5 Signs You’re Spiritually Dead by: Pastor Mark Driscoll on Jun 06, 2012

“I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.” Revelation 3:1

Jesus didn’t have anything nice to say to the church in Sardis. Then again, why should he? It wasn’t really even a church any longer. There were just a few faithful folks left. They had a reputation for being alive, but as Jesus says, they were dead. He wasn’t talking about a season of dryness where they were bothered by the lack of their passion for Jesus. The church in Sardis was disconnected from Jesus, and it didn’t bother them one bit. Jesus’ words to the church in Sardis are just as important for us to hear today. As the members of the body who make up the church, we are just as susceptible to decay and death as the people who made up the church in Sardis. So, we need to ask ourselves, “What is there in my life and the church that would lead Jesus to say the same thing about me and my church that he said to Sardis?” Here are five things to be aware of in your life and your church that may indicate you’re on a path of spiritual decay and death.
