play.
Faithful or faithless, holy or hellion
pure or defiled, take your pick.
You might say Thyatira
tried to have it both ways.
Loving and committed servants
on the one hand, and on the other
passively permitting one sinful pied piper
to lead the faithful away. Jezebel had to go.
Time and distance make that seem so obvious.
But is there ever a Jezebel in our own house
in our own heart, a part of us
pulling away from the Lord?
When we wrestle with right and wrong
is it Jezebel whispering in our ear?
Stand strong, says the Bible.
Do the Righteous Father’s work
until the end. The Morning Star waits
to greet each who conquers
with a crown.
Revelation 2:18–29
