Don't forget our first love!!

The Bible study I attend at work is studying Revelation. I posted the following comment on their blog about the letter to the church at Ephesus.

I can relate the church at Ephesus with some friends that I have in the blogosphere. I am active with a number of blogs that include former Mormons or who are involved in evangelical outreach to Mormons. But I fear that too often the point becomes to prove Mormonism wrong without including the greater message--the gospel of Jesus Christ.

To the Ephesians, Jesus said "you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars...Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love." (
Revelation 2:2-4)

If we do not lead people to Christ--only lead them away from their false prophets and gods--I don't know that we do them any long-term good. See Matthew 12:43-45.
