Overcoming Compromise: Lessons from the Church in Pergamos

This exploration of the Christian life highlights the challenges faced by believers in the Church at Pergamos, focusing on the dangers of busyness, materialism, and doctrinal compromise. The church, situated in a city rich in pagan influence, faced persecution and intense spiritual warfare yet remained faithful. However, the threat of compromise loomed large through the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolatians. This study serves as a warning that compromisers will face God's judgment and miss out on His blessings.
