“And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen,

the faithful and true witness, the beginning of

God's creation.”

“For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it should come to

light.” (Mark 4:22)

“…are neither cold nor hot; I wish that

you were cold or hot.”

“You say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need

nothing, not realizing that you are wretched,

pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.”

“I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you

may be rich, and white garments so that you may

clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your

eyes, so that you may see.”

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to

him, and will dine with him, and he with me.

He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down

with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat

down with My Father on His throne.
