Sardis.
To the churches which have fallen so far.
Return before it is too late.
Body.
Silent.
Cold.
Dead?
No.
Not yet.
Faint breath.
Heartbeat.
Alive within.
Lifeless without.
Comatose.
Blind.
Deaf.
Unmoving.
Dying.
Church.
Silent.
Cold.
Dead?
No.
Not yet.
Closed doors.
Stay inside.
Away from the world.
Away from danger.
Safe.
The world is sinful.
It will hurt you.
So stay inside.
Close the door.
Bar the window.
Guard the church.
Stay strong.
Preach the truth.
But not outside.
The world is dark.
It will not listen.
So don’t go out.
Alive within.
Lifeless without.
Comatose.
Blind.
Don’t look out.
The world is hurting.
It hurts itself.
Not our concern.
Look at the church.
Warm.
Friendly.
Safe.
Deaf.
Don’t listen.
The world cries out.
It begs for truth.
Not our truth.
It wouldn’t want it.
Keep the truth.
Lock it inside.
Protect it.
Unmoving.
Stone walls.
Barred doors.
Unchanging.
Not growing.
Not shrinking.
That’s what matters.
Stay safe.
Say strong.
Don’t go out.
Dying.
