Revelation 02:12-17 - Pergamos - The Compromising Church
Description: The church in Pergamos was surrounded by idol worship, immorality, and the worship of false gods. Jesus commends their steadfast faith, even in the face of persecution, but also points out their failure to address the dangerous doctrines of Balaam and the Nicolaitans. While they stood firm in public, they quietly compromised their faith in private, allowing idols to take root in their hearts.
