0:00.0	This is a message from Dr. Michael Youssef, Bible teacher, on leading the way.
0:05.1	Our prayer is that it will encourage you in your walk of faith.
0:08.7	And if you'd like to learn more about Dr. Youssef and the ministry of leading the way,
0:12.8	the place to start is lTW.org.
0:26.6	Perhaps there is no greater rebuke and greater correction and great exaltation regarding that Christian's identity, then we would see, particularly in the seven letters
0:33.6	that Jesus wrote to his churches, seven letters in the book of Revelation.
0:39.8	These seven churches, with all of their problems and with all of their challenges,
0:45.6	as with all of their successes and all their failures, they represented all sorts of
0:51.5	churches, every church, everywhere in the world all the time. Five of the seven churches
0:58.1	are being rebuked for tolerating sin. Go figure. If Jesus is writing in the 21st century

1:55.4	to be relevant to the culture. They can rationalize it all they want, that they don't want
2:00.8	to offend people. They can justify it it all they want, that they don't want to offend people. They can
2:02.4	justify it any way they want, that they need to be accepted in order to be able to witness to
2:07.9	people. Whatever excuses they use, in reality, it all boils down to this. The love for the world
2:16.0	has overcome the love for Jesus. That's the bottom line.
2:19.8	You're going to see it again and again and again and again in these seven letters.
2:24.1	Before I get to the seven churches, we have to begin with the beginning, and that's Revelation 1-1.
